Webinar | Protection of Children during Infectious Disease Outbreaks V.1

The Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action hosted a global webinar introducing the newly-released Guidance Note: Protection of Children During Infectious Disease Outbreaks (IDOs) and briefing paper. Children are particularly vulnerable during epidemics or pandemics, but inter-agency guidance on how to protect children in these situations has been lacking. This Guidance Note fills that gap. The Alliance provided a deeper understanding of the factors that put children at risk during IDOs as well as practical steps to mitigate those risks. The webinar included a pre-recorded video presentation, transcript and a live Q&A session.
