Training manual for probation officers and social workers to eliminate child labour
ILO and Ministry of Social Development of Jordan
Highlights
As the ILO recognized the risk of child danger, it created a special programme aimed at helping its member states, including Jordan, to eliminate child labour. As part of its international programme to eliminate child labour, the ILO undertook several activities and offered support to assist Jordan.
This manual aims to provide probation officers and social workers with basic information on child labour, an understanding of the problem of child labour in terms of its causes, spread, effects, and means of dealing with it, as well as the methods of dealing with working children. It also aims to provide trainers with field skills and information on legal measures, especially the recent amendments to the Juvenile Law, so that they may contribute to the successful resolution of this problem. It moreover aims to build the knowledge of the trainees to ensure a team trained on eliminating child labour. The final objective of this Manual is to assist probation officers and social workers in training capable staff who can better deal with the problem of child labour.
