Children are the priority category of policies relating to social services. They are the major segment of the population who need protection because they are always vulnerable to the increasingly diverse and different dangerous situations. While the children were facing risks such as violence, homelessness, poverty, the war in the past, these risks have varied greatly in the present. These days, we notice the increasing ignorance and exploitation toward children facing various forms of physical, emotional and sexual assaults. Also, we notice the increasing proportion of children facing the risk because of problems that affect the family, such as alcohol and drug abuse, domestic violence, poverty, and unemployment. This paper will be addressing the risks confronting children especially these days using an approach via a literature review. Child protection policies related to the risks exposed by children must be developed by countries. Child protection system and the dangers that face children these days are topics that have been addressed in this paper. At the same time, this paper also includes the intervention of social work that can be implemented in order to protect children from the dangers. In this paper, there is a discussion about the intervention of social work to risks faced by children within the child protection policies. At the same time, it will present suggestions for prevention and protection policies that can be applied in order to protect children from risk.
