The Child Protection Sessions for Parents and Caregivers manual is a guide for facilitating child protection sessions for parents and caregivers. These sessions are designed to help parents to better care for their children and to protect them from all forms of violence. These sessions must be conducted by a trained facilitator who can facilitate a discussion on the issues addressed in this manual with parents and caregivers from the community. Each session is divided into section plans that provide the facilitator with guidance on how to conduct the session, plus annexes for each major topic, including tips for facilitators. The annexes contain background information for the facilitator as well as messages for parents that can be given as handouts. Each discussion should ideally be comprised of 10-20 participants.
