Raising awareness about children’s rights
“It is important that we collaborate with different stakeholders for the purpose of communicating the message that takes a collective effort to raise and protect children.”
On May 25, Laerskool Dunnottar held a child protection awareness day about the importance of child safety and children’s rights.
Dunnottar SAPS Sergeant Maropeng Maphaya said as custodians of children they take responsibility to make sure that every child is protected and safe.
Various teams from Gauteng Traffic, EMPD, DEMS and Correctional Services collaborated for the event.
“It is important that we collaborate with different stakeholders to communicate the message that it takes a collective effort to raise and protect children.
“It is not just our department that must be responsible and accountable about children’s rights, but also the community as a whole,” said Maphaya.
