Workshop: Preparing a Comprehensive Child Protection Policy | CPS - Preventing harm to children through education and awareness

For most children, New Zealand is a wonderful place to grow up in. Some are not so lucky. Childhood trauma, abuse, and neglect are a fact of life (and sometimes death) for too many of our young people.

Workshop: Preparing a Comprehensive Child Protection Policy

(Half Day)

No organisation involving children today, can risk not having a child protection policy.

Would your organisation be able to stand up to the public scrutiny if something went wrong?

A comprehensive child protection policy provides benefits for all members of your team – from board and trustee level, to front-line workers.
An effective child protection policy is the first step for an organisation to protect its children and itself.
It is part of the process of putting the fence at the top of the cliff.
A child protection policy is more than just a set of guidelines to be followed in reporting abuse
