Voice of the Children

VoC was incorporated in 2008 as a child advocacy group to address a gap in children’s services. The good work being done by children’s service providers cannot bring about long-term improvements in children’s lives without a change in the policies and laws that affect children. However, many service organizations do not have the time to address policy issues when most of their time is spent trying to meet children’s immediate needs. Advocacy addresses the root causes of problems, leading to longer term, more sustainable benefits for children and their communities. An oft quoted saying is that child service providers are so busy saving drowning babies that they cannot turn around to see who is throwing babies in the river and why. VoC works with organisations that provide direct services to understand the issues “on the ground” in order to research and advocate for long term sustainable changes. We concentrate 100% of our efforts towards the bigger picture of fundamental policy changes and public awareness.
