This practice briefing aims to support carers and practitioners to talk and listen to children and young people in alternative care about Covid-19

ECDAN along with the Inter-American Dialogue (IAD) and UNICEF's Regional Office for Latin America will convene a webinar in Spanish to reflect on how COVID-19 has affected early childhood and what responses governments in Latin America are preparing to address the changing situation and to ensure that early childhood development goals continue to receive the necessary attention.

The Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action and UNICEF facilitated this webinar to discuss the guidance in the Technical Note on COVID-19 and Children Deprived of their Liberty and some of the successes and challenges in protecting the rights of children in detention during the pandemic.

This Note proposes a model New York state statute that will recognize the importance of children's visitation with incarcerated parents, implement “child friendly” visitation programs, facilitate training for prison staff, and provide transportation for children in major cities to the prison facilities.

Using routine data from a kinship care helpline service, this study employed a mixed‐method analysis of the association between socioeconomic deprivation and risk factors reported by kinship carers in the UK and explored social capital in kinship families.

These tip sheets from Save the Children provide recommendations for disability inclusion during COVID-19 across a range of thematic areas and topics, including education, cash transfers, health, and nutrition.

The UK government has introduced several changes to legal protections for children in care as an emergency response to the coronavirus crisis, which, according to this article from the Guardian, children’s rights campaigners and activists are condemning.

This document is intended to provide guidance on how to support the social service workforce and empower them to safely serve children, families, and communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The present document aims to provide practical guidance to States and other stakeholders in preventing and responding to COVID-19 in the context of immigration detention, including the detention of unaccompanied and separated children, highlighting instances of promising practices as useful models to draw from.

UNICEF is seeking a consultant to develop standard procedures (SOPs) identifying roles and responsibilities of different actors on the Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration of children who have been associated with armed groups and forces.
