Children in Care in Newfoundland and Labrador

This study involved an in-depth exploration of provincial and regional programs and services associated with children in the care/custody of a director of Child, Youth & Family Services. The primary objectives of this study were to establish an accurate profile of all children currently in the care and custody of a director of CYFS, determine the extent to which existing placements were suitable, to identify the gaps in the current placement continuum, and offer recommendations about how to strengthen the placement resources currently available, as well as identify ways to address identified gaps in the existing continuum.
