Legislation this spring will set out this review function. Most of these complaints were resolved through further discussion between the CFRB, MCF and the complainants. Plans of care should also provide a record of progress and a tool to periodically review and adjust the plan if needed. The plan should be comprehensive and timely. The plan should be relevant to the individual child.
Every child has different needs and interests.
Planning must respect and celebrate the uniqueness of each child. Programs and Services To meet the needs of individual children the system requires an array of service options which are appropriate for the child's culture, family situation and development level. Many of the complaints were related to concerns about the lack of resources for children with special needs such as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, Neo-natal Abstinence Syndrome, Attention Deficit Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, emotionally and behaviourally disturbed adolescents, and teen parents. Reviews Four of the complaints lodged with the CFRB were unable to be resolved through informal, collaborative or mediated efforts and proceeded to a more formal hearing. In convening such reviews, the CFRB has attempted to make it clear to participants that the purpose of this process is not to criticize, find fault, or establish a basis for individual discipline.
