Recommendation 3:
Implement directives related to the confiscation of belongings from people who rely on public space, which recognize that this practice has continued potential for harmful and discriminatory impacts.
- In the rare event that belongings must be confiscated, directives should clearly detail how City staff are to protect the rights and dignity of those who are impacted, including rights to procedural fairness.
- City staff must provide at least 24 hours of advance notice prior to seizure.
- If someone’s belongings are justifiably confiscated, City staff must provide a receipt that details what was taken, and clear instructions on how to retrieve personal belongings.

High risk cases (e.g., high conflict, presence of violence, allegations of parental alienation) pose a threat to children’s legal right to participation (Martinson & Raven, 2020b; Morrison et al., 2020). As such, safeguards must be put into place that ensure children’s rights are respected and that their access to justice and best interests are advanced in high-risk cases.
