A Child Care Toolkit for Emergency and Post Emergency Response prepared by Louise Melville Fulford for the Interagency Working Group on Separated and Unaccompanied Children. The document provides a rapid overview of best practices in relation to interim care, including Key Principles and a Key Summary Guidance of the actions required before and during the emergency response, associated tools and where in the Extended Guidance to go for detailed information.This document also contains the Draft Standard Operating Procedures for Supporting Children’s Community-Based Care Placements (SOPs). These were developed from the Haiti response by Katherine Williamson for the International Rescue Committee (IRC), and provide an example set of the tasks required by those identifying, assessing and placing separated and unaccompanied children in an emergency, in accordance with the national context and required procedures. These serve as an example and can assist in the development of Supporting Children’s Community-Based Care Placements (SOPs) to suit the context and legal and policy framework in which you are working
