BALL (Humber Valley) – To
Move:
“WHEREAS the Province's Child and Youth Advocate has requested that
Government introduce legislation for the mandatory and immediate reporting by
all Government departments and agencies of the deaths of, and critical
incidents involving, children and youth;
AND
WHEREAS
Government has not taken a lead in notifying the Advocate's office of such
incidents, and instead, the Advocate has relied on calls from the public and
media to be made aware of cases needing her involvement;
AND
WHEREAS
legislating a direct reporting mechanism from all departments and agencies to
the advocate would help improve outcomes for those involved, as would it
improve outcomes for other children and youth receiving services; whether as a
direct result of earlier intervention in specific cases where a death or
critical incident has occurred, or indirectly as systemic issues can be more
readily identified and addressed;
THEREFORE
BE IT RESOLVED that
the House of Assembly urge Government to immediately introduce legislation for
the mandatory and immediate reporting by all Government departments and
agencies of the deaths of, and critical incidents involving, children and
youth.”
