History
The Children's Services Division was created within the Ontario Department of Social Services in 1969 assuming all children's services functions previously administered by the Programs Division. In addition to assuming administration of the Child Welfare Branch and the Day Nurseries Branch, a new branch (the Children's Institution Branch) was created in March 1970. The division reported directly to the Deputy Minister until 1972 when it began reporting to the Assistant Deputy Minister, Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services. Between 1973 and 1975, the division was known as the Children's Services Bureau and formed part of the Social Services Division.
The Children's Services Division was discontinued in 1975 and its functions were assumed directly by the Social Services Division.
