The Alberta Child Intervention Review Panel (Panel) was asked to help strengthen the "system" of child intervention service in Alberta, and in particular find ways to improve its accountability, adaptability and continuous improvement. We were not asked to review the quality of services delivered or to assess outcomes that are realized for children and families who receive intervention services. However, we know there is a strong connection between the performance of individuals who provide services and the conditions in which they work. By focusing "upstream" on improving organization and processes, this Panel was asked to help create conditions where it is possible to deliver better services. In this way, enhanced accountability, adaptability and continual improvement will ultimately improve outcomes for children and families.
