Huron-Perth Children’s Aid Society has a legal mandate to protect and support the well-being of children and youth. We are available to accept reports of children and youth in need of protection 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

You are not alone. There are many services within Huron and Perth Counties that provide support to parents, caregivers, and families.

Children and youth are at the centre of our services. A child and youth’s voice, identity, culture, and heritage are at the centre of safety planning.

If a child or youth cannot live safely at home, their parents are supported to seek help from extended family, kin, friends, and their community to ensure a child lives safely with people they know and trust.

If a child or youth cannot live safely at home, and kin are not available, foster caregivers provide children and youth with a safe, temporary, family setting during a difficult and confusing time.

Adoption is one option Children’s Aid Societies consider when looking for life-long connections for children and youth in care.
