CSD holds second Rehabilitation Partners Award Scheme Award Presentation Ceremony to commend organisations and individuals for supporting rehabilitation
The Correctional Services Department (CSD) today (June 17) held the second Rehabilitation Partners Award Scheme Award Presentation Ceremony to commend 187 non-governmental organisations, charitable institutions, commercial organisations, post-secondary institutions and persons supporting rehabilitation services in recognition of their active support for persons in custody and rehabilitated persons over the past two years, while encouraging various sectors of society to actively participate in this scheme as Rehabilitation Partners and support rehabilitation services. The Deputy Chief Secretary for Administration, Mr Cheuk Wing-hing; the Secretary for Security, Mr Tang Ping-keung; and the Commissioner of Correctional Services, Mr Wong Kwok-hing, officiated at the ceremony.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr Cheuk said that the Rehabilitation Partners Award Scheme has been consolidating resources from various sectors of society and working with its partners to support rehabilitated persons to start anew, with a view to helping them transform their lives and contribute to building a better society. This scheme deserves high recognition and commendation.
He expressed appreciation for the awardees' full and long-standing support for the CSD's rehabilitation services, and their collaboration with the department in providing persons in custody with holistic rehabilitation services. These services include thematic group counselling sessions, interest classes, religious services, visits by different visitors, and following up on housing, employment, education and family issues of some rehabilitated persons. These acts of support and encouragement are vital for rehabilitated persons' reintegration into society.
Mr Cheuk expressed the hope that different sectors of society will continue to work closely and unite with the CSD, with a view to serving as a beacon for these rehabilitated persons and building a more stable, harmonious and better society together.
The Rehabilitation Partners Award Scheme gives recognition to organisations and individuals who have been supporting rehabilitation services as well as promoting community engagement in rehabilitation services. The scheme comprises three categories, namely employment, rehabilitation service and donation. It was announced that a total of 36 awardees and 151 awardees were presented with Outstanding Rehabilitation Partners and Rehabilitation Partners respectively today in recognition of their contributions in their respective categories over the past two years.
The awardees may display the Outstanding Rehabilitation Partner or Rehabilitation Partner logos in their offices, and on their websites, business cards, etc.
The CSD has been working closely with Rehabilitation Partners to provide holistic and appropriate rehabilitation services for persons in custody and rehabilitated persons, so that after their release they will become law-abiding citizens who love the country and Hong Kong. The CSD appeals to various sectors of society to continue to support and participate in rehabilitation services, with a view to building a safer and more inclusive society.
