Our new report finds BC’s frontline government social workers are understaffed, lacking training and unable to get timely access to community supports that hamper their ability to care for our most vulnerable young people.

Children w/ complex medical needs should have equitable access to health care & supports that meet their needs as they grow. For Goldie, this means daily nursing support to keep her healthy, well supported, and her family whole. @jbtwickens @Josie_Osborne globalnews.ca/news/10931321/…
