National Child Protective Policy

Fecha

This Policy framework was developed to close the gaps between protective, intention and actual support for children in Antigua and Barbuda. The identification of children at risk and the verification and measurement of the effectiveness of the interventions provided are essential elements that help to inform decisions around policy and practice. Improved data collection and monitoring systems, including confidential protocols to facilitate the establishment and utilization of coordinated information – and statutory responsibilities such as mandatory reporting – will facilitate this process and ultimately result in improving outcomes for children and families.

Objetivo general

It is designed to strengthen the existing systems that nurture and protect the children of Antigua and Barbuda.
