3. Awareness and communication campaign aimed at generating commitment in addressing cases of domestic violence.
4. Community meetings aimed at identifying situations of child abuse and physical and mental health problems in families, for referral to the corresponding authorities.
5. Promotion of responsibility and ethical commitment, encouraging immediate response to any eventuality.
6. Prevention and protection campaign through the media, accompanied by internal training processes aimed at INAIPI collaborators.
7. Implementation of a consequences regime for cases of negligence in the processing of incidents or complaints.

The Executive Directorate emphasized that these changes seek to guarantee the comprehensive protection of early childhood, ensuring that each report received translates into effective and timely actions in favor of children.
