What Happens When You Call?
The Intake Advocate receives the call, listens to
the concerns and will:
- Clarify the information and review the
steps the caller has already taken
- Offer information to assist the caller in advocating
on his/her own behalf or the child’s behalf
- Try to negotiate a resolution to the matters
raised
- Provide the caller with referrals to other agencies
or ministries that may be able to provide assistance with their concern
If a matter remains unresolved, the concern will
be forwarded to an Advocate who will try to make contact with the youth
concerned. Action will usually be initiated at the request of the young
person. The Advocate will:
- Try to negotiate a resolution to the matters raised
- Formally review and/or investigate the concern in accordance with
The Ombudsman and Children’s Advocate Act if necessary
If a child is unable to provide direction to
the Children's Advocate Office, an Advocate will work to ensure that
the child receives all of the services to which they are entitled as
outlined in provincial government legislation and policy.
