Working internationally and concerned about child protection? GCPS can help...
Protection issues
Children worldwide are at great risk of violence, abuse and exploitation and many experience harm on a daily basis, often with tragic consequences. It is crucial that agencies in contact with children identify protection risks and issues and do what they can to minimise these through quality programmes. Staff and others can also pose a risk to children, so agencies have a responsibility to keep children safe and do no harm in working with children.
Support for agencies
GCPS provides a comprehensive range of supports and services to organisations working internationally in development and emergencies contexts. GCPS can help review, evaluate and improve child protection programming and to develop or strengthen internal safeguardinging measures to keep children safe from harm.
