Today, weβre releasing new βYour Rights During Family Investigationsβ guides, to help parents, caregivers, advocates, and lawyers better understand the family investigation process.
Every year in BC, thousands of families experience an investigation by the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) or a delegated Indigenous Child and family service agency.
Regardless of their outcome, investigations can be shocking, traumatizing, and invasive.
Yet, parents and caregivers have rights that they can exercise to safeguard themselves and their children from unfair and unjust investigation processes.
