PETALING JAYA: Community-based initiatives via an integration between local authorities, state assemblies and MP service centres can help children in vulnerable situations especially if they are being abused. Community leaders can help too, says Tan Sri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil.
The Umno Women and Family Affairs Council chairman said such approaches were useful and important, but they required proper planning before they could be rolled out.
“We also need to ensure potential perpetrators do not get access to these vulnerable children; as such, it is important to have a screening system in place to identify the good ones to be the community contact person,” she told The Star recently. In 2007, during Shahrizat’s tenure as Women Family Community Development Minister, the Talian Kasih hotline was launched as an early intervention for victims of abuse, domestic violence and natural disasters.
“That requires seamless inter-agency collaboration and mechanisms to hold these agencies accountable for the cases that come to them,” she added. In the current context, she said the Social Workers Bill, which will allow recognition of the social work profession through registration and certification of practice, must be passed in Parliament.
