Labour and Welfare

The Labour and Welfare Bureau in Hong Kong, headed by Secretary for Labour and Welfare Chris Sun Yuk-han, is currently involved in high-profile child welfare cases. Recent news highlights the bureau's involvement in the care of baby Danny, where a three-year guardianship order may be shortened based on the child's best interests and professional assessments. Additionally, the bureau is navigating a complex situation involving parents refusing a DNA test for their baby's birth certificate, citing privacy concerns. Secretary Sun has stated that authorities will "strive to meet" the family's needs while addressing the legal identity issue. These cases underscore the bureau's critical role in safeguarding children's well-being and resolving sensitive family matters within Hong Kong's social welfare system.
