I, being the person responsible for child protection on the SELL Team had many questions to ask Tommy after his presentation and he gave me the needed attention. Some of the questions were from the experiences we had while working with teenage young adults. The Child Protection Policy is a new policy that helps in protecting vulnerable children from child abuse.
