DE-COLONISING RESEARCH ABOUT CHILD PROTECTION
We are building an evidence base about the beliefs and actions of a growing mass of child protectors. We demonstrate the social value being generated by the crowd of protectors; and reveal what works to prevent and respond to violence against children in East Africa.
Our work is informed by research in social and evolutionary psychology, integral theory, inter-personal neuroscience, social norms, game theory, social network analysis and empirical investigation of the worldview of Tanzanian protectors.
If you scroll down the page you will see & be able to interact with real time data analytics that show the actions of a growing groundswell of child protectors.
