Canada’s tipline for reporting online child sexual exploitation,
in particular child pornography (child sexual abuse material),
online luring, children exploited through prostitution, travelling
sex offenders, and child trafficking.
A safety education program designed to empower children
and reduce their risk of victimization. The program focuses
on building self-esteem by teaching critical problem-solving
skills, and uses a community-based approach to heighten
awareness of child safety and protection strategies. kids
in the know includes a curriculum for teachers, as well as
supplementary information on dealing with disclosure of
abuse, training programs, books and puppets, games, and
online activities for families.
A program to help child-serving organizations create safe
environments for children. Commit to kids provides strategies,
policies, and step-by-step tools to help organizations reduce
the risk of sexual abuse and protect children in their care.
