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 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. 

I highly appreciate the initiative to “store” on a website so many useful resources of great quality. I manage to get informed about issues that directly interest me, but also to learn about totally new subjects. It is very important for me that ChildHub offers the opportunity to interact with professionals from other countries in the region, but also from Moldova, and to share the experience we have. The webinars are an accessible and attractive way to learn from experienced experts from around the world. And the training of trainers that I attended was a unique opportunity to meet professionals from this region and to involve in an exchange of experiences that helps to solve common problems.

"The Child Protection Hub is an open space for everyone working towards the full realization of children's rights. It is a smart combination of virtual and real life learning and exchange. Here, Child Protection professionals can interact among themselves and with international experts, access various practical and theoretical materials. The contribution of every professional is important for the development of our hub. "

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.
