Social work professor details the lack of knowledge, leadership and expertise in those making decisions in the provincial ministry.
Examples of the effects can be seen in the number of experienced staff that have left, vacancies that are slowly being filled by new, inexperienced staff who are indoctrinated quickly into the new version of child intervention services. When the government is your employer, it is extremely difficult to push back, question or hesitate. This challenge is further intensified by political perspectives fuelled by the desire to be elected and not by the best interests of those they are there to serve.
• The Child Intervention Information and Statistics Summary, 2023 on the rates of deaths of children in care, Indigenous children in care, staff vacancies and rates of open files are all flashing a problem.Article content • The overall provincial caseload rate has decreased to 9,451 from 10,187 in 2016. Yet, the number of children in care has increased to 7,825 from 7,050 in 2016. This increase can potentially be tied to the availability of staff to respond to families in a timely manner. Delayed responses may result in escalation of risk and the need for more intrusive responses. No surprise when staff vacancy rates are high.
