1. Introduction
This assessment toolkit and associated supporting documentation has been created to assist PSWO’s and Child Care Institutions to achieve compliance with the Children (Approved Home) Regulation 2010. The assessment of the home will be carried out under instruction from MoGLSD. Every child care facility in Uganda should order to establish a Home’s capacity to care for children in line with the national OVC policy and the Children (Approved Home) Regulations. The assessment tool should be used in conjunction with the current inspection guidelines included in the Children (Approved Home) Regulations – Schedule 5 (Guidelines for Inspection by the Probation and Social Welfare Office and Public Health Inspector).
