Indigenous Communities and Child Welfare Guidebook
This resource provides advice to lawyers, judges, children, families, communities, and social work teams. The guide suggests steps to improve outcomes for Indigenous children and families involved in the child welfare system, while working to implement Indigenous laws and jurisdiction.
The information we provide on this site explains the law in general and isn’t intended to be used as legal advice for specific legal problems. Because each person’s legal issue is different, it’s a good idea to talk to a lawyer. See Where can I get legal advice? to find legal services.
