Workins/Days Summary
This summary box indicates the timeliness of the Program. The Working Days are counted from
the day the referral is received to the day a Conference is hosted or the referral is Declined or
Resolved. (Working Days are counted Monday-Friday.)
On the average, from the day the referral is received to the day a referral goes to Conference
(indicated in green) the timeline is approximately eighteen point six (18.6) Working Days. This
number is lower than last year's average and is due in part to a greater involvement of volunteer
Practitioners in the interviewing and planning process. (The average length of time for a referral to
go through the court system is between nine - twelve months.)

Referrals that were Resolved (indicated in purple) took thirty point four (30.4) Working Days to
reach a resolve. The number of Resolved files is higher than last year, which had five (5).
Referrals ale Resolved when taking the PH andior PWCH would cause more harm or when
Conferences have been set-up and postponed for reasons due to illnesses in the family,
unwillingness to face the PWCH, other health conditions, e.g., FASD and mental health concerns.
Referrals that were Declined (indicated with grey) took thirty point four (30.4) Working Days to
reach a decision on whether or not to proceed. The numbel of Declined files is liigher than last
year, which had only one (1). Referrals are declined for the following reason:
1l The Person(s) Harmed (PH) is not suitable. willine and/or able:
For the PH to be determined "not witling and/or able" means it was felt to participate
in a Conference could cause more harm. Some of these files can be Resolved with the
support/direction of the PH, referral source and in agreement with the PWCH.
2) The Person(s) Who Caused Harm (PWCH) not willine and/or suitable:
For the PWCH to be determined "not willing and/or suitable" it was a result of them
not agreeing, or not attending the pre-Conference interview, and therefore not willing
or able to take responsibility or be held accountable. This year the main reason for
referrals being Declined was that the P'WCH was involved in other incidents while
going through the RJ process and others charges were brought forward.
