This Humanitarian Quickie will explore child safeguarding and child protection in humanitarian response. It will look at the risks faced by children in humanitarian contexts, different approaches to providing immediate protective responses, and preventive, systemic measures that can be taken to ensure that humanitarian organisations do not contribute to or cause harm to children.
