The Catholic Children’s Aid Society of Hamilton has a strong commitment to accountability and to continually improving its services through the use of data and analysis. The three core areas of child welfare work are safety, permanency and well-being and these are reflected in the five publicly reported service performance indicators.

The vast majority of the work that the CCAS of Hamilton does is to keep children safe within their families, focusing on the best interest and well-being of the children. When a child comes into care, our work is centered on supporting the family so that the child can return home safely as soon as possible.  Through the implementation of a provincial performance measurement and management system, we have taken an important step to enhance our accountability and commitment to better outcomes for the children, youth and families we serve.
