As UNICEF commemorates its 75th year, this report lays out the work in front of us by taking stock of the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on children and the road to respond and recover to reimagine the future for every child.
In this document, the awareness raising and advocacy is on behalf of or to benefit children with disabilities—many of whom may struggle to communicate because of their disability or whose voices are not heard—and because adults, systems and services often do not consider the opinions of children and children with disabilities are often left behind in changing or improving systems of care.
This guidance specifically refers to mapping of services as the process of locating and sharing information to a wide range of people about available services to support children with disabilities and their families.
This is a presentation for a half-day workshop on participation and self-advocacy approaches for working with children with disabilities and their families; includes slides, facilitation notes and a sample list of country-specific disability rights.
This facilitator’s guide accompanies the workshop slides by the same title, 'Introduction to the Identification of Developmental Delay and Disability' as part of the Toolkit for Disability Inclusion in Care Reform. It is designed to be used by the person providing the workshop.
The terminology and tips that follow may help as you use the Toolkit for Disability Inclusion in Care Reform and apply its principles to your program activities. It is recommended that you become familiar with these terms before reading the rest of the content and revisit as needed. Please keep in mind that disability is an evolving concept. Language that is preferred in one context may be different in another. Ask local organizations of persons with disabilities (OPDs) for the preferred terms in your language and country text.
This Toolkit for Disability Inclusion in Care Reform represents a collection of work developed from the experience of many practitioners and organizations. The aim of this toolkit is to increase the capacity and confidence of those working in children’s care, child protection and family strengthening to mainstream disability through every step, utilizing improvements to systems, practices, skills and attitudes. We envision family care for all children and the use of residential care only as a last resort when absolutely necessary and appropriate. The toolkit reinforces the importance of placing family care for children with disabilities at the top of any care reform agenda.

El objetivo principal del informe es sistematizar el procedimiento sustantivo en los Departamentos de Guatemala, Quetzaltenango y de Zacapa realizado por Procuraduría General de la Nación (PGN) en el que se individualiza el tipo de amenaza o vulneración en el caso concreto e identifica si la misma puede ser resuelta mediante una intervención gubernamental específica, sin necesidad de intervención jurisdiccional y su análisis. El documento contiene un estudio del Sistema de Gestión para la Atención Integral de la Niñez y la Adolescencia, en relación al funcionamiento por parte de la Procuraduría General de la Nación de Quetzaltenango, Guatemala y Zacapa, y un análisis de casos resueltos judicialmente en Zacapa que podrían haberse tramitado previamente en la vía administrativa y evitar la institucionalización (gatekeeping mechanism en ingles)
