Evidence of Effective Child Protection Systems in Practice
This rapid review synthesise evidence of effective child protection systems in practice and in low resource setting.
Abstract
This rapid review synthesise evidence of effective child protection systems in practice and in low resource setting. It drew largely on evaluative papers, academic papers and some grey literature. The reviewed evidence was frequently produced as part of programme assessments commissioned and published by international agencies, but undertaken by external researchers using mixed-method approaches. While the evidence reviewed was of good quality, there were also certain limitations to the content provided. The review found major challenges in assessing the impact of a national systems-based approach to child protection are the current limitations in both the availability and quality of evidence (Krueger et al. 2014; Krueger 2014: 30; Combaz 2013: 1)
K4D helpdesk reports provide summaries of current research, evidence and lessons learned. This report was commissioned by the UK Department for International Development.
