Child Protection

CAPP

The Child Abuse Prevention Programme (CAPP), now operating as part of

provision of continuing professional development (CPD) for school staff,

information sessions for parents and boards of management and

personal safety education for children (the Stay Safe programme) at

primary school level.

CAPP offers a range of services to primary schools that aim to increase

awareness and understanding of child abuse and child protection and the

role and responsibilities of school personnel in that regard.

Requests for in-school support on the implementation of the Stay Safe

programme and the Department of Education and Skills Child Protection
