Keeping Children Safe

The sad truth is that still, every five minutes, a child dies from violence. Every day, in every country, children are abused, beaten, raped and more. Too often, the abuser is someone the child knows and trusts. They may even work for an organisation that’s meant to help children. A sports club, school, aid organisation or peacekeeping force. But they abuse their power and the child’s trust.

It is our mission to help organisations to develop and implement measures that prevent abuse happening in the first place. And to help grow better global knowledge about child safeguarding, we put on the Keeping Children Safe 2020 Summit.

Learn, share and connect

With over 1,000 participants at the #KCS2020summit – from literally all over the world – we are delighted that we managed to move online, and into a new dimension for sharing child safeguarding knowledge.

As always, the current pandemic is all about adapting and innovating – driving us to redesign the summit agenda from the ground-up to ensure we bring the most pressing industry topics to a global audience. From keeping children safe in sport, understanding the challenges in UN peacekeeping missions, applying child safeguarding to a donkey sanctuary – this event has it all.

It’s not too late to catch-up!

The live summit event might be over, but you can now watch all the recorded presentations and follow-on Q&A sessions on-demand.

Join thousands of others and listen to global child safeguarding practitioners, academics and experts, and get immersed in the latest insights and developments. Find answers to challenges you face. Discover new resources and advice from world-leading child safeguarding experts, activists and professionals working to end child abuse around the world.
