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 a place where child protection experts and the general public can gather to discuss the central issues in child protection. I like it that it not only provides a friendly and accessible learning platform, but also allows professionals to share experiences and resources. A strong background in child protection paves the way towards efficient actions and positive changes for the future.

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. 

"The Child Hub provides an important gateway to improving knowledge and practice for children at risk of violence. It gives us all a way to share the best knowledge and interventions and to learn from each other about the best ways to make a real difference to the lives of children."

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. 

I found the Child Protection Hub to be a necessary and important tool for professionals and for the general public in receiving and sharing information on child protection. As an interactive mobile site, the Hub enables us access to abundant and up-to-date information in multiple formats (such as textual and audio-visual), and the site also provides a space for the exchange of expertise between members of the community.
