Nova Scotia’s vulnerable children and youth continue to fall through the cracks in our province. They need their voices heard.
We’re calling for the creation of a Child and Youth Advocate office to protect and promote the rights of Nova Scotia children and youth.
Why advocate for a Child and Youth Advocate office?
- A Child and Youth Advocate office will ensure that children and youth rights are respected and valued.
- A Child and Youth Advocate office will create a strong child and youth voice and contribute immense value to Nova Scotia’s political decision making.
- Nova Scotia is one of the only provinces without a Child and Youth Advocate office.
- A Child and Youth Advocate office will advocate for holistic and coordinated services for children and youth.
- A Child and Youth Advocate office will improve timely, accessible and adequate service provision for at risk children and youth and their families.
