Basseterre, St. Kitts and Nevis – The Probation & Child Protection Services Department (PCPS SKN) will observe Child Abuse Prevention Week from November 15–21, under the theme “Together for Children: Prevention, Protection and Celebration!”
The week-long observance seeks to raise awareness about child abuse prevention, strengthen community engagement, and reaffirm the collective responsibility to protect children and promote their well-being.
Through a calendar of activities, the Department aims to encourage greater public participation and highlight the importance of creating safe, supportive, and nurturing environments where every child can thrive.
Child Abuse Prevention Week serves as an important reminder that protecting children is a shared responsibility. Parents, guardians, educators, community organisations, and members of the wider public all have a vital role to play in safeguarding children, recognising signs of abuse, and supporting prevention efforts.
The Department encourages the public to review the Calendar of Activities and participate in the scheduled initiatives wherever possible. Community involvement is essential to building greater awareness, strengthening protective systems, and ensuring that children are afforded the care, protection, and opportunities they deserve.
As PCPS SKN observes this important week, the Department invites everyone to stand together in advancing child protection and promoting a culture of prevention, protection, and celebration.
Together, let us make the safety, happiness, and well-being of every child a priority.
