Inter-Agency Child Labour Toolkit | Preventing and Responding to Child Labour in Humanitarian Action
Every day, millions of children worldwide experience the consequences of violent conflicts, climate change, disasters and epidemics. In times of crisis, when people are forced to flee their homes, schools close, jobs are lost and the availability of services decreases, child labour becomes a coping mechanism for many families in distress. It deprives children of their childhood, their potential...
Child Labour Tool | Body Safety
In addition to regular and consistent safety assessments, case workers can hold separate sessions with children and caregivers on body safety and safety planning. This can help children to communicate their boundaries and respond to unsafe situations. These sessions can help children to feel more control and confidence in responding to threats when they occur.
Child Labour Tool | Age Verification for Working Children
Where children may be engaged in vocational training, livelihoods or decent work programmes, humanitarian actors will need to verify the age of the child, to ensure that children are old enough to participate. Always follow existing legislation and guidelines on age verification and certification, as outlined in the national legislative framework.
Child Labour Tool | Measuring Child Labour in Humanitarian Settings
Child labour data can be hard to come by, especially when it comes to the worst forms of child labour. At the same time, this data is essential to inform strategic decision-making and response planning in humanitarian settings. This checklist contains key actions to improve measurement of child labour in humanitarian settings.
Child Labour Tool | Psychosocial Impacts of Child Labour
Child labour can seriously affect children’s social and emotional development and wellbeing. Different aspects of children’s work can cause harm to their psychosocial wellbeing. The impact of psychosocial hazards can cause significant stress, and if they are not mitigated, children can develop mental health conditions that require specialised support. Children in the worst forms of child labour...
Child Labour Tool | Child Labour Risk Matrix
A risk matrix is a case management tool that caseworkers and their supervisors can use during the assessment of an individual child in or at risk of child labour. The risk matrix can help determine the level of risk a child faces and subsequently help prioritise actions to take.
Child Labour Tool | Supporting At-Risk Children and Empowering Girls
This tool provides additional guidance on promoting inclusive humanitarian action with and for working children and adolescents who are in or at risk of child labour/WFCL, with specific attention to girls.
Child Labour Tool | Preventing Child Labour Risk Factors Related to Humanitarian Action
SAMPLE RISK ASSESSMENT QUESTIONS: Do vulnerable groups targeted by the intervention include working children and their families? Do children already work in the areas where the intervention hopes to have an effect, e.g. geographical, trade, thematic or subject areas? Are children who are under the minimum working age currently working? Are children who are over the minimum working age currently...

However, there are great opportunities for the global community to...
