The "Mapping Disparities for Black Families" report is available as a series.

The report includes recommendations for change that offer child welfare policymakers a roadmap to meaningfully address the inequitable experiences of Black families in Ontario 's child welfare system.

Black families are more than twice as likely as white families to be referred to and investigated by child welfare agencies.

The Mapping Disparities for Black Families project is planning to hold a second round of community consultations on additional study findings.

"We also hope to find out what community supports beyond the child welfare system are helpful and effective in strengthening Black families," says Edwards .

"This is just a first step," says King .
