A Pledge To Prevent Child Abuse.

I understand that child safety is everyone’s issue, and protecting young people from harm is not just a responsibility, it is a duty and moral imperative.

I affirm that child abuse is preventable and that I have a role to play in ensuring that every child and youth can grow up in a community that’s safe and nurturing.

I hereby pledge to:

EDUCATE myself about the issue of child abuse. I will learn how to recognize signs of abuse and how to respond; and I will continue to stay informed and share my knowledge with others.

Be attentive to signs of child abuse and INTERVENE by ensuring the appropriate authorities are notified so that children are protected and receive the support they need.

Approach every child and family with EMPATHY, recognizing that challenges and stressors may lead to difficult situations, but violence and abuse are never the answer.

Be a positive ROLE MODEL for children and youth by demonstrating kindness, respect, and healthy relationships, and by being an engaged member of the community.

ENGAGE in open and honest conversations with children, youth, parents, caregivers, and teachers about the importance of child safety and well-being.

SUPPORT organizations and initiatives that are dedicated to preventing child abuse, providing resources to children and families impacted by abuse, and promoting healthy caregiver practices.

Hold myself accountable to these commitments and encourage others to do the same, fostering a collective effort to prevent child abuse and keep young people safe.
