Designated Representative Training offers participants an opportunity to review the role of the Designated Representative as described in the Child and Family Community Services Act (CFCSA) and the Child and Family Community Services Regulations, dealing specifically with B.C. Provincial regulations and responsibilities. The relevant sections of the legislation, rules and regulations will be examined. The Designated Representative will consider how their function may be utilized to promote the safety and well-being of children and to ensure that the rights of children to culture and community are respected and upheld by the court.

This three day training course delivers curriculum that is structured to reflect the roles of the Designated Representative and apply knowledge gained to support the rights of the children.

Training Outcomes:

  • Introduction to the CFCSA
  • Roles & Responsibilities of the Designated Representative
  • Court Notices
  • Applying the CFCSA to court proceedings
  • Definitions of Abuse and Neglect
  • New Federal legislation, C-92: An Act Respecting First Nations, Inuit and Métis children, youth and families
  • Support Services and Out of Care Options

 

  • This training was well organized and covered a wide range of topics. The Facilitator, Connie, was very easy to listen to. She provided a lot of helpful scenarios and examples. She also gave a lot of time for questions and feedback. Mixing the classroom activity and lectures with group work made that much more interesting. Overall, I learned a lot. I would highly recommend this training.
