History
The Children's Services Division was formally established on 1 July 1977.
In addition to assuming Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services child welfare and day care functions, the new division consolidated children's services from three other ministries. From the Ministry of Correctional Services, the division assumed responsibility for training schools, group homes, and probation functions. From the Ministry of the Attorney General, the division assumed responsibility for functions relating to observation and detention homes. Lastly, from the Ministry of Health, the new division assumed responsibility for functions relating to children's mental health services.
By 1981 the division was dissolved; functions relating to the provision of children's services were decentralized to the regional level and broad policy development was placed in the Children's and Adult's Policy and Program Development Division.
