These three volumes (Field Guide, Training Manual and Training
Exercises) together form the complete guide for NGOs on how to
work with other NGOs, local authorities and the community to
help children separated from their families.
Based on the authors' extensive experience of working with
separated children in Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe,
the field guide, training manual and training exercises look at:
how to prevent family separations from occurring in the first
place; where children are already separated, how to organise a
programme to trace relatives and reunite the child with them;
how to organise interim care for the children awaiting tracing;
finding long-term care solutions for children whose families
cannot be traced.
The two main themes running through Working with Separated
Children are that prevention is better than cure, and that
reuniting separated children with relatives is almost always a
better solution than placing them in institutions.
