Overview

Key facts

The current child protection system is fragmented and disjointed, with multiple data sets, sources, standards and capabilities. This means that it is difficult to join up data, obscuring the scale of complexity and challenges within the child protection system. Without high-quality data that can guide policy, funding and interventions, children continue to be exploited and abused, and perpetrators of abuse have impunity. Child protection data is also changing. With the advent of new technology like extended realities and generative AI comes new online forms of harms. Public services and frontline practitioners are experiencing for the first-time enormous volumes of data, particularly around the creation and sharing of Child Sexual Abuse Material. Those that work across the child protection system therefore need to be prepared to not just build better foundations and standards to commission, collect and analyse existing data, but be ready to future-proof the system against harm in new spaces and in new ways.
