Practice audit reviews of child protection offices are done by the Director's office in a 4 year cycle, as part of our commitment to timely, quality services. Audits give the ministry a better understanding of programs' effectiveness and any areas of potential improvement.
Senior staff look at 25 critical measures representing key practice standards in each audit, ranging from the quality of risk assessment to the follow-up of paper work.
Our standards are tough. The ministry's quality assurance program is on the leading edge across the country and ministry child protection practices continue to improve.
