John Taylor, age 14, is living in a foster care setting in the northern zone of Ontario. John's parents are currently incarcerated. Maggie Friedman, John's caseworker, learns that he has an aunt in Toronto (central zone), which may be an appropriate placement for John. John's current foster care parents have decided to discontinue as foster care providers and are willing to keep John until another placement can be found. Maggie makes a request to the Children's Aid Society (CAS0 located in Toronto to explore the option of placing John with his aunt. John Hall, intake worker for the Children's Aid Society of Toronto, records the intake information regarding John Taylor and his aunt. He records the type of intake as inter-jurisdictional and the intake is screened in. No investigation is launched for an IJ intake. An ongoing case is created for John Taylor. John Lee, ongoing worker who also had responsibility for inter-jurisdictional placements, reviews the information submitted by the sending agency. He completes the necessary interviews, on-site visits, background checks and other agency protocols with Emily Smith. He returns this information to the outgoing jurisdiction. The placement agreement is approved and arrangements are made to move John. John Taylor is placed with his aunt Emily. Responsibility for case management and financial obligations are determined by the CAS's according to local policies.
