Moving the dial on children’s rights in Manitoba: Summary assessment of government compliance with recommendations made under the Advocate for Children and Youth Act

This report, titled Moving the Dial on Children’s Rights in Manitoba, is the fourth compliance report that MACY has released, and signifies the fifth full year under the current ACYA legislation. With five years to reflect  upon, and 80 total recommendations issued, this is a fitting moment to take stock of the progress achieved so far, as well as the lessons learned along the way. As this report reveals, public bodies have been working  diligently to implement recommendations, with some significant progress made over the years. At the same time, however, many of the systemic issues the recommendations strive to address have seen little improvement, which has very  serious implications for children’s rights and well-being across the province.
