The Indigenous Council will oversee the use of this data. In alignment with OCAP (ownership, control, access, and possession) principles, the BCCSW is committed to ongoing respectful relationships with Indigenous registrants, peoples, and communities. The benefits of ensuring OCAP is upheld includes rebuilding of trust, decreased bias, meaningful capacity development, and community empowerment to make change (Schnarch, 2004). The Indigenous Council will monitor the numbers and trends of voluntarily identified Indigenous registrants, will decide when and how this information will be shared, and provide direction to the BCCSW on action items necessary in relation to this data.
