Over 4,300 children and youth under the age of 21 in Hong Kong require residential child care services due to special family circumstances.
PolyU is thrilled to help drive the Jockey Club Project Bonfire, leveraging our academic expertise to ignite hope for these children on their journey of growth. 🔥✨ The Department of Applied Social Sciences (APSS) at PolyU, in partnership with The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, recently hosted a graduation ceremony for 15 Trajectory Development Managers and 67 House Parents to celebrate their successful completion of an evidence-based professional training curriculum designed by PolyU. 🎓
We were honored to have Ms. Wendy Chau, Assistant Director of the Social Welfare Department, officiated the ceremony. Prof. Eric Chui, Chair Professor and Head of APSS at PolyU, emphasised in his speech that collaboration between academic research and frontline services is key to elevating the quality of residential child care service. These graduating practitioners are now fully equipped to translate knowledge into empowerment, standing as the strongest pillars of support for children in care.
Our heartfelt thanks go out to every participant for their dedication. Let’s continue to walk hand-in-hand, supporting the holistic development of our children with professionalism and care.
