The child intervention system is part of Alberta’s system of support for families that encourages good outcomes for children and youth. Child intervention services are focused on the well-being of children, supporting families to be healthy, and ensuring children grow up in safe and nurturing homes.
Permanency outcomes are posted two years after the report period end date and from there the data shows the total number of permanency outcomes in the province for each fiscal year dating back ten years.
