Child Protection
The Children's Aid Society of the Districts of Sudbury and Manitoulin is committed to protecting and promoting the well-being of children in our communities.
Duty to Report
Our children are precious and the most vulnerable citizens of our society, they deserve a life free of fear and violence. Each of us has a responsibility to protect them from abuse and harm by learning the signs of child abuse and reporting suspected child abuse to a Children's Aid Society.
