Child Protection Week

4th - 10th September 2023

UN Rights of the Child Handout.png

In 1989, something incredible happened...world leaders came together and made a historic commitment to the world’s children. They made a promise to every child to protect and fulfil their rights via the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). 

 

This legally binding international instrument was ratified in Aotearoa on 6th April 1993 and included children’s rights to be safe and protected from harm and abuse. Yet, as we internationally acknowledge National Child Protection Week 2023, New Zealand continues to have some of the worst global child vulnerability, maltreatment and abuse statistics.

 

Child vulnerability and abuse risks are predominately thought of as relating to a child’s personal environment. However, these risks can also occur from within organisations, and no part of the children's workforce has been immune from having case examples.

Safeguarding Children is Everyone's Responsibility

Every person, in every physical and online environment, is encouraged to advocate for all children to be safe from harm and to play their part in helping to protect a child they believe may be suffering or at risk of suffering harm.
