The Keeping Children Safe Coalition invite our members and partners staff to participate in a workshop to review our new slimline training tool for use in emergency and humanitarian responses.
The workshop is being hosted by LEADS in Colombo, Sri Lanka from the 7th to 9th June 2011 included. The workshop will be facilitated by Solveig Routier, the consultant leading on this project for KCS. Exact details of the venue will be provided nearer the time.
Keeping Children Safe: A Toolkit for Child Protection is a comprehensive pack of materials to support people across the world to safeguard those children with whom they work or come into contact. The toolkit aims to support agencies at international, national and local levels put child safeguarding standards into practice.
The slimline edition for emergencies has been designed to support staff and managers to understand their roles and responsibilities on safeguarding children in emergency and humanitarian contexts and is short and flexible so it can be used effectively in constrained circumstances.
This review workshop will pilot the training module before it is finalized and published for wider use. Participation in the workshop will provide an opportunity for learning more on what is needed to safeguard children in emergencies and offers the opportunity to influence the final tool so it is relevant for those working in the field, at regional level as well as head offices.
Attendance at the workshop is subject to capacity. We particularly welcome participants who have been involved in emergencies, those who have child protection responsibilities and those whose role includes mainstreaming child protection within the organization. The workshop will be delivered in a group of 20 to 25 participants in English.
No registration fee. Lunch and coffee breaks are provided. Participants are responsible for organizing and covering costs of their travelling and accommodation.
If you wish to participate in this workshop, please register with info@kcs-coalition by 20 May.
