Brantford ON

Child and Family Services of Grand Erie (CFSGE) is the provincially mandated child protection agency serving the communities of Brantford, Brant County, Haldimand County, Norfolk County, and the Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. Guided by the Child, Youth and Family Services Act (CYFSA), CFSGE works to ensure the safety, well-being, and positive development of children and youth while supporting families to remain strong, connected, and resilient. The Agency believes child welfare is a shared responsibility. Working collaboratively with families, Indigenous partners, and community organizations, CFSGE provides prevention, protection, and family support services that prioritize the least intrusive approaches and strengthen family capacity wherever possible. Governed by a community-based Board of Directors with representation from the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and Six Nations of the Grand River, the organization is guided by a vision that children and youth are safe and thriving in their families. The Agency’s work is grounded in the values of accountability, compassion, innovation, integrity, and teamwork, reflecting a deep commitment to culturally responsive, inclusive, and community-based child welfare practice. CFSGE continues to evolve following its recent amalgamation, and the organization is focused on strengthening a unified culture, advancing service excellence, and ensuring that its programs and services meet the changing needs of children, youth, and families across the region.
