What the ministry can do
If you ask the Ministry of Children and Family Development for help, different arrangements are possible. The two most common responses to requests for help are: the ministry refers you to the particular community services you need or it provides the services you need.
The ministry refers you to community services
If you have a simple request, ministry staff will suggest some community resources where you can get help. This referral practice varies from office to office and depends on staffing and time. Ministry staff may keep a record of your call either as a written note or temporarily on a computer for 30 days.
