Your Rights in Care - for children and youth

Peel CAS has created a variety of brochures to help children and youth in care understand their rights and responsibilities, and how to get help if they need it. Workers go over this information with young people when they come into care and at regular intervals thereafter.

We have compiled these documents below (click the document title to open the PDF file):
