It\u2019s important for people to understand that the baseline harm for claims is such that nearly everyone who is eligible for the settlement will be eligible for at least \u201clevel 1\u201d compensation ($10,000).<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Treat Class Members with dignity and respect: <\/strong>\u00a0The IDS process is specifically designed to avoid the lengthy and often re-traumatizing legal process of evidence collection, cross-examination and a confrontational hearing process. Instead, the IDS claims process is designed to be simple, culturally sensitive, non-adversarial, and user-friendly. There are minimal verification requirements, and the documentation people may be asked to provide (for example, photos or personal correspondence) won\u2019t require a difficult process or third-party to obtain.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Respond to new information:\u00a0 <\/strong>The \u201cSchedule K\u201d list, which currently contains over 700 federally-run Indian Day Schools is an <em>evolving<\/em> list.\u00a0 There is a built-in process to update it as needed.\u00a0 Anyone who believes there should be a school added to the list can contact Class Counsel.\u00a0 They will be asked to provide whatever information they can about the schools (for example, school photos or class pictures). Class Counsel will then provide this information to Canada, who has independent researchers dedicated to investigating these schools.\u00a0 As soon as a new federally-run school is verified, it is added to the list.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Provide direct support to Class Members and keep them informed:\u00a0 <\/strong>Class Counsel is committed to providing as much support to Class Members as they need throughout this process.\u00a0 We have visited dozens of communities across the country, met with community leaders and listened carefully to the experiences of community members In person, through our call centre, our offices across Canada, and through our ongoing community presentations \u2013 we will remain accessible and available to Class Members, to help in any way they need (including in regard to documentation), no matter where they live.
