On May 7th, our Chief Executive participated in a roundtable discussion on the "Mandatory reporting of child abuse mechanism legislation". As an organization that serves rehabilitated persons, their families, and disadvantage groups, we support mandatory reporting and approach the issue of child abuse from various perspectives, including the importance of promoting offender rehabilitation and family values restructuring, advocating for the prevention of repeat offenses through the study of crime causes, and rebuilding healthy families from the perspective and needs of children. These initiatives have been less mentioned in the legislative drafting process, but they are important considerations and supportive measures. We appreciate the invitation from the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children and look forward to working closely with all stakeholders to enable children to voice their needs and feelings and establish a comfortable and inclusive community.
