KUALA LUMPUR: The new Child Development Department will complement the Child Protection Team and Child Welfare Team formed under the Child Act 2001 in some 105 districts across the country, says Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri.
The Women, Family and Community Development Minister said the Child Development Department replaced the Children’s Section under the Social Welfare Department effective Sept 1.
“This ensures the department provides effective and professional service to better protect children’s safety and welfare. Announced under Budget 2023 by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, also the Finance Minister, on Feb 24, it is the best solution to tackle child abuse issues which had been rampant of late, said Nancy.
When asked about the Social Welfare Department’s recent findings that 2,959 child abuse cases had been reported between January and May this year, Nancy said the number was high because more people are confident in seeking out the department’s child protection services.“We want to teach children their rights and educate parents and adults around them what they can and can’t do against them,” she said during the Child Protection Advocacy Programme: Kasih Kanak-Kanak Kuala Lumpur.
