We are pleased to announce that Ontario's Ministry of Children and Youth Services has officially released the Formal Customary Care - A Practice Guide to Principles, Processes and Best Practices.
In the guideline, you will find:
- Introduction to Customary Care
- Step by step guide to using formal customary care
- Sample agreements, protocols, letters of notification
- and etc.
It was an amazing experience to work with various communities, Child and Family Services agencies and children and their families in the creation of this guideline. We hope that, with this guide, we can work to keep children close to their families.
