New piece in Policy Options by Anika Ganness, a former postdoctoral fellow and incoming Assistant Professor of Public Policy at Toronto Metropolitan University ⬇️

Anika Ganness, Ph.D. @anikaganness.bsky.social · Jul 5

Ontario’s focus on child welfare finances won’t keep kids safe.

My piece for @policyoptions.irpp.org explains why:

policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/ju...

Ontario’s child welfare audits miss systemic problems and racial inequities

The province’s audits focus on spending but ignore racial disparities, weak oversight and broken promises to reform the system.
