The Child Safety team is responsible for the protection of
Cowichan Tribes’ children.
Social workers ensure children at risk are safe, at times needing
to remove children until the parent(s) can resolve their
problems. Every effort is made to develop plans with
parents so the child(ren) can stay in their home or with extended
family. The support provided by this group goes well
beyond the comparable service currently provided by the
Ministry of Child and Family Development.
