The
Holiday Outing for children from Langa
After
Hours
Child Protection Service was implemented in 2006 and many children have been helped who previously had to wait until the next working day to receive assistance. We want to pay tribute to the volunteers and social workers
After hours services dedicated to the protection of children and who have been brave enough to intervene in respect of some dangerous situations in the middle of the night. The service added value to the organisation’s service delivery as children in need of care and protection could be removed to temporary safe care immediately and therefore it was ensured that the children is not exposed to further abuse until the next working day when social workers are traditionally available. The service was however terminated at the end of March 2013 as The Department of Social Development decided that after hours services need to be performed by the department.
