Laying the foundations for non-violent childhoods: putting\u00a0prohibition of corporal punishment of children into practice\u00a0<\/h3>

 <\/p>

The ultimate goal of prohibiting corporal punishment is to ensure that no child ever experiences it - by eliminating its use completely. Legal prohibition sends a clear message that hitting and hurting a child, for whatever reason, is wrong, just as hitting and hurting adults is wrong.<\/p>

But law reform alone will not eliminate corporal punishment.<\/p>

Implementing the law is not only about responding to adults who violently punish children \u2013 it is primarily about transforming attitudes and practice so that physical punishment is no longer seen as acceptable, enabling a shift in social norms towards positive, non-violent childrearing methods.<\/p>

However, prohibition only becomes really effective when concrete measures are put in place to prevent children from experiencing corporal punishment, however light.<\/p>

This guidance aims to provide practical information to support the implementation of laws prohibiting corporal punishment in all settings, describing the key steps for moving from prohibition to elimination of corporal\u00a0punishment.<\/p>
