By their nature, all children are vulnerable and must be protected from abuse. When child abuse occurs, it has lifelong negative consequences that impact physical and emotional health. Victims of child abuse can make them two to three times more likely to attempt suicide.
Safeguarding children protects them from the negative effects of the abuse they face, or can even prevent abuse from exacerbating. It means protecting them from maltreatment and impairment of their development or health. Safeguarding also involves ensuring children grow up in circumstances consistent with the provision of effective and safe care. It means ensuring every child is provided the best chance for a positive future.
