Summary: This handbook aims to provide an introduction to Child Rights Programming - Save the Children’s approach to the use of human rights principles and standards in its work with children, their families, carers and communities.
Why is a second edition of the handbook necessary only three years after the first The second edition of the CRP handbook is now available in English, Spanish and Croatian/Serbian/Bosniak (soon in Portuguese, French, Arabic). The French and Spanish versions of the handbook will be available shortly on the CRIN website. For more information, contact: Save the Children Suecia
edition was produced? The main reason is that during this time there has been a
great deal of learning about rights-based approaches both within Save the Children
and elsewhere. This has included key developments in such areas as support to
children’s participation, the carrying out of a rights-based situation analysis and the
application of rights principles to the way an organisation such as Save the Children
operates with different partners. Some of this new material has been incorporated
into this second edition and existing material has been rewritten to reflect some of
the new insights.
