General Child And Family Services Authority

Welcome from the Board of DirectorsOn behalf of our Board of Directors, I am pleased to welcome you to the General Child and Family Services website. We have tried to create a website that is informative, easy to use and hopefully of interest to a wide audience including staff of the child and family services system, foster parents, students doing research and the general public. In the website you'll find our vision, mission, values and strategic direction: all elements that guide our plans to strengthen services for the children, youth and families that we serve.You can also learn the General Authority's roles and responsibilities under the governance structure for child and family services in Manitoba that was created through new legislation in 2003. I encourage you to read our specific initiatives and service enhancements and how these represent leading practices in the field of child welfare.You'll also find informative presentations on various topics related to child welfare and the General Authority.
