During the current crisis, identifying children at risk is inherently more challenging, given that many adults who would typically recognize signs of abuse, such as teachers, childcare workers, coaches, extended family and community members, and child and family welfare workers, are no longer in regular contact with children. Indeed, a growing body of evidence supports the notion that school closures as well as the interruption of child protection services have inhibited child maltreatment reporting during the COVID-19 pandemic.2 Understanding the current status of violence prevention and response services is therefore essential to assessing risks to children. It is also important to call attention to immediate and long-term measures that need to be put in place to ensure the safety and well-being of children amidst the pandemic’s socioeconomic fallout.
