EVERY CHILD MATTERS IN THE CARRIBEAN FUN DAY KINGSTON
NETWORKING AND SOCIALISING KINGSTON
‘Every Child Matters (ECM) is a UK government
initiative for England and Wales, that was launched
in 2003, at least partly in response to the death of
Victoria Climbié. It is one of the most important
policy initiatives and development programmes in
relation to children and children's services of the
last decade, and has been described as a "sea
change" to the children and families agenda. It has
been the title of three UK government papers, lead-
ing to the Children Act 2004. Every Child Matters
covers children and young adults up to the age of
19, or 24 for those with disabilities’
In honoring the life of Mrs. Beatrice Anne Welcome-
Billy, who was my mother and was affectionately
known as ‘Mummy BB’ and was fundamental in my
becoming a Child Protection Practitioner in the caring
profession of Social Work.
We are hosting this event in the continued recognition
and awareness of the ‘safeguarding’ of children and
that we as professionals ensure we work together to
plan, safeguard and promote the welfare of children
and young people.in their families throughout the
Caribbean. .
Every Child Matters in the Caribbean
We will provide an opportunity for Social
Workers, Foster Carers and for Professionals working in
the safeguarding of children from
throughout the Caribbean to be provided with multidisci-
plinary approaches and best practice guidance on enhanc-
ing multi-agency partnerships and improving
child protection provisions and services in the Caribbean.
With a commitment of working together with innovative
practitioners and policy makers to making a safe environ-
ment for children in order to offer support, guidance and
information to young people and children whom will be
our future professionals, workforce and parents.
