Dufferin Child & Family Services Information

Dufferin Child and Family Services is an integrated childrens service agency, providing child protection services, childrens mental health services and developmental support services to children and families in Dufferin County. Our agency has its roots in child welfare, going back to the early 1900s when the child welfare movement spread from Toronto to other parts of Ontario. During the 1970s we began a process to evolve into a more generic childrens agency and since have integrated most local childrens services into one single multi service agency. This service model works well here in Dufferin and has both simplified service access while strengthening service co-ordination. We work closely with local police, education and other health and social agencies. Our web site is designed to provide general information about our services as well as to assist in our ongoing recruitment of foster and adoptive families, and volunteers as well as to advertise job opportunities when they become available. we work in ways that are flexible, accommodation and adaptable Policies related to accessibility of service are available upon request. © 2021, Dufferin Child & Family Services.
