Child protection systems

Child protection systems are organized efforts involving government agencies, social services, schools, and communities dedicated to safeguarding children from harm, abuse, and neglect. They assess risks, provide support to families, intervene when children are at risk, and ensure safe environments. The goal is to promote children's well-being, ensure their rights are upheld, and take appropriate action when a child's safety is compromised. These systems are grounded in laws, policies, and procedures designed to protect children and facilitate their healthy development within supportive environments.
