A groundbreaking partnership is uniting schools and social services to curb child abuse.
The Calgary Catholic School District and the Sheldon Kennedy Child Advocacy Centre are signing a memorandum of understanding Wednesday evening to formalize their collaboration.
The centre is a non-profit organization focused on ending child abuse and helping those affected.
“In the majority of cases we see, children are being hurt by their parents or caregivers, so the safest place for them, a lot of times, is in schools,” said centre founder Sheldon Kennedy.
