Independent Review
The Office of the Child and Youth Advocate is performing an independent review of child welfare services in New Brunswick’s 15 First Nations communities.
The review will consider the historical, cultural and social issues that affect First Nations children and youths in the province, and determine what improvements can be made to ensure that they receive effective welfare services equal to those provided by the province.
The Office of the Child and Youth Advocate hopes to generate community dialogue and gain public and expert opinions on methods for delivering the best care possible to the First Nations children and their families who are in need of Child and Family Services. The review will be made public in early 2010.
