The present study examines the role of governmental institutions in the prevention of domestic child abuse in the legal systems of Iran and the United Kingdom. Domestic child abuse is a serious social issue that has devastating consequences for children's physical, psychological, and social development. Governmental institutions play a crucial role in preventing this phenomenon through legislation, policy-making, and the implementation of monitoring programs. The Law on the Protection of Children and Adolescents, enacted in 2020 in Iran, dedicates its initial provisions to assigning responsibilities to various organizations for the prevention of child abuse. Similarly, various laws in England have established preventive measures in this regard. This study, employing a comparative approach and aiming to identify the shortcomings of Iranian laws in this field, examines the role of governmental institutions in preventing domestic child abuse in the legal systems of Iran and England. To this end, the concepts and types of child abuse, as well as the legal and executive structures related to child protection in both countries, are analyzed. Using a descriptive-analytical method, this research evaluates the legal frameworks of Iran and England and demonstrates that England has been more successful in preventing child abuse due to its comprehensive protective system, including advanced legislation, independent supervisory bodies, and effective reporting mechanisms. In contrast, despite the existence of multiple protective laws in Iran, weaknesses in supervision, the lack of independent specialized institutions, and implementation challenges have hindered the full achievement of preventive objectives.
