Project Overview

The South Island Indigenous Authority (SIIA) piloted a project to convene Indigenous Governing Bodies advancing jurisdiction in Child and Family Services from across the province to collectively developed a child and family data standard.

The project included co-developing shared definitions, classification tiers, governance principles, and an information-sharing framework.

This provides a common foundation for how child and family data are defined, shared, and used across participating Nations.
