Services Overview
Child Frontiers offers tailored services for strengthening national child protection systems in developing and middle-income countries, as well as in emergency situations.
For each client situation, a “customized” team is assembled that can best respond to the needs and thus bring about optimum results. Although the full team may not be present at any one time in a country, members with appropriate specialist knowledge are consulted. Together we review the client’s request, devise an integrated strategy and develop solutions. Most importantly, the specialists are again drawn together to comment on and evaluate the final product.
Child Frontiers’ key services represent the specialist skills of its consultants. Whilst all have a background in child protection, their different experiences are brought to bear on the specific programme. We are able to address the key pillars for building comprehensive statutory systems: legal and policy frameworks; social services to protect families and children; and changing social attitudes and behaviours.
In order to achieve this more protective environment for children, Child Frontiers offers a range of services that lay the foundation for long term planning and provision.
