Description

In response to the death of a foster child in January 2007, the Minister of Alberta Children's Services called for a review to examine the circumstances surrounding this death and to assess Alberta's foster care practice and standards. A board of experts was appointed to explore broad practice themes relating to the foster care program, which emerged through a review of specific case circumstances, program information and leading practices in Alberta and other jurisdictions. This report presents the findings and recommendations of the review board. It also presents a future vision for foster care in Alberta developed by the board, which is intended to serve as a guideline for future enhancement and refinements to the foster care system.
