The following is a statement by Social Services Minister June Draude regarding the report issued from the BC Representative for Children and Youth:
The Ministry of Social Services accepts the findings of the report from the BC Representative for Children and Youth as well as the further observations made by the BC Representative and thanks them for their work.
It is a horrific tragedy whenever a child is abused or neglected at the hands of their caregiver. Tragedies like this are heartbreaking and warrant our utmost attention, along with action to try to prevent this from happening again.
The ministry has started the work on addressing these observations and will continue to work closely with the Saskatchewan Advocate for Children and Youth to report on our progress
Many changes have already taken place since the time of this incident which have improved the lives of children and families. The Cabinet Committee on Children and Youth was established in December 2010 in response to the Child Welfare Review Panel’s final report, we have created 90 new front-line child welfare positions throughout the province, improving capacity and ability to provide services to children and families, we have continued implementation of intensive family supports in targeted communities, and the ministry has implemented the Structured Decision Making® (SDM) model in all ministry service centres and in two First Nations Child and Family Services Agencies, providing a new model for assessment of risk in child protection cases.
While we cannot go back and change what occurred, we can and will continue to review, learn from what happened and make every effort to ensure it does not happen in the future.
