Pp rotecting children is one of the most important
responsibilities of a society. It must be done in
a way that supports families - and deciding how
best to support families while protecting children
involves looking at many of our most fundamental
values.

W: need your views and ideas, and invite you
to participate in a review of British
Columbia’s child protection legislation.

he Honourable Joan Smallwood, Minister of

Social Services, has appointed a 10-person
panel to consult with British Columbians and to
prepare a public report on its findings. The report
will provide a framework for new child protection
legislation that will respond directly to the needs
of today’s children and families.

P anel members will be visiting all parts of the
province and holding public and private
meetings in many communities. Panel members
are interested in meeting with special interest
eroups, the Aboriginal community, professionals
and anyone who wishes to be heard.

If you would like to make a written submission
and speak about it at one of the public meetings,
please send one copy of your submission to:
