Provincial/Territorial Protocol on Children and Families Moving Between Provinces and Territories

The Provincial/Territorial Protocol on Children and Families Moving Between Provinces and Territories provides a framework for consistent, quality services to children and families moving between provinces. The intent is that children and families should experience smooth transitions and receive emergency responses with minimal service disruption.

The Protocol exemplifies the desire of provinces and territories to co-operate and share responsibility for mutual clients. It is based on the principle that the protection and best interests of children are the primary considerations in all decisions and services.
