On behalf of End Corporal Punishment, we would like to share with you the Implementation Guidance – A Strategy to Eliminate Violent Punishment of Children, which is available in eight languages!

The Implementation Guidance outlines five broad steps for transitioning from physical punishment prohibition to elimination and development of non-violent childhoods which are:

• Enact – adopt a law prohibiting corporal punishment;
• Plan and coordinate – Develop a costed national action plan and integrate it into child protection system;
• Communicate – Public education, awareness-raising;
• Support – Positive parenting; and
• Evaluate – Monitor the impact of the interventions.
