Dialogue. Trust. Action

«The
socially-oriented NGOs have to realize that what the state offers is
entering the market of social services and not the new system of budget
funding allocation”, – according to Sergey Borzov this was the core
motif of the meeting with editors of the leading news portals, business
representatives and government authorities at the Moscow branch of the
All-Russian civil front on the 26-27th October 2015. The meeting was
entitled “Dialogue. Trust. Action” and aimed at development of the
socially-oriented non-government organizations (NGOs). The Programme
director of the Taganka children’s fund (TCF) – Sergey Borzov –
participated in the event by presenting our understanding of the main
challenges for effective implementation of preventive services for
children and families at risk, including lack of legally defined
definitions “factors of abuse risk”, “minimal age-related needs of the
child”, undeveloped system of training and support for socially-oriented
NGOs that provide services to children and families at risk. The
meeting allowed to achieve agreements on participation of the TCF
specialists in training processes for the staff of the department of
guardianship and custody as well as cooperation with the National
foundation for protection of children from abuse in tackling
abovementioned issues.
