The applicant mother filed an application under section 120 of the Child, Youth and Family Services Act, 2017, alleging the respondent children's aid society failed to provide reasons for various decisions regarding her medically fragile child's residential placement, care, and the society's refusal to engage in alternative dispute resolution.
The Child and Family Services Review Board found that the society had adequately communicated reasons for the child's care, placement conditions, and medical issues, and had eventually provided reasons regarding mediation and Signs of Safety.
However, the Board found the society failed to provide reasons for denying a Family Group Decision Making conference and ordered it to do so within 21 days.
The application was otherwise dismissed.
