04/26/12 – On April 26, community members learned that efforts will continue in seeking a possible Child Welfare designation for Six Nations. This step is based on the December community meeting and consultation with community members. After the December meeting, open houses and discussion sessions were held to gather input and data to find evidence for moving forward in the Child Welfare designation process. Over the course of those sessions, 177 people were heard. Gathered data was compiled into a final report. The findings in this latest report were presented at the Social Services gym on the 26th of April. A copy of the report is posted on Six Nations Elected Council’s website, www.sixnations.ca. The report itself found that there was mounting concern about the way Native Services Branch of the Brant CAS was operating. The report concluded that no real opposition exists to carrying forward with the Child Welfare Designation process. Based on the data collected from the discussion sessions, the second stage design phase will be investigated. A program model will be created and will be shared with community members to receive their input. WHAT IS YOUR POSITION? After reading the final report, we are asking for your feedback and position on the next process of designing and establishing our own community based protection program and negotiating a protection designation with Ontario. |
