Achieving a Multi-sectoral Approach to Child Protection Survey

A key pillar of success in developing an effective child protection system is the coordination of different sectors. Please tell us if you currently have a multi-sectoral child protection working group (or similar) in your country in this 6-minute survey.

The information will be used by ISPCAN and partners to support the development of the international community of child protection practice, and to help us provide more support for governments through the Rise Up Policy Forum initiative.

We want to help you with the complex problem of child protection and are very grateful for your participation.

If you would like to discuss anything or need more information, please contact Bess Herbert, Senior Policy Adviser, ISPCAN, at policy@ispcan.org.
You are also welcome to book a meeting with me at https://calendly.com/policy-ispcan/30min.

DEADLINE FOR COMPLETION OF SURVEY: 30 May 2025
