This project builds on the first phase, using findings gleaned in the IFSD 2019 report Enabling First Nations Children to Thrive to develop a bottom-up community needs-based implementation plan for changes in structure and resources for FNCFS.
The success of this project depends on your participation. FNCFS agencies have a historic opportunity in response to the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal's (CHRT) orders to revisit the program architecture and associated funding for First Nations child welfare. We need your help to understand operational nuances, contextual specificities and for building representative cases.
As experts and practitioners, your support, feedback and knowledge are invaluable and will be an integral component of the success of this project. We will look to you as advisors for feedback and commentary as we move throughout the project's stages.
