**Society Response to COVID-19 (updated March 24, 2020)

At the Halton Children’s Aid Society (Society) the health and safety of our children, youth, staff, resource providers and volunteers remains our top priority and we are taking a proactive approach to protect those we serve. We want to do our part to limit the spread of infection and to ensure that we are able to meet the needs of the community we serve.

In response to the evolving COVID-19 situation, the Province of Ontario has identified children’s aid societies as an essential service; therefore,

**Please be assured the public can continue to access child protection services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 905.333.4441**

The Halton Children’s Aid Society office locations are closed to the public until further notice. Signage indicating this is posted at each location.

All in-person access visits and volunteer drives have been suspended until further notice. Access visits and drives were suspended March 18, 2020; alternative options have been implemented.

These were difficult decisions to make as we balance the needs of our children, youth and families and safety for all. We will continue to adjust and re-calibrate our plans as required and appreciate your support.
