Duty to Report

We have a moral obligation to protect our children from harm, so that they can live in safety and grow up to become our community’s leaders.

Every adult in Ontario has a legal obligation to report known or suspected child abuse or neglect to a Children’s Aid Society. Tikinagan Child and Family Services is the Children’s Aid Society for First Nations children in our catchment area (see Our Communities), so if you know or suspect that a child is being abused, call us right away at 1-800-465-3624, 24-hours a day, 7 days a week here at Tikinagan. All calls are confidential. If your concern is not immediate or you don’t have access to a phone, you may also make a report using our confidential online form above.

We’re always available to talk about your concerns, and the information you give us, including your identity, will remain confidential whenever possible.
