Department of Social Development and Welfare Partners with Haitian Radio Stations to Promote Child Safeguarding Awareness

Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands,  September 4, 2024 – The Department of Social Development and Welfare is pleased to announce that it recently conducted a series of radio interviews on popular Haitian stations in the Turks and Caicos Islands. This initiative highlights their ongoing commitment to working closely with the Haitian community and other diverse communities throughout the islands to provide essential education and information on child safeguarding.

In addition to disseminating critical information, the interviews were also designed to pave the way for stronger working relationships, break down barriers, and build trust within the Haitian community.

This initiative marks a significant milestone as the first of its kind, demonstrating the Department of Social Development and Welfare dedication to engaging with all communities on issues of child safeguarding.  While this series of interviews is a significant achievement, it is only the beginning.  The Department of Social Development and Welfare remains steadfast in its commitment to safeguarding children and will continue to explore innovative ways to engage and educate the public on this alarming issue.  Guided by the slogan “No Community Left Behind: Each One, Teach One, One Community at a Time,” we are dedicated to ensuring that every community is actively engaged and well-informed about child safeguarding.

We extend our sincere thanks to the Haitian radio stations for their invaluable partnership and look forward to continued collaboration in our shared mission to safeguard the children of our community.
