- STC has the legal authority under delegation of the Ministry of Social Services (Child and Family Services Act) to assess, investigate, and respond to alleged reports of child welfare concerns in our member communities.

Protective Services for Children
Saskatoon Tribal Council (STC) Well-Being Services works collaboratively with member communities to provide positive outcomes for children and families through the Progressive Model. The Progressive Model funding assists communities in enhancing their prevention and family support services that keep families intact and thriving within their circle of support and cultural connections. The goal is to move towards implementing and delivering their child welfare model.
Well-Being Services provides two collaborative pathways of services to STC members in their respective communities:
1. Child Protection & Child Safety Services
- Ongoing assessments are essential in enhancing prevention and family support services. Communities are in the best position to know what is required to meet the needs of their families and children.
- Well-Being Services helps facilitate and support capacity building in essential prevention and family support services for our member communities through our clinical and technical support services

Violent Online Groups Exploiting Children
Violent online groups are targeting and manipulating vulnerable children and youth across widely
accessible online platforms to participate in acts of violence, including but not limited to, self-harm, torturing and killing animals, and producing child sexual exploitation material. There are multiple groups, associations and evolving subgroups that make up the online network known as “The Com” – short for community. “The Com” is a virtual community of groups and individuals who conduct illicit activities that glorify serious violence, cruelty, and gore. Elements of “The Com” network are known to have extreme ideological views and are victimizing children through desensitizing and radicalizing them to violence.
Read the attached RCMP Public Awareness Sheet to familiarize yourself with the platforms, warning signs and reporting.
