Child Protection Policy (CPP): Identity, Importance & Steps for Its Development by Interested Organisations

A training seminar organised by Social Dynamo of the Ίδρυμα Μποδοσάκη in collaboration with the Institute of Child Health, aiming to introduce participants to the concept and purpose of a Child Protection Policy (CPP).

The seminar will explore the importance of having such a written public policy in place within organisations and the practical steps involved in developing one. The ultimate goal of the training is for each participant representing a Civil Society Organisation to be able to develop, in collaboration with colleagues and children themselves, a Child Protection Policy tailored to their organisation.

VOICES PROGRAMME

The “Voicing opposition to domestic, sexual, cyber violence & harmful practices” (VOICES) programme aims to prevent and combat all forms of gender-based violence through supporting civil society organisations (CSOs) in Greece and Cyprus which are active in this field, but also by enhancing their organisational capacity, sustainability and participation in policy-making. VOICES is co-funded by the European Union (90%) through its Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV-2025-DAPHNE) programme, with a 10% contribution from the Bodossaki Foundation, the Marangopoulos Foundation for Human Rights and the NGO Support Centre. The €2.5 million VOICES programme is coordinated by the Bodossaki Foundation (Greece) in partnership with the NGO Support Centre (Cyprus) and the Marangopoulos Foundation for Human Rights.
