Seminar on adoption of children with special needs
The Social Welfare Department is to hold a seminar to enhance the public awareness and support of children with special needs awaiting adoption.
The one-day seminar, organised by the department's adoption unit, will be held at Marina Rooms, Excelsior Hotel, at 9 am on Friday (February 17), a spokesman for the department said today (Monday).
Some 130 participants, including adoptive parents and front-line workers in child welfare service, will attend the seminar entitled "How can we serve them?"
"The seminar will provide a valuable opportunity for experts in the adoption field to share their views and experiences," the spokesman said.
Officiating at the opening ceremony of the seminar will be the Director of Social Welfare, Mr Ian Strachan.
Other speakers, including local and overseas professionals, will address the seminar on various topics including an overview of service provision for children with special needs, medical help for such children, taking care of and finding homes for them, preparation of foster and adoptive families for the care of such children and experience in adopting a child with special needs.
