This presentation documents the long-term child protection service trajectories of on and off-reserve First Nations children living in Quebec, by reporting rates of children who experienced key investigation and post-investigation interventions within the last decade. Secondary clinical-administrative child protection data drawn from the “Gestion fondée sur les indicateurs de suivi clinique” project dataset, consisting of data from 16 mandated mainstream and 16 delegated First Nations agencies, served to document the service trajectories of children investigated by child protection. This project, the third component of a wider project on Quebec First Nations children involved with child protection spearheaded by the First Nations of Quebec and Labrador Health and Social Services Commission (FNQLHSSC), was realized through the work of a collaborative committee composed of representatives from the FNQLHSSC, the Quebec Ministry of Health and Social Services, the mandated mainstream agencies, the Institut national d’excellence en santé et en services sociaux, and university researchers. The longitudinal follow-up component of this analysis confirms that the overrepresentation of First Nations children is consistent over time and throughout the child protection service continuum.
