Minister of Human Services and Social Security, Dr. Vindhya Persaud, engages the officers of Childcare and Protection Agency
The Director reckoned with much certainty that the childcare officers were the hardest social workers and was met with an arousing round of applause.
Greene, who has over 50 years in the public service pointed out that having certificates does not make you qualified but rather the experience and passion. She admitted that improvements are always needed and officers should be cognizant of their responsibilities to the child.
She urged them to be solutions-based and results oriented with planning and time management key pillars of their modus operandi.
Presentations, strategies and data came from each region, the Family Court Unit, Early Childhood Development Unit, Adoption, Foster Care and Family Support Services Units.
Manager of Childhood Development, Comcheeta Gray stated that her issues were addressed by the honorable Minister. Gray said, “I think the Minister is very much into early childhood and yes I think our issues and concerns were resolved.”
Kaycina Jadrine, Manager of Adoption Services said, “the interaction with the honorable Minister, Dr. Vindhya Persaud was an excellent one. We believe that is a forum where officers can contact the Minister directly and properly engage her and she is clearer on some of the issues we have at the Child Care and Protection Agency and we have already started to come up with ideas and initiatives on how we can better improve our services so I believe this is a great one.” (Ministry of Human Services and Social Security Press Release)
