PETALING JAYA: Child protection starts at the gate: all establishments working with children must rigorously screen potential staff through the Child Sexual Offenders Registration System (e-DKK), experts say, warning that lapses leave young people exposed to predators and institutions vulnerable to abuse.
Dr Farah Nini Dusuki, Children’s Commissioner at the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam), said that putting children’s best interests first requires hiring staff with the right skills to care for them.
