Child Safety and Protection
Overview
Children thrive in safe, supportive, and nurturing families and communities. Yet many children in the Greater Kansas City area experience dangerous and damaging childhoods.
Partnership for Children envisions a society in which all children avoid risky behaviors and are safe in their homes and communities from all forms of abuse, neglect, exploitation and violence.
By working to promote policies that strengthen families, we can help ensure that all children grow up in safe, nurturing, and permanent environments.
