| Indicator ID | R&E17 |
|---|---|
| Indicator full statement | # of SoPs or frameworks for child protection institutionalized. |
Purpose
The indicator aims to quantify the number of child protection guiding protocols supported by Tdh that have been institutionalized by relevant authorities. This with the aim of measuring and highlighting the efforts deployed in developing appropriate and contextualized child protection technical guidance, protocols or procedures to strengthen existing child protection systems.
Definition
SoP or Frameworks: any sub-legal acts, protocol, procedure, guidelines or modus operandi to articulate the child protection services, developed by Tdh or partners with Tdh technical support.
Note: the SoPs and Frameworks do not include courses and training curriculums which are included in the indicator R&E14 – social workforce training
Institutionalized: officially mandated, officially recognized or endorsed by a governmental structure or relevant authorities.
Examples of SOPs or frameworks institutionalized thanks to Tdh’s efforts in the past:
In Mali, Tdh, as part of a national road map developed with the government the National Case Management SOPs, guidelines and information sharing protocols endorsed by the Government and made mandatory for all child protection actors through a national capacity building strategy.
In Albania, Tdh supported the development of sublegal acts for social welfare, such as a model of services for children’s victims and witness of sexual abuse and severe forms of violence called "One stop centres", and institutionalized by a formal sublegal act issued by the Ministry of Health and Social Protection
How to collect & analyse the data
| What do we count? | Number of officially endorsed SOPs, sub-legal acts, protocols, guidelines, models of action, frameworks and similar. |
|---|---|
| How to calculate the indicator's value | SUM of products supported by Tdh or its partners that are 'institutionalized". |
| Data sources | Government endorsement communication, documentation endorsed, activity reports. |
| Data collection methods and tools | Document review. Track progress periodically as part of the monitoring of activities as planned in the M&E plan. |
| Important considerations | This indicator should not be confused with indicators: 14 # of interventions that support development and strengthening of appropriate pre-service education and in-service training systems for social services workforce (formal and non-formal)
15 # of safeguarding and/or Tdh child rights monitoring and remediation systems “that have been established by organizations, institutions and private sector actors across different sectors and commodities where children are at risk of violence

Limitations and precautions
What further analysis are we interested in?
Areas and content of technical support most requested from Tdh.
Areas of expertise most developed and areas of expertise needed to develop or strengthen.
Analyse support and system strengthening efforts provided and impact at local or national level.
Appropriateness and usefulness of products institutionalised for CP actors in context.
Additional guidance
Case Management Quality Assessment Framework (QAF): For social service workforce strengthening, and child protection individual support in particular through Case Management, the QAF helps analysing strengths and weaknesses of the existing system and components and provides standard guidance and tools to develop or strengthen SOPs and protocols (this guidance only refers to case management system strengthening, but SoPs and Frameworks, as explained above, can cover a larger spectrum of CP system strengthening areas)
