Overall the document aims to raise awareness about the serious problems of child abuse and labour.
The document discusses child abuse and child labour. It defines child abuse as any act that harms a child physically, emotionally, or sexually. Child labour deprives children of their childhood and education. Statistics show a rise in reported child abuse cases in India. The government has enacted laws like POCSO and initiatives like Childline to protect children. However, poverty, lack of access to education, and social issues continue driving child labour. Addressing its root causes, creating awareness, and supporting vulnerable families are suggested to prevent abuse and labour. Social workers play a key role through counseling, monitoring, and ensuring children's well-being and rights.
This document defines child abuse and outlines the different types. It states that child abuse includes physical, emotional, sexual, and neglect. Abuse can occur within the family, community, or institutional settings. The document also discusses factors that can increase the risk of abuse, such as a child's developmental needs, a caregiver's capacity to meet those needs, and environmental factors. The four main types of abuse are defined as physical, emotional, sexual, and neglect.
The document discusses key principles of child protection including defining child protection, types of child abuse, vulnerability, and best interests of the child. It emphasizes creating a protective environment for children through preventing abuse, realizing children's rights, and restoring hope for abuse survivors. Vulnerability is described as a state where rights are at risk and can fluctuate over time based on protective or risk factors. Best interests of the child requires considering children's rights, welfare, development and protection in all decisions affecting them. Confidentiality guidelines include only sharing identities of involved parties with those who need to know, keeping anonymous records, and ensuring safety and consent when discussing cases.
Safeguarding Children: The Children Protection Policy at SchoolsA
Kids are amazing, aren’t they? Their happiness, anger, or even the bullying gives us a message, a warning. In this short piece, we’ll try to navigate some of the key principles of safeguarding children. The aim of this article is to introduce you to the children protection policy at schools in the UK.
Let’s start with the definitions first, and we can take a tour into the policy statements and sensitive issues later on.
The document provides guidance on safeguarding for a training. It begins by outlining basic rules for respecting others and maintaining confidentiality during discussions. It then defines safeguarding as protecting people from harm, including preventing exploitation and abuse. The document stresses everyone's responsibility for safeguarding and outlines reporting structures, with senior leadership responsible for oversight and managers and staff responsible for implementation.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Do No Harm
Protection Principle #1 (of 4): Avoid exposing
people to harm as a result of your actions.
• Can you think of ways that we could accidentally do
harm to a child?
Remember:
Code of Conduct
Prevention of Sexual Exploitation
and Abuse (PSEA) by aid workers
21. What is the potential harm that could result from the following
actions?
• Interviewing a child without training
• Speaking/behaving in an unprofessional manner around
children
• Violating a child’s privacy (example: posting pictures of a
child on the internet without parental consent).
• Searching for (asking people) about protection incidents
that may have occurred
• Breaking confidentiality (telling someone without
permission) about a disclosed protection incident
• Sharing sensitive information with people outside of the

22. Interviewing Children
• DTM enumerators should not interview children unless
specifically told to do so by your DTM Coordinator.
• Why?
• Conflicting principles: Child Participation vs Do no harm
• Children in emergencies and unsafe migration contexts are already
experiencing stress. Without proper training, staff could increase
psychological distress
Exceptions:
- Registration of UASC
- FMS with unaccompanied children

Background: GBViE, Call to Action, IOM supported since 2014 to mainstream GBV in several sectors of assistance, including CCCM, shelter and DTM. Objective: Doing better a protection women and girls in emergencies. Global cooperation with the GBV AoR.
Facilitate a conversation on ‘Who is a child?’
Further probes: what are the main characteristics of a child? Are these characteristics the same across regions, countries and continents? What determines the way communities define a child? Is such definition only related to age or also to social roles that a person may have to take on?
4 guiding principles of the CRC:
Best interest
Non-discrimination
Participation
Right to life, survival and development
Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child of 1924
Declaration of the Rights of the Child 1959
UN Convention on the Rights of the Child 1990
Abuse: an illegal, improper, or harmful practice or maltreatment
Child abuse: a deliberate act of ill treatment /an omission that can harm/is likely to cause harm to a child’s safety, well-being, dignity and development.
Physical Abuse: Involves the use of violent physical force so as to cause actual or likely physical injury or suffering, e.g. Hitting, Shaking, Burning, Torture
Emotional Abuse: Includes humiliating and degrading treatment, e.g. Bad name calling, Constant criticism, Belittling, Persistent shaming, Solitary confinement, Isolation.
Sexual Abuse: Includes all forms of sexual violence, e.g.: Rape (by any perpetrator), Early and forced marriage, Sexual exploitation, Indecent touching and exposure, Using sexually explicit language towards a child , Showing children pornographic material.
Exploitation: child labour, one of the worst forms of which is sexual exploitation
Violence: All forms of physical or mental violence, injury and abuse, neglect or negligent treatment, maltreatment or exploitation, including sexual abuse
Is it Abuse?
Abuse rarely fits clearly into just one of the five categories. In deciding whether an action is abusive
look at the possibility that the action will cause harm not whether the intention was for the action to cause harm
To understand a situation more information may be needed.
Possible Perpetrators: adults are in a position of power over children (this includes relatives, teachers, leaders and agency staff).
QUIZ:
Hitting a child that has misbehaved
Leaving a small child at home alone all day because his parents are at work
Repeatedly shaming a child who is not doing well in school
Keeping a child isolated – away from social interaction
Asking pupils to clean their teachers’ personal living quarters for good grades
Giving a child alcohol or illegal drugs
Forcing a child to beg for money or sell small items (like tissues) to people on the street
Threatening to, or touching a child in a sexual manner
Child marriage
Your own attitudes and experiences can influence your assessments and you must be aware of this.
Justification for Child Marriage: Child Marriage is the marriage of anyone under the age of 18. Marriage is always a form of child abuse and it is a human rights issue, as recognized by the UN Human Rights Council. It is seen as forced because a child under 18 is seen as been unable to give full consent. CAN BE USED AS A COPING MECHANISM
Why is it abuse?
Sexual abuse: Forced to have sex
Physical abuse: Bodies not mature enough to carry/deliver children
Emotional abuse: Children facing child marriage are often pressured to do so by their families/communities
Neglect: Married girls rarely enrol in school
Exploitation: Pressuring/forcing marriage for dowries or to strengthen family ties
Child brides are more vulnerable to abuse – can’t get away.
Mental illness is more common in child brides due to their experience of physical or sexual violence and emotional abuse
Lack of education and empowerment also mean girls are less able to advocate for the well-being of their own children. The children of child brides have higher mortality rates, worse nutritional outcomes, and tend to be less educated.
The rings denote who is responsible for realizing children’s protection rights (duty-bearers, including
children themselves).
The ultimate responsibility for protection of citizens is with the Government of the country, however we all have a roll to play.
The international community bridge capacity gaps of duty-bearers to enhance their capacity to protect children.
Emergencies and Migration..
Vulnerabilities might increase during the journey due to lack of access to services, gaps in child protection systems and lack of coordination in the referral mechanisms;
Migrant children might travel alone, with unrelated adults or with family members; They might become unaccompanied and/or separated during the journey and/or after the arrival in the host country;
Migrant children are exposed to risk of violence, abuse and/or exploitation, immigration detention and trafficking, during all phases of the migratory route.
UASC: Unaccompanied and separated children
Optional – when there are enough space.

Standard 13: Unaccompanied and separated children and Standard 7: Dangers and injuries (they are walking on the train track)
Can be modified based on the terms that appear in the forms.
Note: Child-headed household WITH ADULTS (so that the number is not double-counted with unaccompanied minors)
Discuss in plenary
4 Protection Principles:
Do no harm
Access to impartial assistance (based on need and without discrimination)
Protect people from psychological and physical harm arising from violence or coercion
Assist people to claim their rights, access available remedies and recover from effects of abuse
Examples of how we can do harm:
Violating a child’s privacy could lead to them being shamed/humiliated, targeted by Government or other groups wanting to punish them or expel them from a country etc).
Breaking confidentiality
shamed,
expelled from their family/community,
abused for disclosing an incident,
punished for breaking cultural norms (even if they are a survivor/victim, such as survivors of rape being accused of adultery).
It may also put YOU (the enumerator) at risk.
Sharing sensitive information (example: location of unaccompanied children, could result in human traffickers finding them. Locations of armed groups could result in IOM facing access issues)
Never interview children below 14 years.
