A Child Protection Plan is a CARE PLAN.

A Child Protection Plan should:

• assess the likelihood of the child suffering harm and look at ways that the child can be protected;
• decide upon short and long term aims to reduce the likelihood of harm to the child and to protect the child’s welfare;
• clarify people’s responsibilities and actions to be taken; and
• outline ways of monitoring and evaluating progress.

For further information on Child Protection Plans, see the Children's Legal Centre website.
