More training on monitoring and evaluation practices could have helped. More general PiF training on the use of the manual could have also helped in the spread of knowledge to the other pesantrens teachers, local leaders, parents, and perhaps the entire community. Perhaps, education was the key element that was lacking and not training. Maybe, Equitas could have developed a strong message on the importance of children’s rights and human rights values. Lastly, PiF Montreal program documents and shares its experience and knowledge to its local partners consistently. This practice has helped PiF Montreal to foster a strong relationship with its partners. The teachers involved with PiF Jakarta did not fully document the progress of PiF Jakarta because they probably did not have time to do it and did not see the need for it. In fact, in a study in 2013 conducted by Equitas, evaluation of the PiF program was seen as a service Equitas offers to its local partners, rather than the local partner’s responsibility. there was a need for proactive partnership in which PiF officers assist local partners to discuss and define metrics that would be valuable to report

Canada, 1999, para. 73). The Court upholds that for a decision on an H&C application to be reasonable it “requires close attention to the interests and needs of the children.

Several organisations have been set up to assist or care for children who are primarily vulnerable; the trustees are responsible for ensuring that those benefitting from, or working with, are not abused in any way through contacts with it; they have a legal duty to act cautiously and this means that they must take all realistic steps within their power to ensure that this does not happen. It is particularly important where recipients are vulnerable children in the community; trustees are expected to find out what the relevant law is, how it applies to their organisation, and to comply with it where applicable, they should also adopt best practice as far as possible.

Listening to children The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child shows a child’s right to his or her own views in all matters and the right to the freedom of expression.

The problem with multi-agency work partnership is that because of the huge volume of incidents and the demand for response puts a lot of pressure and responsibility on those organisations, therefore some cases go unnoticed, information sharing isn’t effective and there is a lack of professional curiosity. However as the Government is leading work to make improvements across every area of the child protection system. From targeted recruitment and retention of high calibre social workers into children’s social care, to improved multi-agency approaches to early prevention and detection of abuse. As a result of this reform programme and the tireless efforts of practitioners we can see some truly fantastic child protection work happening across the country and will continue to introduce improvements that we expect will bring real benefits to children, but we must not be complacent and will always consider what more can be done. There have been too many cases over recent years that have highlighted serious failings to protect children.
