Group IAP

Group IAP offers an opportunity a former student to advance through the Independent Assessment Process (IAP) with other former students as a group. Groups admitted to the IAP can be provided contribution funding to pay for support during the process.

How It Works:

Former students who share similarities (such as attendance at a school or belonging to a community) can apply to proceed through the IAP as a group.

Each member must first apply individually to the IAP, in the same manner as any other claimant. Once admitted to the IAP, the claimants must submit a Resolution Plan to proceed through the IAP as a group. The Resolution Plan:

• Lists the names of the group members;
• Indicates the how the group makes its decisions;
• Details the support activities the group will pursue;
• Outlines a budget for the activities.

To receive funding, the group designates an incorporated organization to manage its Group IAP initiative. The funding may reach $3,500 per group member.

Funding can be used by a group for:

• Administrative wages;
• Support activities;
• Accommodations, meals and transportation costs;

Each group needs a representative. He or she is responsible for organizing the support activities of the group. Staff from the Indian Residential School Adjudication Secretariat are available to assist and support the group through the process.
