Welcome

The Victoria Climbié Foundation was established by Mr and Mrs Climbié (Victoria’s parents) to campaign for improvements in child protection policies and practices and to ensure effective links & coordination between statutory agencies, care services and communities.

Our Commitment

The Foundation is committed to its campaign against child abuse, working to eradicate child maltreatment, child exploitation and child trafficking and to influence for improvement of good practice in child protection policies and procedures. We are committed to a pluralist society where children’s human rights are prioritised and paramount where nobody is allowed to use religion or culture to harm children.
