April 2026 Updates
|
Welcome to the April edition of our newsletter. As we move into the second quarter of the year, our focus remains firmly on the foundational work that ensures our organizations are not only effective but safe and equitable for everyone we serve.
|
This month, we are prioritizing several critical updates regarding our shared responsibilities in Prevent and Safeguarding, the "Quiet Crisis" and some key dates.
