Multi-sectoral child protection and safety dialogue
On Friday 27 June and Monday 30 June 2025, the Standing Committee on Social Development hosted multi-sectoral child protection and safety dialogues.
During the two days of dialogue, key voices from law enforcement, justice, academia, child welfare and civil society came together to have a multi-sectoral discussion on child protection and security. “We owe it to every vulnerable child to do more than just speak. Every child deserves to be safe, seen and protected,” emphasised Kaizer-Philander.
