In the last quarter we've continued to help many children and families obtain their birth certificates. Involved in this process we’ve been working with rural Child Protection Committees (CPCs) to ensure that they are able to support new cases of access to documentation as they come to their attention. We’ve noted in the past that CPCs have at times been little more than a willing ear to listen to the challenges of the communities they serve. Whilst is important to be listened to, we’re happy to let you know that through our work with CPCs community members now tell us that the CPCs are far better informed, giving advice, passing useful information on about where to go, what the process is and what kinds of evidence is needed. This has greatly helped many people in preparing their cases properly instead of arriving at Registry Offices only to be turned away.
We’re also happy to be offering on-going support via our office drop in where we’ve supported several cases recently and have even represented some with legal support. For so many their cases are complex and their vulnerable status leaves them unable to resolve issues which hold them back. We’re here to help remove the barriers they face, giving them a chance at a full life.
Thanks to all our donors for your marvellous support!
