Recommendation-Monitoring Reports
As part of its mandate, the Office of the Child & Youth Advocate makes formal recommendations to the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick on a wide variety of issues that touch on the rights of children and youth in our province.
Our office has recently developed a robust recommendation-monitoring process to ensure that recommendations are met with a sense of urgency by the Legislative Assembly.
Recommendation-Monitoring Guidebook.
The Office of the Child, Youth and Seniors Advocate (OCYSA) has developed the following guide to describe the procedures for recommendation monitoring.
The Child, Youth and Seniors Advocate is a Legislative Officer mandated to ensure protection of the rights and interests of children, youth, neglected or abused adults, and seniors.
Under the investigatory or review powers outlined in the Child, Youth and Senior Advocate Act, recommendations may be made to various authorities (including Departments of Government, any bodies acting as public officers or which are responsible to the province, local governments, District Education Councils, Regional Health Authorities, agencies of the Crown, nursing homes, community placement resources under the Family Services Act, and persons or agencies providing home support services under the Family Services Act).
Our guide will help you better understand the work we do, and the actions that your elected officials and government departments are taking to address the needs and rights of children and youth in New Brunswick as identified by the Child & Youth Advocate.
