A qualitative analysis of child protection professionals’ challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic

Child Protection Professionals (CPPs) play a key role in providing insights into the child protection system and how it can best support children’s right to personal security, particularly during trying times like the COVID-19 pandemic. Qualitative research provides one potential tool to tap into this knowledge and awareness. This research thus expanded earlier qualitative work on CPPs’ perceptions of the impact of COVID-19 on their work, including potential struggles and barriers, into the context of a developing country.
