Join us for the final seminar of the CSAPE project

Child sexual abuse is a pressing issue in Europe, affecting one in five children. This alarming statistic includes experiences ranging from inappropriate messages to unwelcome physical contact and even more severe violations. Every second, child sexual abuse material is being distributed, sold, and viewed online, involving children as young as 3 to 13 years old. This should not be the reality for any child.

The purpose and goal of the engagement is to lead the development of a violence prevention activity manual, in close cooperation with the four Ministries, SCNWB and the Federal Ministry of Education. The consultant will develop a tailor-made activity manual that can be used in conjunction with the official curriculum through the insertion of complementary activities that focus on building skills that prevent violence against and between children through the positive discipline approach. The activity manual will be piloted in the scope of the project and, following evaluations, the consultant will be responsible for utilizing insights to make any necessary adjustments. Once finalized, SCNWB will advocate to the relevant Ministries to scale to all schools under their jurisdiction. Following the finalization of the manual, the consultant will deliver a two-day training to teachers in the 17 schools, to build their capacity on how to use the manual in their classrooms, including replication, evaluation, and reporting on results.

School Safety Context Analysis (SSCA) is intended to be used as a factual starting point for programmatic interventions, providing a baseline to identify existing gaps and define institutional policies, action plans, or protocols that require development or strengthening in the domain of the protection of children from violence and other hazards in and around schools, thereby helping SCNWB to establish specific project targets and identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.

SSCA will serve as a base for the implementation of the project THRIVE - Targeting Hazards and Reducing Incidents of Violence in Education, through which SCNWB intends to advocate and support the education system to effectively improve safety and promote the prevention of violence and other hazards in and around schools.
