Child Intervention Permanency Outcomes Achieved by Indigenous/non-Indigenous Status

Description

This Children and Family Services dataset provides an overview of the number of Indigenous and non-Indigenous children and youth achieving a permanency outcome. The child intervention system is part of Alberta’s system of support for families that encourages good outcomes for children and youth. Child intervention services are focused on the well-being of children, supporting families to be healthy, and ensuring children grow up in safe and nurturing homes.

Intervention services are provided when there are concerns that a child or youth is being neglected or abused by their parent or guardian, with the goal of keeping families together (family preservation), returning children home safely (family reunification), or finding other permanent homes through legal permanency (adoption, private guardianship and termination of PGO/PGA) for children as quickly as possible.

Permanency outcomes are posted two years after the report period end date and from there the data shows the total number of permanency outcomes in the province for each fiscal year dating back ten years. There is a further breakdown of the information by the number of Indigenous and non-Indigenous children achieving permanency outcomes.

Information is available through the links listed below as aggregate data in Excel, as visualizations in CI Interactive Data Tool and as descriptions of data fields and elements in the Data Dictionary.
