What We Do:

 

 

We provide independent, internationally relevant research and foster dialogue to improve child protection systems. Within this context we do two kinds of research:

 

  • 1. Critical comparison and analysis of child protection developments in legislation, policy and systems.

 

  • Primary research in areas of identified priority or gaps.
