We all have a part to play in preventing domestic violence. By paying closer attention to those around us, we can recognise concerns early and encourage people to seek support before things get worse.

For Rachpal, a volunteer Domestic Violence Awareness Trainer, she believes that domestic violence is no private matter.

Celebrating Mrs Mildred Tan, our Lifetime Achievement Award winner 🌟

At the MSF Volunteer and Partner Awards 2026, we looked back on the lasting difference she has made over 25 years of service (and counting)! Through championing family-friendly workplaces, curbing problem gambling and advancing women’s representation, she has built up programmes and frameworks that continue to guide organisations today.

Thank you, Mrs Tan, for embodying how better starts with each of us.

Every youth should have the chance to move forward. That’s why prevention and rehabilitation for youth offenders matter: stepping in early when risks show up.

As youth offending trends change, we’re looking at where support needs to change with them too.

Swipe for the TL;DR on MSF’s Supporting Youth Rehabilitation Trends Report 2026 and see how we’re working with partners to help more youths stay on track.

Yesterday, I shared that the recommendations of the Taskforce on Assurance for Families with Persons with Disabilities – today, let me go into more detail on how we will strengthen support for persons with disabilities across life stages!

Over the past few months, I've had the privilege of sitting down with persons with disabilities and their families, and listening to them share their hopes and everyday realities.

Together with insights from partners such as SPED schools, employers and disability service agencies, these conversations have shaped the Taskforce’s report. It sets out how we can better journey with families as they plan ahead, grow in their work, and live well in the community.

This is one step towards a more caring Singapore, which we can all contribute to. I hope you’ll read the report, and share your thoughts with us.

When agencies see a child protection case differently, how is a decision made?

Every child protection case is unique, and protecting a child often requires multiple agencies to work together. Social workers gather information about a family's risks and needs, and with complex cases, differing views can arise. The Triage Assessment Panel provides an independent review so that agencies can move forward confidently, providing timely support with the child's safety at the heart of every decision 💙✨
