Class Action Lawsuit against the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers | Reform the Children's Aid Societies in Ontario

Class Action Lawsuit against the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers | Reform the Children's Aid Societies in Ontario
With a little luck, The Ontario College of Social Workers will soon be defending against a lawsuit focused on why they allow employees of various Children’s Aid Societies to practice as social workers without being registered.

The announcement from Canada Court Watch:

A lawyer has approached Canada Court Watch interested in seeking out those in Ontario who feel that their families have adversely affected as a result of CAS workers who are not registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers.

Under law, all CAS workers engaged in the practice of social work must be registered with the College. Most in Ontario are not. The Ontario College of Social Workers has the fiduciary duty to protect the public by ensuring that all CAS workers who engage in social work are registered.

Many, including a number of lawyers, feel that as a result of the College not fulfilling its fiduciary duty to the public that the time has come for the College to be taken to court by those who have been affected. It is time for the College to live up to its obligations to the public or to be shut down and put out of business.

If you feel that your family has suffered harm as a result of CAS workers who are not registered with the College, then please contact Canada Court Watch at info@canadacourtwatch.com.
