Preventing Child Maltreatment in a Virtual Learning Environment

Safety, trust, collaboration, and connection must all come FIRST for children before the practices we think of traditionally as “learning.” Preventing abuse and neglect of children in this new environment of physical distancing means focusing on relationships as protective factors. Creating multiple and regular touch points for children to connect with people with whom they have strong relationships will create spaces for understanding the health of the child and preventing problems.
