Practical guidance for child protection case management services in Lebanon
Lebanon Technical Working Group on Case Management
Highlights
The following document outlines sample for Child Protection Case Management applicable in the emergency response in Lebanon. Importantly, this guidance governs all case management services provided to children through the response, regardless of the nationality or displacement status of the child. It reflects best practice as outlined in the global Minimum Standards for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action (CPWG 2013)1, the global Interagency Guidelines on Child Protection and Case Management (due to be released March 2014), as well as the Lebanese national Child Protection Case Management Standard Operating Procedures (currently being field tested) and the national legal framework. The guidance has been developed by the Technical Working Group on Case Management, a sub-group of the national Child Protection in Emergencies Working Group, with the participation of UNHCR, UNICEF, Danish Refugee Council, International Rescue Committee, Save the Children, and the Ministry of Social Affairs (MoSA) emergency team. The guidance has been reviewed by Université Saint Josef and MoSA to ensure it is in line with the national SOP for Child Protection Case Management. The information included should be updated at the regional and sub-regional level to include appropriate contacts and context-specific issues.
