2nd Child Protection Conference | Working together to safeguard children in Macau: from theory to practice

09

Jun

The Faculty of Health Sciences are hosting the “2nd Child Protection Conference – Working together to safeguard children in Macau: from theory to practice” on 9 – 10 June. Registration is now open!

Childhood is a crucial stage in human development and respecting the “best interest of the child” should be considered a primary social concern (United Nations Convention on the Rights of Children, 1990). Ensuring that children are happy and socially integrated is a precondition to promote social well-being and development. Still, many challenges exist today to the full protection of children, both regionally and globally.

This interdisciplinary two-day conference aims to:

Raise and educate people from all fields (including government officials, professionals, family members, relatives and neighborhoods) on child protection. To create a safe environment for children to grow, learn and play free from abuse.
Enhance the knowledge and competence of social service and other childcare and education related workers in child protection work to enable them to protect the best interests of children in practice.
Let participants fully understand and recognize the importance of implementing child protection policies in social services and other childcare and education related organizations.
