There are two distinct streams of Consultation, which can be sought: the first is with the PEI Office of the Child and Youth Advocate and the second is with the Child and Youth Advisory Committee of the PEI Office of the Child and Youth Advocate. Both are important and one is not a substitute for the other. 

All consultations requests are to be directed to the Child and Youth Advocate. Approval for consultations are at the discretion of the Child and Youth Advocate.
