The Family Case Management (FCM) project is intended to create an electronic case management system capable of responding to
the requirement to better track the safety, service and developmental needs of children involved with our child welfare system (as
noted by the Auditor General of Canada, the Costanzo Report, the Public Interest Disclosure of Wrongdoing Act (PIDWA) Report and
the Yukon Child and Youth Advocate Report). Moving away from intense paper-based tracking systems through the creation of an
electronic case management system will allow social workers more time to focus on client services. This in turn will help support
people’s lives by helping families and children experience better security, safety, well-being and positive outcomes. An increased
ability to demonstrate program level financial accountability, and enhanced security and privacy of program data is also expected as
an outcome given the increase in the amount of client data stored within a secure system.
