N2 - The COVID-19 pandemic has created a worldwide health and socio-economic crisis (Thompson and Rasmussen 2020), and various UNICEF (2020a, b) reports published throughout the pandemic highlight the dangers communities face due to COVID-19. The pandemic and its accompanying social isolation alongside the shutdown of schools and other community services might have severe effects on communities worldwide. Specifically, the efforts to limit the spread of the virus, mainly through lockdowns and social distancing, might have acted as barriers to the community’s ability to support families and protect children from maltreatment (Nay 2020). Using COVID-19 as a case study, the current chapter investigates the ways in which global crises might affect communities and their roles in child protection.
