The Child Care and Protection Agency (CPA) has established community groups in the Timehri, Yarrowkabra and Kuru Kuru, communities along the Linden/Soesdyke Highway.
According to a Government Information Agency (GINA) press release, this is part of efforts to establish partnerships at the grassroots level to prevent child abuse and promote child well-being.
Director of the CPA, Ann Greene, pointed out that the agency is working in several communities, but the groups are being piloted in the three aforementioned areas before moving on to other communities, the release stated.
