dc.description.abstractThe child and family service sector includes the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) in British Columbia (BC) with a workforce of about 5,000 employees (Ministry of Children and Family Development [MCFD], n.d.) and contracts with hundreds of agencies with approximately 20,000 positions (Community Social Services Employers Association of British Columbia [CSSEA], 2025). This sector provides a wide range of direct services to support the well-being of Indigenous and non-Indigenous children, youth, and families1 (MCFD, 2023). This sector encompasses various professional roles, which include social and community service workers (National Occupational Classification [NOC] 42201), early childhood educators and assistants (NOC 42202), social workers (NOC 41300), therapists in counselling and related specialized therapies (NOC 41301), and managers in social, community and correction services (NOC 40030).
