The Director of Children for Health, Clare Hanbury, prepared two sets of materials on children’s participation in child protection for Child to Child and The Keeping Children Safe Coalition, namely:
The project involved testing the toolkit and training module in Sierra Leone, with colleagues in a number of different organisations based throughout Africa. All these organisations are members of the Keeping Children Safe Coalition. Online versions of both sets of materials can be downloaded for FREE. It is important to emphasise that while these materials aim to encourage children to get involved in child protection, we believe that its the responsibility of adults to ensure children are safe.
Here is a bit more on the materials…
