Child safety legislation

Child safety legislation encompasses laws designed to protect children from harm and ensure their well-being. This includes regulations on topics like child abuse prevention, safe transportation (such as car seat requirements), education about safety, restrictions on harmful products, and standards for childcare facilities. The goal is to create a legal framework that promotes a safe environment for children, supporting families and communities in safeguarding their physical, emotional, and developmental health. These laws are regularly updated to address emerging risks and reflect best practices in child protection.
