2015 National Conference – World Café
At our 2015 National Conference a World Café was held to collect information from those in attendance. It was an opportune time to hear from those across Canada. A variety of topics were selected for discussion and the notes from each are being shared here for your information.
The CFFA has made some of the suggested changes to date, and are continuing to strive on making further positive changes.

Safeguarding Foster Families – Preventing Allegations of Abuse in Foster Care
The Canadian Foster Family Association has revised and updated Safeguarding Foster Families – Preventing Allegations of Abuse in Foster Care. The purpose of this training is to stimulate thinking about allegations and how allegations of abuse can, and should be handled so that people involved are protected from further abuse and dealt with in a fair and humane manner. It is hoped that it will be reviewed by foster parents, youth in care, and those child welfare agencies/departments, foster family associations and law enforcement agencies that have procedures already in existence. It is also hoped that it will be used to develop appropriate procedures where needed.
The training package includes:
- Power Point Presentation
- Participants Handbook
- Facilitators Guide
Available for purchase for $100 CN
