Recommendation 11:
One must attempt to facilitate the exchange of information among those agencies, institutions, and services that are able to offer care and assistance to children of parents in conflict with the law. At the same time, the privacy protection measures guiding information exchange must be respected. In that way, organizations are provided with the mandate and capacity to collaborate and share information to provide a continuum of care to the children and their families.
- Remove obstacles that hinder outreach activities and the identification of children of parents in conflict with the law by those who can offer them support and assistance. This may involve re-examining, in the light of the principle of the best interests of the child, any privacy and confidentiality protection measure or other factors hindering information exchange and collaboration among and between agencies and significant community resources. For example, the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act can be upheld through individuals and families controlling access to and disclosure of personal information through informed consent.
- Develop interagency protocols regarding the sharing of information in order to facilitate supportive interventions, or review existing cooperation protocols.
- Ensure that interagency protocols clearly specify the situations in which a guardian’s or a family’s permission to share information is not required, for example when there are child and adult protection issues.

Recommendation 2:
Numerous interventions have been tested covering the span of children’s mental health problems. Effective prevention approaches have been delineated for most, and effective treatments have been delineated for all. For the specific problems expected to increase due to COVID-19 — namely childhood anxiety, depression, behavioural problems and posttraumatic stress — there is ample research evidence on effective prevention and treatment options that have been evaluated using rigorous measures in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with children. (Although RCTs provide the best evidence on intervention effectiveness, they also have important limitations, including underrepresenting Indigenous Peoples as well as Indigenous Methods and perspectives.) […] As well, interventions like cognitive-behavioural therapy and parent training can be culturally enriched and adapted with input, for example, from Indigenous communities. At the same time, ineffective or unproven options should not be supported during COVID-19, or at any time.
