Child Protection means making sure children and young people under the age of 18 are safe from harm which can happen anywhere like neglect, physical harm, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, domestic abuse or online abuse. If a child is being hurt or treated badly, adults, like teachers, nurses, doctors, social workers, and police officers will step in to keep children safe.
All children have the same rights as adults, as well as extra rights. The rights are listed in a document called the UN Convention on The Rights of the Child, or UNCRC.
Children have the right to be protected from violence, abuse, neglect and bad treatment from parents, carers or anyone else. Children have the right to be safe, to go to school, to be listened to and treated fairly.

Teachers, nurses, doctors, social workers, police officers, and youth workers have a duty to work together to help every child grow up happy, healthy and safe.
It means if you ever need help, there are people who will listen and make sure you get what you need in line with Getting it Right For Every Child (GIRFEC). A trusted adult can also help.
We are working together to make Fife a place where every child and young person matters and for all care experienced young people to grow up loved safe and respected in line with The Promise.
