The Stronger Safeguarding Together (SST) 2026 conference is a free event for child protection professionals in Hong Kong, focusing on safeguarding and child protection. Targeted at educators, counsellors, social workers, and school leaders, it aims to provide a space for professional learning and engagement.
Building on the success of the 2025 conference, SST 2026 will be a larger, full-day event with workshops and keynote panels. It addresses the crucial and complex work of safeguarding in child-facing organisations, which is becoming more significant with the incoming Mandatory Reporting of Child Abuse Ordinance in Hong Kong. The conference aims to bring together professionals from Hong Kong local and international schools and medical/therapeutic services.
