In 2024, Child Guardians deepened its commitment to child safeguarding by moving beyond internal compliance toward sector-wide leadership and local innovation. From classrooms to community-based organizations, our safeguarding work focused on prevention, awareness, accountability, and impact.<\/p>

We approached safeguarding as a shared responsibility\u2014one that must be present in every conversation, every policy, and every child-facing activity. The result was a year of meaningful progress, practical tools, and stronger systems that help ensure children are not only protected, but also empowered to speak up and be heard.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

One of the year\u2019s key accomplishments was integrating safeguarding systems into education programming. In collaboration with educational authorities, we helped design and formalize procedures for suggestion and complaint boxes\u2014now officially adopted by the Directorate of Education in Northwest Syria.<\/p>

We also supported 12 schools in implementing full safeguarding systems. This included both technical and financial support, paired with ongoing follow-up to ensure meaningful integration. Over 500 hours of training and coaching<\/strong> were delivered to 209 school staff<\/strong>, including protection officers, to foster safer, more inclusive learning environments.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Across the organization, we strengthened our internal systems to ensure safeguarding wasn\u2019t confined to one department\u2014it became embedded in how we recruit, train, contract, and operate.<\/p>
