Children's Advocate Office -

The Children’s Advocate Office conducts program and service investigations to ensure that children and youth obtain the benefits to which they are entitled from Government of Saskatchewan child-serving ministries and agencies.

Concerns raised by children and youth, their families, professionals or other members of the community, which affect groups of children, may be investigated under the jurisdiction of the Children’s Advocate Office. The Children’s Advocate may also initiate these “systemic” investigations on his or her own motion, or by referral from a committee of the Legislative Assembly or Lieutenant Governor in Council.

Since 2006, the Children's Advocate Office has undertaken two major systemic investigations into issues related to the Oyate Safe House and foster home overcrowding.
