http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Safe_parks_for_a_better_childhood_(8516527811).jpg The Isibindi programme also creates safe spaces in the local area where children can play and get advice and counselling. The safe park sessions are held three times a week and run by trained Child and Youth Care workers that children can confide in about issues of violence they are facing in their lives. As an Isibindi Child and Youth Care worker explains, “Where drugs and alcohol are involved, violence is often involved. So on a Saturday morning children can come down to the safe park and feel safe. It’s also the time that we as Child and Youth Care Workers identify children in need. This is a place where you can see if a child has been abused. It’s a place where a child can feel free to come and talk to us.” This image is posted under a Creative Commons - Attribution Licence, in accordance with the Open Government Licence.
