History
In 1995, the Ministry of the Attorney General created the Social Justice Services Division to gather together those program areas dedicated to the protection and support of disadvantaged individuals or families dealing with the justice system. Besides the Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee, Children's Lawyer, Supervised Access Programme, and the Ontario Legal Aid Plan, the Division also included the Family Support Plan and the Accountant of the Ontario Court (General Division).
A further reorganization of the Ministry in 1999 saw the Accountant's Office moved to the Corporate Services Management Division and the Family Support Plan shifted to the Victim Services Secretariat. The resulting program areas were soon after renamed as the Family Justice Services Division
In 2011, the division was renamed the Social Justice Programs and Policy Division. In 2012, the division was again renamed the Victims and Vulnerable Persons Division.
