What We Do
We provide a safe, child-friendly and supportive environment where young victims are interviewed as part of a formal investigation into allegations of child abuse. Police, Child and Family Services, and Victim Services come together at Toba Centre for Children & Youth to share information and coordinate roles and responsibilities. The healing process for young victims and their care-givers begins at Toba Centre where they meet with a team of professionals in one child-friendly location. Toba Centre is focused on minimizing stress for children, youth, and families impacted by abuse. Our environment provides a private and comfortable family room and soft interview room where interviews with victims and witnesses of child abuse are conducted. High quality and best practice forensic interviewing is a core service of Toba Centre and critical component in the investigation and prosecution of child abuse cases. Toba Centre has two dedicated forensic interviewer positions that specialize in child forensic interviewing. These positions complement the investigative process through provision of neutral, unbiased and high quality forensic interviewing that support the criminal and child protection proceedings for child abuse cases and avoid multiple interviews. The forensic interviewers work collaboratively with the multi-disciplinary team to ensure that young victims are interviewed in a timely manner and receive support and information to help them move forward.
