In order to equip our teachers with a better understanding of the diverse issues in domestic violence and child sexual abuse, the school held a seminar on “Child Abuse Prevention” on 28 October, 2022, inviting Ms. Lei Weng Ian, a representative of the Directorate of Macao SAR Government Judiciary Police (PJ) to the school to explain the general ideas of domestic violence and child sexual abuse, and also to introduce relative legal legislations about sexual abuse of children and the Domestic Violence Law in Macau.

By sharing actual cases, Ms. Lei introduced and explained to frontline teachers the skills that are needed when communicating and helping students who may be involved in domestic violence or child sexual abuse situations. The seminar is beneficial in raising the teachers’ awareness and helping them to accurately respond in case students are involved in such incidents.
