So, when people say, oh \u2018Welfare not doing anything because I made a report and nothing is being done,\u2019 but in truth and in fact, we are doing our part, so we protect the child. In terms of arrest, taking the matter to court&#8211;that is for the police to do, \u201c She explained.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign aims to provide transparency to persons who may be misguided in terms of the Department of Social Services\u2019 role where such cases are concerned. Steadman underlined the department\u2019s responsibility to the well-being of children as per their circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>According to her, persons misconstrue the purpose of family separation, often reacting negatively to the Social Services&#8217; unfortunate decisions. \u201cWe\u2019re not about taking children, if a child was removed from a home it&#8217;s because there was a real need to remove that child. Our goal is to unite families, to ensure that families stay together, but sometimes if you remove a child is not because you want to remove a child,\u201d she stated frankly.<\/p>\n<p>Social Services not only protects the rights and well-being of children and the vulnerable but also that of migrants, hence the IOM\u2019s involvement in this project. During the official launching of the communication campaign on Thursday, June 13, the Project Director at the IOM Vynliz Dailey made clear her organization\u2019s commitment to ensuring that \u201cnobody is left behind\u201d. The project which started in February 2023 further targets the safety and confidence of migrants. She revealed that the project expects to implement, \u201ca migrant outreach, to ensure they are aware of national services, and to break down potential language and cultural barriers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Acknowledging the gravity of Social Service and protection, Dailey stressed the importance of collaboration for the execution of this project. \u201cWe recognize that no single entity can address the complex issues of social protection alone. It requires the combined efforts of government, civil society, international organizations, and the private sector. These<br \/>\npartnerships bring together diverse perspectives, resources, and expertise, enabling us to create more comprehensive and effective solutions,\u201d\u00a0 she stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy working together, we can leverage our collective strengths and ensure that our efforts have a ripple, positive effect. Indeed, awareness plus action equals to change. This equation underscores the power of informed and collaborative efforts in driving meaningful progress,\u201d Dailey continued.<\/p>\n<p>The project activities will include the conduction of comprehensive assessment of the national Social Service system, the establishment of standard operating procedures (SOPs) for streamlining existing services to enhance the efficiency of relevant government departments, continued SOPs training, a gender-sensitive protection attentive mapping of local communities, a national information campaign and capacity-building facilitation. The national information campaign aims to raise awareness on issues such as gender-based violence, abuse, and exploitation of children and adults (including the elderly), in both migrant and host communities. The campaign, moreover, seeks to educate persons on the newly administered pieces of legislation surrounding social services. The public is encouraged to pay attention to information soon to be in circulation for educational and awareness purposes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In an effort to eliminate
