We remain an independent organisation that has strengthened its capacity to respond to grass roots needs. The Foundation has begun to influence safeguarding policies and procedures, through its advisory work with statutory agencies and professional networks.We continue to campaign for the implementation of child protection reforms at operational level and welcome the recent actions taken by the government in response to an earlier request by the Foundation for a review of the child protection system.
The Foundation has developed its capacity through reorganisation and restructuring, and has sought the necessary funding to continue its link work with children and families to raise child protection awareness in the context of religion or culture within the legal framework of this country. We continue to rely on the goodwill and commitment of independent specialists and volunteers to support our policy efforts and maintain our search for funding to sustain this aspect of our work.The Foundation’s strength is in its ability to engage at all levels from an independent perspective; within the community, with policy makers and service delivery professionals.
The challenge going forward is to continue the work to bridge the gap that still regrettably exists between statutory agencies, care services, BME communities, and to deliver improvements to the child protection system at operational level.
