Best Interests Determination for Children on the Move: A Toolkit for Decision-Making

Save the Children UK’s South Africa Programme developed this toolkit, containing a best interest assessment form and a durable solution recommendation matrix. It also serves as a training manual in their use. This BID toolkit for Children on the Move focuses on South Africa and the rights of separated children in terms of the process for making decisions regarding their care and protection. The toolkit will guide practitioners, social workers and other relevant authorities to ensure that the best interests of an unaccompanied migrant child are influential in determining his or her support in the context of the South African child protection system.
