The purpose of this Protocol is to provide a comprehensive and systematic approach for the duty-bearers in handling and managing cases of child abuse, neglect, exploitation, and discrimination (CANE+D). The duty bearers are all persons who have the responsibility to protect the child, including but not limited to: Barangay Officials, Health Workers, Social Workers, Teachers, Law Enforcement Officers, Prosecutors, and the Courts. This Protocol aims to ensure that all actions taken are in the best interest of the child, uphold the childโs rights, and promote their well-being.
The Protocol is also intended to be implemented overseas by Philippine Foreign Service Posts (FSPs), Migrant Workers Offices (MWOs) and Office of the Welfare Attaches in connection with reporting cases to concerned agencies in the Philippines, as well as in providing immediate and temporary support to the child victims.
The scope of this Protocol covers all forms of child abuse, neglect, exploitation, and discrimination (CANE+D). It provides guidelines for the identification, reporting, investigation, case management, legal proceedings, rehabilitation, reintegration, and prevention of these cases.
