Child protection information management system information sharing protocol
IMC, IRC, Nour Hussein Foundation, Jordanian River Foundation, UNICEF and UNHCR
Highlights
This information sharing protocol is to set out the guiding principles and describe procedures for sharing child protection (CP) case management data among Child Protection Information Management System Task Force (CPIMS TF) members. The CPIMS Task Force is coordinated by UNHCR and IMC and reports to the Child Protection Sub-Working Group coordinated by UNHCR and UNICEF. The
Task Force will be the main entity mandated to collect, share and compile CP case management data for programing and protection purposes.
CPIMS data is currently being gathered in the twelve governorates of Jordan, including the following refugee camps: Zaatari Camp, Emirate Jordanian Camp, Cyber City, King Abdullah Park and Azraq Camp. The protocol is meant to facilitate the on-going interagency case management and information sharing between CPIMS agencies.
The data gathering/case management organizations - International Rescue Committee (IRC), International Medical Corps (IMC), Nour Hussein Foundation/ Institute for Family Health (NHF/IFH) and Jordan River Foundation ( JRF) and United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) -recognize that sharing and receiving CP case management data will contribute towards improved inter-agency coordination, identifying and targeting gaps, prioritization of actions, and improved programming for
prevention and response, as well as identification of protection interventions and durable solutions for children at risk . It may also result in improved advocacy efforts, increased leverage for fund raising and resource mobilization, and improved monitoring. All agencies will protect information to ensure that no harm comes to any survivor, service provider or the community from information sharing efforts. This protocol is to be used in conjunction with the CPIMS data protection protocol.
The protocols aim at ensuring ethical collection, recording and sharing of CP case management data with consideration to safety and confidentiality, whereby sensitive data is protected, accessible and disclosed only to authorised persons during reporting, interview and assessment.
