Protecting children from ill-treatment, abuse, neglect, deprivation, and ensuring that they have the care and protection they need to keep them safe from harm is a large part of the work of we do.
Anybody – a relative, neighbour, friend or simply someone who knows of a child at risk – can report a case of ill treatment or neglect of a child to a social worker or to the Police. All these reports must be investigated. Each year Child, Youth and Family investigates more than 25,000 reports of suspected child abuse and neglect.
