One Vision One Voice is a program led by the African Canadian community. It is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Children, Co ... mmunity and Social Services through the Ontario Association of Children’s Aid Societies and addresses the overrepresentation and experiences of disparities faced by African Canadians after coming into contact with the child welfare system. Officially as of March 2020, Phase III of the One Vision One Voice (OVOV) program is underway. The focus of this next phase will be on the ongoing implementation work of the 11 Race Equity Practices. The third part of the Practice Framework series has been released. It is a toolkit that will help agencies assess their implementation of the Race Equity Practices to date, determine what more is needed, and develop further implementation plans. Other priorities for the next phase of work include ongoing engagement with the African Canadian community, developing a leadership mentorship program for African Canadians working in the child welfare sector, launching additional Power Up! youth gatherings, and evaluating existing programs and service delivery models. read more
