The Children’s Authority of Trinidad and Tobago says the Cyril Ross Children’s Home in Tunapuna was unable to maintain licensing requirements despite its attempts to comply. However, the authority has signalled its willingness to work with the Society of St Vincent de Paul in the future.
On December 31, the El Dorado Road, Tunapuna home for displaced children living with HIV and AIDS, which had been in existence since 1994, permanently closed its doors.
President of the society, Nigel Phillips, blamed licence delays for the closure. He explained that after using funds allocated by the Office of the Prime Minister to upgrade the facility, further requirements meant the society had to dip into its own pockets, which was no longer feasible.
