What we do
The Ombudsman resolves and investigates complaints about services provided by Ontario children's aid societies, foster homes, group homes, secure treatment facilities and youth justice facilities.
Our Children and Youth Unit staff will listen to you, answer your questions and help find solutions. If we can’t help directly, we will refer you to someone who can.
