Following the success of the Second Children’s Issues Forum held in 2012, this two day international multi-disciplinary, collaborative forum brings together members of the local and overseas judiciary and legal profession, government officials from Hong Kong and overseas, health care and child protection professionals, and community and non-profit organizations to consider important issues relating to the welfare, well-being and safety of Hong Kong children. A key focus of the Third Children’s Issues Forum is practices around the world that promote the best interests of children and allow their voices to be effectively heard and considered.
Day 1 of the Forum considers recent legislative and judicial developments in Hong Kong including the proposed Children’s Bill and the international approach and perspective to similar legislation in other jurisdictions.
Day 2 of the Forum starts off with focus on specific issues affecting children including a review of the Children’s Dispute Resolution Process and representing children’s perspectives. In the afternoon, the Forum will focus on frontline experience with child poverty, leading to a review of data and policy opportunities in Hong Kong and internationally.
