Child Protection is about creating safe environments and preventing children from experiencing any form of harm, exploitation abuse and neglect. In that regard the public is requested to sign and commit to the declarations below:

I Commit to:

• Always create a safe environment for children in my family, community and country by observing all Principles spelt out in the Children’s Protection and Welfare Act.
• Identify, prevent and respond to safeguarding risks that may harm children and young people.
• Listen to children and young people on what a safe environment means for them in relation with their peers, parents and caregivers as well as in their day-to-day lives within their families and communities.
• Emphasise that neglect and abuse are unacceptable.
• Create awareness about violence, abuse, exploitation and neglect, and advocate that people stand up when they witness them.
• Report all safety concerns to the police and relevant institutions.
• Report any form of harm, exploitation and abuse to children and young people.
• Gather information about community resources such as local advocacy groups, community and faith groups, or organised children’s activities which could support the child and youth safeguarding work.
