Child & Youth Advocate Act 

We are engaging with youth and communities to inform updates to the Child & Youth Advocate Act.
Why is the CYAA being reviewed?

  • The Act came into force in 2009 and is currently ten years overdue for review.

  • Many sections of the legislation are outdated and require updating.​​

  • YCAO has continued to engage with youth, First Nations governments, service providers and families

We then provide an updated submission to the Members’ Services Board, all-party committee of the Legislative Assembly responsible for reviewing the Act.

Themes of the Review:

Guiding Principles & Definitions
Public Reporting
Information Sharing
Child Death Reviews
Lawyers for Children & Youth
Communicating Children's Rights
