This form should be used in an immediate relief situation. The aim is to try and assess what needs to be done to stabilize the situation (with regard to child protection issues) so that responders can act on this information to make the environment safer for children.
The form is to be completed the form below using your judgment. You do not need to complete every box, as this might not be realistic given the situation. Please do consider the needs of the informants giving the information who may feel insecure and uncomfortable about information that may be considered socially or politically sensitive. Only seek information about sensitive issues if you feel your informants are comfortable and safe, you see visible signs needing explanation, or informants show signs of wanting to raise issues themselves.
For the purposes of this assessment, a child means any person under the age of 18. Make this clear to informants.
