"Doing child protection work is not easy, in fact it is challenging and often not well paid! The Child Hub cannot make child protection work easy (or well paid!) but it can provide resources that will be useful to professionals involved in this demanding work. It is also be a 'place' where professionals can meet others involved in the same work - from their own and neighbouring countries - and share experiences, ideas and aspirations."

Child Protection Hub challenges you to discover and learn. I see it as an opportunity for child protection professionals to work together and create complementary services with a stronger impact on child welfare. 

Often, professionals who provide direct services to children, see a gap between theory and practice: ‘How can we apply the attachment theory to the particular case of a 12-year-old boy with challenging behaviour?’ Without having the ambition to redesign university programmes, childhub.org connects theory, research and practice by offering self-study materials in plain language. The broad scope of resources which vary in length, format and topic cover psychological, social, legal and medical issues related to child protection services.

Child Protection Hub- the space that fosters professional connections, updated information, and further learning opportunities. It helps me to learn about the latest news on child protection issues. A useful site to navigate!

Child Hub is easy to use, and spending time in the Active Learning section is well worth the effort. Interactive tools, opportunities to join live webinars and listen to the recordings of the past ones, as well as using self-study materials and courses which you can enjoy at your own rhythm and comfort of your own home are very effective and attractive. 

The Child Hub works! This was my impression when I first used it to consult with colleagues from the region involved in the same research project on issues of human capacities in child protection services. It feels like the hub was designed with me, my colleagues and our needs in mind. What we all can contribute to it, will add high value and will be extremely beneficial to the work of everyone.
