Hi Pinky, When we say about Safeguarding, in simple terms, those are the rules and regulations that the schools or colleges made for smooth functioning. For Example:- Anti Ragging/ Anti Bullying Rules, protection against Child Sex Abuse, etc. Child Protection is a term that you use to describe someone who may be vulnerable to harm. For example:- If a child has been repeatedly a victim of bullying or ragging in school then we need to protect that child or group of children

UNICEF uses the term ‘child protection’ to refer to preventing and responding to violence, exploitation and abuse against children – including commercial sexual exploitation, trafficking, child labour and harmful traditional practices, such as female genital mutilation/cutting and child marriage. UNICEF’s child protection programmes also target children who are uniquely vulnerable to these abuses, such as when living without parental care, in conflict with the law and in armed conflict. Violations of the child’s right to protection take place in every country and are massive, under-recognized and under-reported barriers to child survival and development, in addition to being human rights violations. Children subjected to violence, exploitation, abuse and neglect are at risk of death, poor physical and mental health, HIV/AIDS infection, educational problems, displacement, homelessness, vagrancy and poor parenting skills later in life.
