Save the Children is an international
non-profit organization that focuses on the fulfillment of children’s
right. Save the Children was first established in May 1919 in the U.K.
and
to date has 28 Save the Children Offices and operations in more than
120 countries worldwide. In 1976, Save the Children signed an MoU with
the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, followed
then by the operations of Save the Children throughout
Indonesia. Currently, Save the Children work in 11 provinces with a
variety of program areas, such as: Education, Health and Sanitation,
Livelihood, Child Protection also Disaster Risk Reduction.
2014 is year of
initial fully implementation of the Signature Program with support from
SCUK through CP Breakthrough Investment Fund (BSIF). One component
of the program is Prevention of institutionalization. This program aims
to
·
Prevent the separation of children from their
families, and therefore reduce inflows of children entering
institutions by strengthening the ability of vulnerable families to care
for
their children appropriately.
·
Help families to understand the importance of
avoiding unnecessary and harmful family separation, as well as the
risks of institutional care.
·
Ensure children and families have better
access to basic social services and that they are supported by their
community to address challenges when they arise, and so do not feel that
institutionalisation is the only option.
·
Advocate and support the government to expand coverage of conditional cash transfers.
The prevention
program will use participatory based Home Visitation method and due to
this is a new model for us; therefore we will be piloting the model in
2 districts. The piloting model will be under supervision of Mc. Gill
University with collaboration with PUSKAPA Child Protection Centre
University of Indonesia. To ensure that the process of piloting run well
and fluent, we need to recruit a project officer
in each district to support this program. The Prevention Project
Officer will work closely with the team of Family based Care that
compose of Family based Care Manager and Research Officer. He/she will
be under the supervision of the Family based Care Manager
on ensuring the home visit conducted by the Family Based Care Programme
meet the standard of intervention for the research.
