The document discusses the Minimum Standards for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action and the UNHCR Framework for Protection of Children. It provides an overview of what the Minimum Standards and Framework are used for, including to plan interventions, establish common principles, and evaluate programs. It also discusses similarities between the guiding principles of the two documents and how their indicators are linked in areas like alternative care for unaccompanied children, sexual violence prevention and response, education, and preventing recruitment and harmful practices.

Child safeguarding is the responsibility that organisations have to make sure their staff, operations, and programmes do no harm to children, that is that they do not expose children to the risk of harm and abuse, and that any concerns the organisation has about children’s safety within the communities in which they work, are reported to the appropriate authorities.

1. Minimum Standards for Child Protection and the
UNHCR Framework for Protection of Children
1. What are the Minimum Standards and
Framework for the Protection of Children?
2. What are they used for and how?
3. Principle similarities
4. Linkages and comparisons
2. Minimum Standards for Child Protection in
Humanitarian Action
Overview:
Intended to cover gaps and support child protection work in humanitarian settings.
• Establish common principles amongst those working in child protection, and to
strengthen coordination between them
• Improve quality of child protection programming, and its impact for children
• Improve accountability
• Further define the professional field of child protection
• Provide a synthesis of good practice and learning to date
• Enable better advocacy and communication on child protection risks, needs and
responses.
3. Minimum Standards for Child Protection in
Humanitarian Action
How are the Minimum Standards used?
• Plan and cost humanitarian interventions
• Establish common and measureable expectations regarding scope & quality of child protection
services provided to children, their families and communities
• Establish agreement on common principles between different actors, such as the different
members of Child Protection coordination mechanism
• Motivate and enable those working in other sectors of humanitarian action to protect children
better.
• Guide and evaluate quality and effectiveness of humanitarian interventions
• Induct and train new staff or partners
• As a self-learning tool and reference text
• Enable advocacy on CP issues
• M & E
4. CPMS in refugee settings
• CPMS is not developed specifically for refugee situations – but
should guide UNHCR CP emergency response
• Complements UNHCR specific child protection guidance (e.g. BID
guidance, CP Framework etc.)
• Does not address specific issues relating to children in refugee
procedures (e.g. registration, RSD, durable solutions) - for these
procedures specific UNHCR guidance applies.
• Developed for emergencies, but can also serve as a guide for
protracted situations
5. The Framework Minimum Standards
-Accountability
-Family and community based
approach
-Do no harm
-Non-discrimination
-Age, Gender and diversity
-Best interests of the child
-Partnership
-State responsibility
- Urgency
-Child participation
- Assist people to claim their rights,
access available remedies and
recover from the effects of abuse
- Avoid Exposing people to further
harm as a result of your actions

assistance
- Strengthen child protection
systems
- Protect people from physical &
psychological harm arising from
violence and coercion
- Strengthen children’s resilience in
humanitarian action

*Colors correlate to similarities in principles.*
6. A Framework for the Protection of Children
The Six Goals are:
1. Girls and boys are safe where they live, learn
and play
2. Children’s participation and capacity are
integral to their protection
3. Girls and boys have access to child-friendly
procedures
4. Girls and boys obtain legal documentation
5. Girls and boys with specific needs receive
targeted support
6. Girls and boys achieve durable solutions in
their best interests
Broadens UNHCR’s understanding of and engagement in the protection of children. The
Framework articulates 6 goals and offers guidance on how to achieve them.
7. Broader scope of Child Protection
A broad ‘rights-based approach’ focuses on ensuring protection for all
children of concern rather than focusing more narrowly on specific
categories of children.
State Responsibility
States are primarily responsible for the protection of children:
they need to establish and implement child protection systems in
accordance with their international obligations, ensuring non-
discriminatory access to all children under their jurisdiction.
Child Protection Systems
The Framework applies a child protection systems approach that
includes actions for duty bearers at all levels – family, community,
national and international – to mitigate and respond to the protection
risks children are facing.
Prevention and Response
Establish mechanisms which prevent and respond to children’s
protection risks, including referral pathways to child-sensitive health,
psychosocial and care services.
8. A Framework for the Protection of Children
Promotes a systems approach supports the comprehensive protection of children:
- Legal and policy framework
- Coordination
- Prevention and response activities
- Knowledge and data
- Human and financial capacities
- Human and financial capacities
- Advocacy and awareness raising
Framework applies a child protection systems approach that includes actions for duty
bearers at all national and international levels including family and community.
Assists in the mitigation and response to the protection risks children are facing.
Recognizes that all actors contribute to the comprehensive protection of children.
9. Monitoring implementation of the CPMS
• UNHCR has standard pre-set indicators for all programme
areas, including child protection.
(Outlined in the Results Based Management framework)
• Many Child Protection indicators are closely aligned with
the CPMS indicators.
• Field level partnership agreements (‘IP agreements’) can
include additional indicators, including CPMS indicators.

Core comparisons:
The Framework and Minimum Standards both:
- Have key actions and guidance notes associated with goals/indicators
- Take on a more holistic approach to child protection, involving
multiple actors than simply focusing on individual child.
- Could be used as tools to guide decision-making and reference
- Address the needs of the child as the fundamental goal
