The FPC receives referrals from VACFSS's Child Safety or Guardianship programs.

The FPC will work in partnership with the referring social worker and the child's immediate and extended family to identify and build on strengths so that risks to child safety and wellbeing can be reduced and/or eliminated.


This is enacted through practice by:
(1) Gathering the Circle; (2) Listening, Assessing and Finding Solutions; (3) Creating Security, Belonging and Well-being; and (4) Keeping the Circle Strong.


The FPC will provide an intensive array of services over a short term either directly or through referrals to contractors or community partners to assist families in building upon their strengths and enhancing family functioning.

The FPC in consultation with their Supervisor will also assist with therapeutic access or visit supervision, support families during court proceedings, and ensure case documentation is maintained accurately, fully and in a timely manner.


The FPC will understand the importance of culture in healing for children, youth and families and will help guide connection to culture or spiritual expression with bands or nations.

The FPC will be able to work closely with community, VACFSS' Family Support Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and others where appropriate to help families participate in culture and ceremony and gain connections to community.

The work of the FPC is guided by the values of belonging, respect, strengths-based practice, integrity, and humility.

It is conducted in accordance with practice standards, legislation, and VACFSS's philosophy of service delivery, in pursuit of a balanced and harmonious Indigenous community.

The FPC will have a good understanding of the Child, Family and Community Services Act (CFCSA) and the Federal Act Bill C92.
