Service disparities are a result of geography (distance f rom a service hub)\, program administration and policy design (division of responsibilities\, etc.)\, and funding disparities between provincially a nd federally provided services. The discrimination of First Nations childr en in the system for the provision of public services is a pressing social issue that violates First Nations children’s human\, constitutional\, and Treaty rights. In this seminar\, we will present preliminary findings fro m a research project carried out in collaboration with Pinaymootang First Nation\, an Anishinaabe band from Manitoba’s Interlake Region. We explore the services available to children with complex needs living in the commun ity and to their primary caregivers\, and argue that current policy forces the community’s service providers to function in a context of excessive b urden\, uncertainty\, and risk. We conclude that severe service disparitie s remain a pressing human rights concern and argue that community-level da ta is the key to developing policies that better ensure that all Canadian children have access to the services they need regardless of their race\, Status\, or place of residence (on or off reserve).\n\nFor more informatio n on CRCF's research seminars\, please click here.\n DTSTART:20170208T170000Z DTEND:20170208T180000Z LOCATION:Wendy Patrick room (room 118)\, Wilson Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 2A7\, 3506 rue University SUMMARY:Research Seminar - The impact of service disparities on First Natio ns children with complex needs living on reserves\, their families\, and t heir communities: a case study URL:/crcf/channels/event/research-seminar-impact-servi ce-disparities-first-nations-children-complex-needs-living-reserves-265078 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
