YOUR RIGHTS
As a youth in care, you are entitled to certain rights. The Youth in Care Bill of Rights outlines your rights while in care, during the transition process and your rights around court representation. It also outlines your responsibilities as well. The LGBTQ Rainbow Youth Rights poster in English or español outlines that youth in care have the right to safe and affirming placements, medical care, and mental health care.
