Today’s four key headlines:
First, in child protection: New safeguarding powers are being proposed to strengthen protection for vulnerable children. The changes aim to improve how concerns are identified and shared,
helping agencies intervene earlier when children may be at risk.
In Lebanon: The country’s continuing crisis is creating opportunities for Christian organisations to reach vulnerable communities with practical support and the message of the Gospel. Churches and aid groups are seeking to bring hope and peace through compassionate service during a difficult time.
