CHILDREN AT RISK GUIDELINES PRINCIPLE 8 CHILD-SENSITIVE INDICATORS 8.1 The impact of work on children and their families is measured both qualitatively and quantitatively. 8.2 Indicators show how the programme has an impact on the lives and environment of the children and their families, by age and gender. ■ Projects often assume that the work is benefitting parents but follow-up of what has been achieved is often minimal. Success stories of individual families have some value but are not sufficient for a thorough evaluation. 8.3 Parents, caregivers and children themselves are involved in the evaluation of the care given, and its impact on the child and the family. Questionnaire surveys conducted immediately after teaching are of limited value when assessing whether a course has been successful or not. Follow-up surveys some months later should assess how what was learned has been put into practice. The beneficiaries should be looking at what has stuck in terms of tools that have been remembered and used. Behaviour changes perceived by participants themselves are of more value. 8.4 The programme reflects on and uses the results of impact assessments. VOLUME 1: CHILDREN AND FAMILY BREAKDOWN 30
FULL TEXT OF THE RELEVANT ARTICLES FOR FAMILY AND PARENTING IN THE UN CRC CHILDREN AT RISK GUIDELINES In the Preamble: The State Parties to the present convention… convinced that the family, as the fundamental group of society and the natural environment for the growth and wellbeing of all its members and particularly children, should be afforded the necessary protection and assistance so that it can fully assume its responsibilities within the community, recognising that the child, for the full and harmonious development of his or her personality, should grow up in a family environment, in an atmosphere of happiness, love and understanding… have agreed as follows: Article 3: State Parties undertake to ensure the child such protection and care as is necessary for his or her well-being, taking into account the rights and duties of his or her parents, legal guardians, or other individuals legally responsible for him or her, and to this end, shall take all appropriate legislative and administrative measures. Article 5: State Parties shall respect the responsibilities, rights and duties of parents or where applicable the members of the extended family or community as provided for by local custom, legal guardians or other persons legally responsible for the child, to provide, in a manner consistent with the evolving capacities of the child, appropriate direction and guidance in the exercise by the child of the rights recognised in the present Convention. Article 9: State Parties shall ensure that a child shall not be separated from his or her parents against their will, except when competent authorities subject to judicial review determine, in accordance with applicable law and procedures, that such separation is necessary in a particular case such as one involving abuse or neglect of the child by the parents, or one where parents are living separately and a decision must be made as to the child’s place of residence. Article 18: State Parties shall use their best efforts to ensure recognition of the principle that both parents have common responsibilities for the upbringing and development of the child. Parents or, as the case may be, legal guardians have the primary responsibility for the upbringing and development of the child. The best interest of the child will be their basic concern. Article 19: State Parties shall take all appropriate legislative, administrative, social and educational measures to protect the child from all forms of physical or mental violence, injury or abuse, neglect or negligent treatment, maltreatment or exploitation, including sexual abuse, whilst in the care of parents, legal guardians or any other persons who have care of the child. Article 20: A child temporarily or permanently deprived of his or her family environment, or in whose best interests cannot be allowed to remain in that environment, shall be entitled to special protection and assistance by the State.
