Every child and young person should know their rights – and know where to turn for help.
To promote the rights of children and young people and improve safe access to protection services through age-appropriate awareness, trained adult response and verified referral pathways.
Children and young people may face violence, exploitation, neglect, child marriage, trafficking, recruitment, family separation, online harm or discrimination. Awareness is not enough if safe, trusted referral options are unavailable or if disclosures are handled poorly.
C4P supports rights education and works with qualified protection actors, schools, social services and community organisations to establish or strengthen safe referral pathways. C4P provides specialist case management or legal services only where it has the authorisation, trained staff and capacity.
Referral quality is a core outcome: who receives a concern, how urgent risk is handled, what consent and confidentiality rules apply, and how follow-up occurs without exposing the child or young person to additional harm.
Children and young people at risk, caregivers, teachers, community organisations and frontline adults.
