Child Protection

Child Protection is a subject that must be both taken seriously and prioritised by those who come into contact with children regularly in any capacity. Recent studies suggest that while the statistical probability of a child being neglected or abused is relatively low, mistreatment remains rife in today’s society. Child Protection is a collective responsibility, shared by each and every individual who works with children, or comes into close content with them on a regular basis. From teachers to educational support staff to nurses to carers, Child Protection is only effective when everyone plays their part. Every child has the right to a safe, nurturing and supportive upbringing, without the threat or fear of any form of physical or emotional abuse.
