Application dismissed as applicant failed to use required complaint form and provide particulars of decisions.
The applicant filed an application with the Child and Family Services Review Board alleging the respondent children's aid society failed to comply with its complaint review procedure and failed to provide reasons for decisions affecting his interests.
The applicant had complained about the respondent interviewing his child at school without consent.
The Board dismissed the application, finding the applicant did not initially file his complaint in the required form, and later failed to provide particulars of the decisions for which he sought reasons, effectively withdrawing from the written hearing process.
Board assumes jurisdiction over some children's aid society complaints not currently before the child protection court.
The applicant mother filed a complaint with the Child and Family Services Review Board regarding services provided by the respondent children's aid society.
The society argued that the board lacked jurisdiction because the issues were currently before the court in an ongoing child protection proceeding.
The board reviewed eight specific allegations and found that five were separate and different from the court proceedings and could proceed to a pre-hearing.
The remaining three issues were found to be squarely before the court and outside the board's jurisdiction.
