Save the Children has just published a set of 3 publications which are intended to help strengthen support to child led initiatives and organisations. Beautifully designed in a colourful and reader-friendly format, these 3 publications provide a complete guide to using a Spider Tool which has been specially developed to help child led initiatives and organisations assess their own groups, what they are trying to achieve, what they feel they are good at and areas they would like to improve. The Spider Tool therefore helps provide child led initiatives and organisations with a starting point to plan changes and improvements in their groups.

The publications are based on a piloting of the tool by child led groups supported by Save the Children and partner organisations in 7 countries and 2 regions during 2004-2005. The 3 publications combine a Lessons Learnt from the piloting, a revised Spider Tool and an accompanying Facilitators Guide. A list of key resources are contained at the end of each publication.

The set is currently available in English but will also shortly be translated into French, Portuguese and Spanish.
