Keeping Children Safe: How to Implement the Standards

Keeping Children Safe Coalition

The Keeping Children Safe Coalition recently published a comprehensive toolkit for the development of child protection standards and processes for international aid agencies.  Abuse of children across the world occurs on a staggering scale with the Coalition estimating that 40,000,000 children are abused each year.  Recognizing the obligation of international organisations to address these protection challenges effectively, the Keeping Children Safe Coalition produced a thorough step by step guide to the establishment, implementation and monitoring of safeguards for children. 

How to Implement the Standards (Tool 2) explores each of the eleven standards, charting mechanisms to effectively move the policies and procedures created through Tool 1 into practice.  The tool provides activities and auditing mechanisms to assess the efficacy of both policy and practice.
