Child Protection Rapid Assessment Toolkit

The CPWG members have collaborated in developing the Child Protection Rapid Assessment Toolkit. It has been piloted in over 20 emergency-affected contexts and incorporates changes based on extensive field-testing. Where agencies use the same assessment tool, the resources required are minimized, more ground can be covered, data is comparable across locations and time, and the results are more persuasive to planners, funders and other decision-makers. For these reasons, each CPWG member agency has committed to using the Child Protection Rapid Assessment Toolkit rather than agency-specific assessment tools for child protection, wherever possible.
