As of October 1, 2009, the following process will pertain to damage to foster families’ home or personal property that is not covered by their personal home insurance or the Saskatchewan Foster Families Association liability insurance.  In these circumstances, the foster families may seek compensation from the Ministry of Social Services and the process for doing so is as follows.

• Foster parent notifies the Saskatchewan Foster Families Association of the loss or damage caused by a foster child or children in their care.

• The Saskatchewan Foster Families Association contacts the Independent Damage Assessor to carry out an assessment of the loss or damage.

• The Independent Damage Assessor will contact the foster family and an investigation to determine the origin, details of damage and cost associated with the loss will be carried out.  Contact will be made by phone initially and if necessary, a personal visit to the foster home will be made.

• Following the completion of the investigation, the Damage Assessor will provide the Regional contact person at the Ministry of Social Services with a detailed report, outlining the damage amount the foster parent is seeking, for the Ministry’s consideration and possible reimbursement.
