Child prosperity
The new Child Prosperity Act took effect on January 1, 2022. The goal of the Act is to ensure children and guardians receive the right assistance, at the right time, from the right parties. Families and children in need of early support have guaranteed access to a prosperity liaison in the child's immediate environment, such as in preschool or primary school. Guardians or children can start these prosperity services by requesting integrated services.
