Frequently Asked Questions
Is my report confidential?
Yes. All reports are treated with strict confidentiality. You can report anonymously without providing your name or contact details. Your identity is never shared with the alleged perpetrator.
What happens after I report?
Your report is immediately assigned a unique case number. A trained caseworker reviews it within hours. For emergency cases, Police and Social Welfare are notified within minutes.
Can a child report directly?
Yes. Children aged 8 and above can use our child-safe portal at safechildafrica.net/help. It uses pictures and simple language. No account or reading ability is required.
What if I do not have internet?
You can report by SMS or USSD (*140#) from any mobile phone. No internet or data bundle is required. Send REPORT [location] [brief description] to our national shortcode.
Who are SafeChild Agents?
SafeChild Agents are verified NGOs, churches, community workers, and individuals registered on the platform to respond to child protection cases in their area.
How do schools use the platform?
Schools register as partner institutions. Teachers can log daily attendance, flag welfare concerns, and receive welfare alerts for enrolled students — all through a secure school dashboard.
