Child Participation Risk Assessment

As part of the Global Child Protection AoR's "Working Across Sectors" workshop package, specifically Module 4 on Child Participation, Save the Children has shared sample risk assessment templates with a country example.  The process of anticipating risks followed by putting in place appropriate risk mitigation measures promotes safe, ethical involvement of children throughout the programme cycle.  Other sectors may want to contact the Child Protection Coordination Group in your location to collaborate on the risk assessment process, informed assent and consent, and any other aspect of safe and ethical child participation.   

For more comprehensive guidance and sample tools on consulting with children, check out Save the Children's Guidance on Children's Consultation in Humanitarian Contexts, available in Arabic, English, French, and Spanish.
