The Child-Safe Organisations training programme and toolkit, published by ECPAT, provides a framework for the development and practical application of child protection policies within local organisations that work with and for children. The training especially targets grassroots and local organisations which may not have the benefit of policy departments and in-house child protection specialists.

The specific aim of the training is to encourage organisations to look within their own organisations and to assess for themselves what they can do to ensure their organisations uphold best practice in child protection.

This is not a child protection procedures manual. It is about minimising and eliminating harm against children, rather than about providing training on children’s rights.
