Frequently asked questions
Child protection refers to the actions and systems designed to prevent and respond to abuse, neglect, exploitation, and violence affecting children. It ensures their safety, well-being, and rights are upheld in all environments.
The 5 R’s are Recognise, Respond, Report, Record, and Refer—a framework guiding individuals to identify concerns, act appropriately, document incidents, and escalate them to the right authorities.
The 4 C’s—Content, Contact, Conduct, and Commerce—categorise online risks children face, such as harmful material, unsafe interactions, inappropriate behaviour, and exploitative commercial practices.
Children are vulnerable and still developing physically and emotionally, making them more susceptible to harm. Protection ensures they grow in safe environments that support their health, learning, and emotional resilience.
We can protect children by creating nurturing relationships, educating them about safety, monitoring their environments, and reporting any concerns. Everyone—parents, schools, communities—has a role in safeguarding children.
We’re protective of children because they rely on adults for safety and care, and their well-being shapes the future of society. Ensuring their protection is both a moral and legal responsibility rooted in empathy and human rights.
