![Page 11: Seeking a society where all children are loved, valued and able to fulfill their potential National Child Protection Authority of Sri Lanka](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cc35503460f9498caf7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Our Bottom-Up Approach..
Ensure that the community owns child protection
projects and activities and also
understand the notion of
accountability with respect to child
rights and violence and injustice against
children.

CR – the questions that need asking
• Do partners play an active role in supporting children, providing services or advocating for children’s rights and well-being?
• How do children relate to referral partners?
• Are they actively involved with those organisations themselves?
