Conclusion
Child abuse is a complex community problem, which no single organisation or profession can prevent on its own. Dealing effectively with it demands a multi-disciplinary approach which provides for the needs of the abused child or youth in a holistic way. The public sector and the community should work together and accept joint responsibility for the protection of children in our society.
Employees and parents play a most significant role in all these proceedings and must concentrate all their energies on the eradication of child abuse. The WCED firmly believes that if this evil is combated with good management both at the level of the institution and at the level of the EMDC, the struggle to overcome it can indeed be won.
