As of 23 March, Ilona Hommik started as a child protection specialist in Valga Municipality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ilona Hommik holds a Bachelor of Social Work and Rehabilitation Management from P\u00e4rnu College of the University of Tartu and is currently studying Social Protection at Tallinn University, specialising in child protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Working in the social field, she has been involved with children and supporting their well-being. Her previous work experience includes the Kurepesa Family Centre in Valga, where she contributed to children's well-being and a safe environment. In addition, she has gained experience in teaching and guiding children in the coping learning programme at the Maarjamaa State School in Valga Jaanikese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These experiences have given her a multi-faceted understanding of the needs of children and young people in different settings and have supported her ability to recognise both the need and the strengths of the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eIn my work, I believe it is important to build a trusting and honest relationship, to notice the child and to understand their individual needs. Every child needs a safe and supportive adult to help them develop and move forward in life. I also believe it is important to work together with different parties to provide the best possible support for the child and the family,\u201c Ilona says, describing her working principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
