Welcome

MISSION STATEMENT

The Children's Aid Society of Brant will work with families
and the community to safeguard a permanent, nurturing
family for all children at risk of abuse, neglect or abandonment.

In response to our commitment to strengthen and value
families, we will work to recognize and use the strengths of
families in all assessments, decision-making and actions.

We share with the community the responsibility for
protecting children and strengthening families.

We will work in collaboration with the community to achieve
this purpose.

The Board of Directors of the Brant CAS has endorsed the
United Nations framework titled Guidelines for the Alternative
Care of Children, (December 2009),  and as such expects
that these will always be considered when the agency is
exploring the possibility of children under its care being
placed in an alternative living situation .  These Guidelines
have been previously circulated by the Child Welfare League
of Canada.
