CHILDREN’S CONFERENCE 2011: FROM TRAUMA TO TENACITY: HELPING CHILDREN IN NEED OF CARE OR PROTECTION
1 Good morning and welcome to the Children’s Conference 2011.
2 I am sure we all agree that “Every child deserves a life free of violence and abuse”.
3 Today’s conference theme, “From Trauma to Tenacity: Helping Children In Need of Care or Protection” is apt. As professionals, our duty is to ensure that individually, we have the right skills and that collectively we have the appropriate systems and processes in place to support and protect children at risk. This conference is an important step in that direction.
Assumption Pathway School
Had an excellent visit to this wonderful school. Without schools like APS and Northlight, many students who had difficulty coping with conventional academic subjects would have struggled and considered dropping out.
However, this combination of dedicated passionate staff, a specially tailored programme designed to equip students with practical skills that will enable them to find good jobs and strong community support really works.
We will have to continue investing in this model.
