Summary: An Implementation and Monitoring Handbook for the Guidelines for Alternative Care of Children is currently being drafted. NGOs are being asked to contribute some additional promising practice examples.
The Centre for Excellence for Looked After Children in Scotland (CELCIS), at the University of Strathclyde, has been awarded the commission for an international implementation and monitoring handbook on the Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children, which were approved by the UN General Assembly in 2009. The purpose of the handbook is to provide specific guidance on the how the guidelines can be practically implemented - a gap that currently exists among service providers and child protection specialists. By providing illustrative and realistic examples of existing practices that demonstrate the guidelines in operation across multiple countries and various regions, it is hoped that professionals will be given an impetus and innovative means for implementing them around the globe. Call for contributions To assist with the drafting process, a call for contributions has been issued for promising practices. For further details view the attached documents. Further information
