The Ministry of Children and Family Development (the ministry) is committed to sharing with British Columbians actions taken on recommendations provided through its oversight bodies, including the Representative for Children and Youth (RCY).

The RCY is a non-partisan, independent officer of the Legislature, reporting directly to the Legislative Assembly and not a government ministry.
