This toolkit was developed by the Campbell River Joint Transition Committee.

HERE’S HOW THE CREATORS DESCRIBE THIS TOOLKIT:

This toolkit is intended to assist with and improve social worker and foster parent practices when supporting children-in-care during times of residential transition. The Transition Subcommittee hopes that the information presented here will be used as a guide for planning and implementing transitions and will be shared with others. We recognize that there are many types of transitions; some allow for ample planning and preparation, others occur in spontaneous or emergency situations or after unforeseeable circumstances and result in transitions that do not allow for more than minimal transition planning. Children and Youth in Transition: A Toolkit for Effective Transitions contains a variety of suggestions and strategies that can be used in different situations.

You are encouraged to select the ‘tools’ that best suit the particular transition you are planning. Worksheets and checklists can be copied and adapted during transition planning. The articles and information in this toolkit were collected by the Campbell River Transition Subcommittee from many different sources, over several years. Unfortunately, we were unable to determine references or sources for some of the booklet content. Authorship has been sited where possible.
