History
Although a co-ordinator for advocacy services was appointed in the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services in 1978 (performing the same functions as the office later would), it was not until 1986 that the Office of Child and Family Service Advocacy was formally established. This office is often colloquially referred to as the Advocacy Office. The office was located in the Operations Division from 1986- 1993 and reported directly to the Assistant Deputy Minister of Operations. In 1993, the office was placed in the Program Management Division.
