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.

ChildHub provides online content that is of the highest standard. It brings me great joy to have the vast online library ready to access at my fingertips. I believe the multilingualism of the Child Hub content makes it easier for teachers and experts to search for helpful resources in whatever language they feel most comfortable with, and further encourages their participation in the area of child protection. 

It's clear that great effort and care has been put into ensuring the Child Hub interface is attractive, colorful, and inviting. Anyone using the site feels encouraged to reach out to others as communication is simple and straightforward. Perhaps most importantly, Child Hub connects people from many different countries and offers something for everyone. It is constantly being updated and improved, and feedback is welcomed and easy to give. 

"Experts who work in child protection area need a place where they could read professional literature, find good practices of working with children, get inspired to work responsibly and creatively. But, ChildHub is not just a place for that! ChildHub is the place where experts can also meet, exchange expertise, help and motivate each other. This is a true treasure for all the experts in child protection area."

The Child Hub is an essential resource for child protection and empowerment in the Balkans. It offers rich materials and learning opportunities to workers who are far from physical libraries, and creates easier access to experts for those in the field. The site is growing all the time, so one can keep coming back to benefit from this resource.

"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."
