Know Your Rights - Clients of Children’s Aid Societies
Part X: Your Personal Information
On January 1, 2020, Part X of the Child, Youth, and Family Services Act (CYFSA) comes into force, creating a new access and privacy framework for Ontario’s child and family services sector. The Information and Privacy Commissioner (IPC) will oversee these new rules for the collection, use and disclosure of personal information.
To raise awareness of access and privacy rights among, children, youth and families, the IPC has prepared a brochure, poster and quick reference card.
