Save the Children’s CPI Newsletter – July 2012

Who is a good caregiver? What obligations do states have towards children in terms of the care they should get? And how can Save the Children work to support children, caregivers, communities, and states in their efforts to improve care for children? These are some of the issues addressed in this newsletter from the Child Protection Initiative (CPI). The July edition of the newsletter presents : – A Message from the Director of CPI; – An expert Interview with Bep van Sloten, international care consultant, who has decades of experience in advising on national child protection systems and as a carer herself, reflects on how important the professional social or community worker is in establishing a functioning child protection system; – A success story about care and protection services for vulnerable children and caregivers in Nigeria; – The “In Focus” section, which is dedicated to the Rights to Family Support and Care; – All the latest information about recent and upcoming events which relate to care issues, as well as a range of new CPI resources and publications.
