About this service
At Siksika Childrens Services, we believe that every child deserves to grow up in a loving, stable and permanent home.
Private Guardianship is an alternative to adoption used by Siksika Childrens Services to provide this for Siksika children.
Any adult who has been taking continuous care of a child can apply to become a permanent guardian. If the child has been under the care of Siksika Childrens Services due to a Permanent Guardianship Order, we are here to support you when making an application.
If you are interested in applying for Private Guardianship you can contact the childs care worker, and they will help to guide you through all of the necessary steps.
