INTER AGENCY GUIDELINES FOR CASE MANAGEMENT AND CHILD PROTECTION

Case management is complex in any setting; it is even more complicated in a humanitarian context where risk, injuries, and violence are amplified. These guidelines have been developed at an inter-agency level through the Child Protection Working Group to complement the agreed standard 15 on Case Management in the Minimum Standards for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action. They aim to provide a common understanding and step-by-step guidance on how to do case management in emergencies. The associated Child Protection Case Management Training Manual for Caseworkers, Supervisors and Managers is based upon and provides guidance for conducting training on these Guidelines.
