Youth in Care

In addition to the ordinary process for children and youth above, youth on a Continuing Custody Order or Youth Agreement with the Ministry of Children and Family Development must follow a special process.

When a child or youth in care of the ministry under the guardianship of MCFD has experienced trauma related to their name, the application can be made by a social worker.

The application must also include:

• A copy of the Continuing Custody Order or Youth Agreement
• MCF Delegation letter to the Social Worker
• A Statutory Declaration (commissioned by a lawyer, notary, or commissioner for taking affidavits) outlining the circumstances creating the trauma experienced by the minor as a result of their name.
