What we mean by "Child Protection"

Protecting children from the risk of harm is our core mission and what all our members work for, but there’s more to it than the narrow definition of “child protection”. We understand there are a range of factors involved in keeping children safe.

Who we help

We support anyone whose work is involved with protecting children or young people from harm. With backgrounds in social work, paediatrics, nursing, psychology, police, law, education, or research, our members and those we work with come from a wide range of disciplines. We help those who want to meet other like-minded professionals to share research, practice, and knowledge do just that.

The abuse and neglect of children is a huge and growing issue. We exist for those working in and researching child abuse and neglect. We provide access to the latest research, share best practice from the front line, provide affordable advanced practitioner CPD and training, and enable practitioners and researchers to connect as part of a national community working to support children and families.
