Tools for PFAPs
Under section 4 of the Youth Protection Act, when it is not in the interest of the child to be maintained in his family environment, the decision must aim to ensure, as far as possible, continuity of care and stability of ties and living conditions appropriate to the child's needs and age and as close as possible to a family environment.
The PFAP to whom a child is entrusted shall house, care for, and provide a family living environment for the safety and development of the child. (Free translation of an excerpt from ministerial directives)
