A Voice for the Children and Youth
November 10 2025 :
In a continued effort to promote child participation, accountability, and safety, the National OMBUDS conducted its second visit to the different program locations of SOS Children’s Villages Pilipinas. The visit served two essential purposes: (1) to build the capacity of newly elected children, youth, and staff representatives, and (2) to strengthen awareness of the OMBUDS mechanism among caregivers, co-workers, and new personnel in the Villages.
These representatives were nominated and elected by children, young people, and co-workers who will act as bridges between their peers and the OMBUDS Office. Their role is central in ensuring that every child and young person has a trusted avenue to voice their concerns and seek help when needed.
