"The Readiness Assessment for the Prevention of Child Maltreatment (RAP-CM) is a method to assess how “ready” a country, province, or community is to implement evidence-based child maltreatment prevention programmes on a large scale – that is programmes which seek to prevent child maltreatment (child maltreatment) before it even occurs. Readiness includes several facets including the awareness of the problem and its severity in relation to other problems (priority); the willingness or motivation to change the problem; the skills and knowledge required to address the problem; and the capacity to address the problem in terms of, for instance, financial and material resources. Once readiness to implement child maltreatment programmes on a large scale has been assessed, the next step is to increase readiness on those dimensions where this may be necessary and then implement evidence."
