Ethnocultural Action Framework

The Ethnocultural Action Framework (EAF) is Correctional Service Canada’s (CSC) national approach to addressing the needs of ethnocultural offenders.

CSC employees use the EAF to consider activities, services, and interventions for offenders and their families.

It enhances their capacity to meet the needs of ethnocultural offenders, and respond with:

  • agility
  • inclusivity
  • collaboration
  • cohesion across institutions, regions, and the country
A wheel with the first quadrant that reads Maintain Momentum, the second quadrant, Identify needs, third quadrant, Develop the team and 4th quadrant, make strides.
