Seeing privacy through an equity lens in the child welfare sector
Listen now
Description
We all have a role to play in supporting vulnerable children, youth, and families in our communities. Misunderstandings about privacy can sometimes make people hesitant to share information about potential abuse or neglect with a children’s aid society. On the flip side, overreporting can lead to unwarranted surveillance of vulnerable and marginalized families. In this episode, Commissioner Kosseim speaks with Nicole Bonnie, CEO of the Ontario Association of Children’s Aid Societies. They discuss privacy and equity issues in the child welfare sector and how the collection of race-based data is providing the evidence needed to fuel positive change.
