      History

      The Ontario Centre for the Prevention of Child Abuse was established in November of 1983 by the Ministry of Community and Social Services in cooperation with the Canadian Children's Foundation and leading experts in the field of child abuse. It was incorporated as a non-profit charitable corporation on April 2, 1984. The Ministry's Child Abuse Prevention Program was placed under the auspices of the Centre, as was, for a brief period, the Ministry's Child Abuse Register.

      In 1987, the Centre became independent of the Ministry of Community and Social Services and its name was changed to the Institute for the Prevention of Child Abuse.
