The following applies in the Province of Manitoba where I live. If Robert's death occurred here, because Melissa Jenkins received services from H&W within one year before Robert’s death, a review of H&W services after his death would occur.
The purpose of the review is to identify ways in which the programs and services under review may be improved to enhance the safety and well-being of children and prevent deaths in similar circumstances. The report is confidential and must not be disclosed except as required by subsection (3) or as permitted by subsection (6) or Part VI.
