Why this summit?
Child safeguarding is the responsibility that all organisations have to do no harm to children through their staff, operations and programmes, and that any concern about the safety of a child is reported to the appropriate authorities. This means all organisations must have robust prevention and response mechanisms to violence against children in line with the International Child Safeguarding Standards.
While all National Child Protection Systems, namely the state authorities represented by law enforcement, judicial authorities, immigration authorities, social services, child protection agencies and more, are trusted to form a protective and empowering environment for all children, evidence shows that sexual, physical and emotional abuse of children, negligent treatment, exploitation, trafficking, child labour and other forms of child abuse are being perpetrated or facilitated by or within them.
Effective protection of children can only exist if robust safeguarding policies and procedures in line with the International Child Safeguarding Standards are implemented in every organisation in National Child Protection Systems. This is why child safeguarding needs to be at the heart of the system.
