Speaking at Faith and Child Safeguarding 2021
"About creating a healthy youth empowering culture: for me the most important thing is to talk about safeguarding and to normalise it as part of our everyday practice. And to make sure that it is understandable for the children and young people you are working with."

Lumos
Speaking at Faith and Child Safeguarding 2021
"A strong culture of safeguarding is crucial to achieving the elimination of all forms of violence against children. This is true whether we are talking about violence online or offline, and violence against children in all settings. That is why promoting the highest safeguarding standards is a priority.
Violence will continue until child safeguarding is taken seriously at all levels by national governments, local authorities and by organisations in the community working for and with children."
Najat Maalla M’jid
UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) on Violence against Children
