This "Practical Guide: System for Prevention of Child Separation from the Family" was developed in cooperation with the Ministry of Social Protection, Family and Child with technical support from the "Support to the Delivery of Efficient and Sustainable Social Assistance Services” project implemented by OPM/EveryChild Moldova, funded by DFID/SIDA. It was approved through decree of the Minister of Social Protection, Family and Child in Moldova. The guide was developed to support the consolidation of the system for prevention of child separation from the family, based on the analysis of best practices achieved in the Republic of Moldova.
The guide is provided to professionals in the field of social assistance: community social assistant, supervising social assistant, head of the community social assistance service, specialist in child rights protection, specialist in issues of families with children at risk, members of the Gate-keeping Commission, and providers of social services for children in difficulty and their families.
