Guidance for producing a single-agency Child Protection Policy

This Model Child Protection Policy has been produced in response to demand from a wide range of organisations for assistance in compiling a child protection policy. The aim of the model policy is to provide an example of possible contents and structure of a child protection policy.

However, it is strongly recommended that all agencies go through the process of developing their own policy, which will be specific to their organisation; the people it employs and serves. It is crucial that members of the organisation are involved in forming the policy; are aware of it and have ownership of it.
