Child Care & Protection

Every child deserves safety, care and belonging.

Ankur Shishugruh supports children from birth to six years, giving attention to their daily needs, safety and dignity.

Child Care & Protection

Care begins with noticing a child’s needs.

Young children need adults who notice them, care for them and protect them. At Ankur Shishugruh, we support children from birth to six years, giving attention to their daily needs, safety and dignity.

Families and caregivers can contact us to discuss the support they need and the appropriate formal process.

Supporting a family

Considering adoption

Ask for the authorised contact and official application route. Adoption follows a legal process with eligibility checks and decisions by the relevant authorities.

Child Care & Protection

A child's future requires a careful, lawful process.

Adoption follows an official process that protects children and guides decisions about their future. Eligibility, assessment, applications and placements follow the applicable requirements.

Ask for the authorised contact, current documentation and legal process. Timelines and decisions depend on individual circumstances and the relevant authorities.

Child Care & Protection

Protecting a child includes protecting their information.

Names, photographs, health information and family circumstances should be handled with care. An enquiry about a child should not become a public record of sensitive personal details.

  • Use the authorised contact route.
  • Ask how documents should be shared.
  • Keep sensitive information out of public comments and social-media groups.
  • Follow the appropriate consent and privacy guidance.

If your enquiry concerns a child's safety, tell the appropriate contact that it is a safeguarding concern. For an immediate danger, seek urgent help from the relevant local emergency or child-protection authority.
