Heart of Home – Child Protection Support Service
Service MissionTWGHs Heart of Home- Child Protection Support Service commenced services in March 2025. We are one of the six ChildPRO service teams under subvention from the Social Welfare Department. We aim to enhance the professional support for children affected by abuse and at risk of harm/maltreatment and their families. Following the implementation of ChildPRO by phases, service team receives case referrals from Family and Child Protective Services Units (FCPSUs) in the first phase#.
