Protect All Children Today Inc (PACT Inc.) is clearly committed to protecting and advocating for children. PACT Inc. offers a voice to speak up on behalf of those who are most vulnerable in our communities. Each year, PACT Inc. helps hundreds of children and their families as they deal with the consequences of abuse, assaults and neglect. PACT Inc. offers a range of programs aimed at supporting children and their families. PACT Inc. enhances child protection by reducing the trauma experienced by children and young people required to give evidence within the Criminal Justice System. As well as providing child witness support, PACT Inc. is a strong advocate for children’s rights: making representation to Government and other Agencies on behalf of children and young people. PACT Inc’s trained and professional Child Witness Support Volunteers provide children and young people with information about court proceedings; prepare the child for the court process; visit the CCTV/court room with the child prior to the court hearing; support and reassure the child whilst waiting at the court building; and accompany the child whilst they give their evidence. This is a free service, offered in cooperation with the Queensland Police Service, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions and the Department of Justice and Attorney-General. PACT Inc. relies on the generosity of volunteers who give of their time and life skills to help children and young people through what is often a daunting process. PACT Inc. also provides a free counseling service to assist client children/young people and their non-offending family members to deal with stress and trauma related to the incident(s) of abuse, and/or involvement in the Criminal Justice system. If you know of a child or young person facing the prospect of giving evidence in the criminal justice system, give PACT Inc. a call for some information about our free services. |
