Child Abuse: We Can All Work Against It

This video speaks directly to adults and children with two helpful segments on confronting child abuse. The first emphasizes that adults in supervisory roles have clear responsibilities, not only to overcome fears of reprisal and report suspected abuse, but also to create a safe environment in which children can freely express problems. The reassuring second segment counsels children that they have a right to be safe and protected, and suggests that they identify trustworthy adults to approach if needed. Both segments clearly illustrate the need for communication and the idea that child protection must be a shared goal. (33 minutes)
