Service Provider Resources
This section of the website contains links to informational resources to support CLBC Service Providers.
If you are a service provider and have a question, or need assistance, please contact your local CLBC office.
If you need to contact Community Living BC about an urgent situation outside of general office hours (8:30am to 4:30pm, Monday to Friday), if you call your local CLBC office you will hear a voicemail message instructing you to call the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) Provincial Centralized Screening phone line at: 1-800-663-9122. If you have an emergency, please phone 9-1-1.
An urgent situation that would require a call to this 1-800 number is one in which the health or safety of an individual is at immediate risk, or where serious harm has already occurred, and where some type of immediate action is required before CLBC offices re-open.
Examples include:
- Sudden or unexpected death
- Report or allegation of abuse or neglect pursuant to the Adult Guardianship Act
- Emergent placement breakdown.
CEO Messages to Service Providers
Employment Service Toolkit
The Workforce Development Agreement (WDA) provides funding for CLBC employment services. Starting April 1, 2020, CLBC must collect mandatory information from employment service providers to report to the provincial and federal government quarterly as part of requirements for receiving WDA funding. Some information gathered also helps CLBC and service providers strengthen employment services.
The Periodic Report for Employment 2020 (PRE2020) is the tool developed to collect this important information and the Secure File Transfer System (SFTS) is the secure method providers use to submit reports to CLBC.
Click here to access the Periodic Report for Employment (PRE) Toolkit, which supports service providers and CLBC staff with the PRE2020 reporting process.
