ANPPCAN Terms of Reference to Develop Child Protection Referral Guidelines

Terms of Reference to Develop Child Protection Referral Guidelines
 

Background
 

ANPPCAN Regional Office is currently implementing a programme to strengthen the systems of response to cases of child abuse and neglect in Nairobi. 

The programme has been coordinated by ANPPCAN Regional Office in collaboration with the Nairobi Child Protection Team. 

The formation of Nairobi Child Protection Team was to create and improve response systems to child protection and reduce cases of child abuse and neglect in Nairobi. 

Through this established network of organizations that provide psychosocial, medical and legal services, the professionals meet regularly to share information on the reported cases and identify multi-sectoral interventions to cases of child abuse and neglect. 

Currently, capacity building on referral system is being conducted by ANPPCAN to the key service providers in child protection to better handle child abuse and neglect.
 

The key aim is to effectively and efficiently provide support and services to victims of child abuse and neglect, improve recording and documentation of cases, monitor the referral system and reduce the risks of child abuse, neglect and exploitation in all settings.
 

 As a process to ensure case management and referral procedures are more cohesive, comprehensive and adequate, the need to develop a referral manual became apparent to have standardized referral system and meet minimum standards.
 

This was seen necessary because most organizations have developed internal forms and guidelines to undertake case management but hardly do they fully address the needs of abused children. 

There is always repetition of incidences of child abuse, capturing every detail presented, some remaining irrelevant in drawing up interventions.  

This has shown the need to harmonize and use standardized forms and tools to capture useful data helpful in case management.
 

It is against this backdrop that ANPPCAN wishes to engage a consultant in the development and production of a child protection case management procedures and referral guidelines that will be used by all child protection actors both in the government and civil society organizations.
 

The guideline will help improve the handling of cases of child abuse and neglect and the systems created to professionalize handling cases of CAN in a multi-sectoral manner.

a) Review existing case management procedures and referral guidelines on child protection, used by the key ministries and other Civil Society Organizations working with children.
