Intake-Protection
- Investigates, gathers information and makes an assessment in order to determine whether a child may be in need of protection. The intake worker will determine during the investigation whether;(a) the child is being adversely affected by the situation which prevails; (b) the child may be considered actually or potentially in need of protection; (c) the parent or other caretaker is willing and able to correct the situation; and (d) the parent or other caregiver needs or could benefit from the Society's assistance in correcting the situation.
- Provides ongoing protection service to children and families in accordance with the current child welfare legislation. Transfers are also received from other jurisdictions. The functions of Family Service Workers include ongoing monitoring, service coordination, making referrals and completing investigations when new information has been received.
- Works in conjunction with Family Services to provide hands-on assistance to families/youth in crisis on an intense and regular basis in order to prevent family/placement breakdown and to maintain children/youth in their own homes/placements. The Child and Family Well-being Team also provides short-term support to children in care and/or parents immediately following the child's admission to care or to expedite their return to the home if removal has been necessary. Supervised access is another service provided by this team.
- Provided when children or youth can not live with their parents due to child protection concerns and the family or the Court decides that living with kin is the best option. Kin would be responsible to provide financially for the majority of the needs of the child placed in their home. Kin can be a relative or someone who has a meaningful relationship to the family. When children are able to reside with kin they are in a familiar and nurturing environment with someone they know and trust.
- Serves the needs of children in care of the Agency, whereby the children are assigned workers to advocate for and assist them in meeting their needs, to the time of permanency, and in accordance with Ministry Standards.
- Staff are responsible for the recruitment, screening, training, placement, monitoring and support services to foster to permanency homes. Every child deserves a safe and supportive home.

Short Description
Fostering: Most children are placed in foster homes temporarily, ranging from a few days to several months. During that time, services are provided to help the child's family through a crisis and make the home safe for the child's return to their family. However, if a child is unable to return home or reside with kin, they will be provided with support by their foster parents who remain committed to their care until they transition to adulthood.
Adoption: Acts on behalf of children looking to adopt suitable families. Concurrent planning minimizes change for children who become available for adoption by supporting foster parents in adopting foster children.
