Children are one of the most vulnerable groups in a humanitarian crisis and there is a growing demand for humanitarians with expertise in child protection. This training will prepare humanitarians to address child protection needs and mainstream child protection strategies in an emergency setting.

Are you a humanitarian practitioner or looking to enter the sector, and have an interest and commitment to child protection? This course will broaden your understanding of child protection within the humanitarian system, based on the Child Protection in Humanitarian Action Minimum Standards, and you will be equipped with the right tools and strategies to apply in the field.

Who is this course for?

This intermediate-level course is ideal for people already involved or likely to be involved in child protection in emergencies programming, as a coordinator, practitioner and/or decision maker.

You are expected to have a base-level understanding of child protection issues and be aware of the risk factors that increase children's vulnerability during humanitarian action.

The course is in English and you need to have a reasonable proficiency of the English language.
