The Children’s Authority extends its sincere thanks to the Archdiocese Family Life Commission for the opportunity to participate in their VIRTUS – Protecting God’s Children seminar series over the past few weeks.
Through this initiative, the Authority engaged with teachers and school administrators across south Trinidad, including communities such as Siparia, Erin, Penal, Point Fortin and La Brea, sharing important information on child protection and promoting greater awareness of our collective responsibility to safeguard children.
We look forward to continued collaboration as we work together to ensure the safety and well-being of all our nation’s children. ... See MoreSee Less
