In what circumstances have the courts found that a respondent has substantially reduced the risk of a child being placed at risk of harm by completing remedial services?
Nova Scotia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Nova Scotia (Community Services) v. S.J.R., 2014 NSFC 20 (CanLII):
In Minister of Community Services v. C.M., 2001 NSSC 112, the court held that the respondents had successfully completed sufficient remedial services to satisfy the court that they have gained insight into the domestic issues, substantially eliminating or reducing the risk. The court confirmed that the evidence showed that the respondent had changed for the better and that this change is substantive, sufficient, and real enough for the court to be satisfied that the children were no longer in need of protective services at that time and can be safely returned home.
