Our Process
The CYAC is a multi-disciplinary team of specially trained professionals from police, child protection and victim services. When an investigation is initiated by police and/or child protection services, the CYAC Coordinator is contacted to arrange a visit at the CYAC. Upon arriving at the Centre, children and their non-offending caregiver are met by the CYC Coordinator who provides a site tour, refreshments and information. While the child/youth is being interviewed, the CYAC Coordinator can meet with the family/caregiver to provide support, answer questions and offer referrals.
