Customary Standards of Care, February 11, 2011
In 2008-2009 the First Nations Family & Community Institute worked with a group of First Nations Group home, therapeutic, and stabilization and assessment group home Managers and Ministry of Social Service representatives to further develop the Customary Standards of Care. The result was a document that guides the homes using provincial policy and relevant standards, criteria, and indicators. This format provides ongoing direction to homes to follow policy and internally evaluate their alignment to standards.
The Customary Standards of Care was approved by the Legislative Assembly of the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations (FSIN) on February 16, 2011. A copy of the resolution is located at the end of the document.

This manual is designed and formatted for easy reference, and refers extensively to the Customary Standards of Care for Saskatchewan First Nations Group Home, Assessment and Stabilization, Therapeutic and Treatment Programs.
