Our new report finds BC’s frontline government social workers are understaffed, lacking training and unable to get timely access to community supports that hamper their ability to care for our most vulnerable young people.

Children w/ complex medical needs should have equitable access to health care & supports that meet their needs as they grow. For Goldie, this means daily nursing support to keep her healthy, well supported, and her family whole. @jbtwickens @Josie_Osborne https://t.co/js5TGJNfaC

Premier @Dave_Eby said he wanted to build a province where no one is left behind but over 80,000 children & youth ARE left behind entirely

Some without access to support, locked behind years-long waitlists, no school support, the list goes on.
