We asked how you’d like IndigiNews to cover Robert Riley Saunders’ trial, and we heard your calls for survivor-centred coverage. If you were personally impacted by Saunders’ alleged actions while he was employed as a social worker by the Ministry of Children and Family Development in Kelowna, between 1996 and 2018, we’d like to ask you:
-
What would justice look like for you?
-
What changes would you like to see in the child welfare system?
-
How do you plan to care for yourself as this trial unfolds?
-
What message would you like to share with other youth or families impacted by Saunders’ alleged actions?
If you’re interested in being interviewed, please be in touch: [email protected].
Please note: We value your safety and your right to freedom of speech, and we are happy to discuss ways of protecting your identity if that’s something that is important to you.
