June 2012 Appendix 4 Invitations to 4 community planning groups, including both Special Education Advisory Committees (Catholic and Public School Boards), Student Support Leadership Initiative, Transitions Network Committee in person To: “Committee” Good Afternoon, I have been contracted by the Waterloo Region Children and Youth Services Planning Council (CYSPC) to complete a review of the process and experience of accessing services for vulnerable children and youth in Waterloo Region. The Council is made up of over 30 major service providers funded by the Ministry of Children and Youth Services. The Council’s mission is to… “…plan for, promote and continually improve a local system of services and supports for vulnerable children, youth and their families.” The project is called the Integrated Access to Services Project. The design of the project is to gather feedback on what is working for families and service providers seeking, and connecting to services. The main objective of the project is to look for practical ways to enhance current strengths, and continue building a system that is welcoming, easy to navigate, well coordinated and efficient! The information will be gathered through a combination of parent surveys, focus groups and face-to-face interviews guided by a list of questions. The Council is very committed to gathering a broad selection of views including those of educators and other related stakeholders dedicated to serving children, youth and families. Your group was suggested as one to seek to meet with. As a result, I am asking to attend one of your upcoming meetings to tell you more about the project and hear your answers to our questions. I will need approximately 30 to 45 minutes on your agenda. The session will be audio taped, with your permission, and used by me to ensure I get accurate information. Of course, no names or other personal identifiers will be used in the reporting, and all taped recordings will be destroyed after their use. The final summarized information gathered during the project will be written in a report, with recommendations that will be submitted and reviewed by the Integrated Access to Services Advisory Committee and a final report forwarded to the Council. All those who participate in the project will be provided full access to the final report. The final report is due back to the committee by March 1, 2012. Thank you for considering my request. Your participation in this review is considered key to the Council’s ability to represent your views and ideas for enhancing the system for accessing services for vulnerable children and youth in Waterloo Region. Please email me directly at laurie_robinson@rogers.com, or call me at 519.635.6719, to discuss a date. Should you have any further questions related to the project, feel free to send them along. 29 | P a g e
