Fiji has introduced its first National Child Safeguarding Policy, establishing a comprehensive framework to protect children across all sectors. The policy mandates that services involving children be safe, respectful, and child-friendly, aiming to prevent harm and promote well-being. This initiative addresses growing regional concerns about child safety in the Pacific and sets a national benchmark for other countries to follow. By creating clear guidelines and accountability mechanisms, Fiji strengthens its commitment to child protection, ensuring that all children have access to secure environments where their rights, dignity, and development are prioritised.
