Welcome to Child Protection!
This eCourse will primarily focus on how to develop and implement child protection policies and procedures at the program level. There is much more to child protection beyond this content, but this is a starting point for programs serving children and vulnerable adults. For more learning about broader child protection systems, view this recording of the “Child Protection in Faith Communities” webinar (CAFO and World Vision) and Working with Community-Based Child Protection Committees and Networks (Child Protection Working Group).

Example Curriculum
The Core Elements of Success in OVC Care
This eCourse is part of the Core Elements of Success in OVC Care program. It is targeted toward supporting NGOs serving vulnerable children and families as they develop and engage in partnerships with government agencies, other NGOs, churches, and other stakeholders, but principles may apply more broadly.
Ideally, it will be used in conjunction with the Core Elements Self-Assessment and other Core Elements eCourses.
This eCourse can be completed on your own, with a partner or as a team. We believe that teams learning together is where growth begins, and we are here to support you in your process of equipping your team to care well for vulnerable children and families.
