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.
