The Children's Aid Society of London & Middlesex is committed to offering the best possible services to children, youth and families. If you have a concern or complaint about service, we want to work with you to resolve the issue.
Informal Complaints
The most direct and efficient way to resolve the issue is to discuss your concern/complaint directly with your worker (or his/her supervisor or other contact person). Informal complaints do not need to be in writing.
Formal Complaints
CAS has a formal complaint process. Formal complaints must be in writing. Please see below for Procedure Brochures and Written Complaint Form. If you require assistance with putting your concern/complaint in writing, we suggest you ask a family member, trusted friend or other community agency.
