In this paper, public protection policies for children and adolescents are analyzed from a health perspective. Interfaces between them, public protection and health policies are presented. Then, the policies are discussed from a conceptual and philosophical viewpoint, also considering the limitations and potentials observed. Findings showed that the strong impact of violence on child and adolescent morbidity and mortality in the Brazilian population has lead to the restructuring of the victim protection network, demanding problem-solving care. Nurses’ inclusion in the child and adolescent protection network is fundamental, as these professionals are in a strategic position to identify risks and possible victims.
