Child Protection Unit

A Child Protection Unit (CPU) is a specialized branch of law enforcement or social services focused on safeguarding children from abuse, neglect, and exploitation. These units investigate cases of child maltreatment, offer support to affected families, and work to ensure children's rights and well-being are protected. CPUs collaborate with schools, healthcare providers, and community organizations to promote awareness and prevention of child abuse. Their goal is to create a safe environment for children, intervening when necessary and providing resources to help families heal and thrive.
