The Office of the Child and Youth Advocate represents the rights, interests and viewpoints of young people in Alberta.

We do this through:

  • Working directly with young people to help them understand and exercise their rights when they are involved with the child intervention or youth justice system.
  • Educating and engaging with Albertans about children’s rights and advocacy.
  • Investigating the serious injuries and deaths of young people (who meet the criteria for an investigative review under our legislation).
  • Making recommendations to the government about issues impacting young people’s lives.
