Cese Calls for Stronger State Role in Child Protection Amid Institutional Failures

The Council urges a biennial national strategy to address disparities and enhance coordination between the state and departments.

The Cese highlights the need for a unified national strategy to ensure equal child protection services across all regions.
Current protection measures are insufficient, with significant gaps in implementation and a lack of resources for effective intervention.
The number of children requiring protection has surged by 50% over two decades, yet funding and staffing remain inadequate.
Disparities in local services and institutional disorganization are major barriers to effective child protection.
The Cese emphasizes the necessity of revising legal frameworks and improving the working conditions of child protection professionals.
