Jordan’s Principle is a legal rule to ensure that First Nations children have access to the services they need, when they need them. Jordan's Principle applies to all public services, including mental health care, special education, dental services, physical therapy, speech therapy, medical equipment, physiotherapy, respite for caregivers and more.
It has been more than 10 years since Jordan’s Principle passed unanimously in the House of Commons, and over a year since the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal ordered the federal government to implement Jordan’s Principle in a way that upholds substantive equality. Jennifer King will provide an overview of the Tribunal’s legal orders and discuss how community members and human service workers can ensure all First Nations children, on and off reserve, receive proper benefit from Jordan's Principle.

Our values impact whether we see an issue as having ethical consequences or not, they help us make decisions every day, unconsciously. Ethics are principles that govern behavior.
