What is Safeguarding & Child Protection?
Safeguarding is a preventative approach to child protection by minimising or eliminating harm to a child
Child protection is a reactive approach to address suspected or known cases of abuse and neglect

The Sad Truth about Abuse and Neglect
Sadly, child abuse and neglect often happen within relationships of trust. It can happen anywhere — at home, in the community or in organisations — and regardless of a child’s age, gender, race, or ability. The perpetrators can be adults or even other children, and they’re usually someone the child knows and trusts.
Keeping our children safe isn’t a job for ‘someone else’ – it’s down to every single one of us… we all have a role to play, and the time to act is now.
