3. Child Protection Index
Measures each country’s level of development and performance on child protection
Results are comparable across the region

4. Why a Child Protection Index?
Provide evidence-based approach to policy debates
Bring together various actors, sectors and agendas
Identify needs and gaps in our efforts
Encourage new efforts in data collection
Provide a platform to regionally learn from each other

5. Progress Towards the CPI
Doing our Homework: what has been done in the past by others and how can we learn from that?
Developing the Index Framework: UN Convention on the Rights of the Child + Systems Approach for Child Protection
Developing the Indicators: a matrix approach
Consultation & Refinement of Indicators: external and internal support
Piloting the Index: Romania as our test case

Does the legal & regulatory framework state that child-family separation is a measure of last resort and taken only if necessary to protect the best interests of the child?
Do parents have access to counselling and other support services?
Does the state provide or sponsor counseling and support services that are staffed to meet the demand, according to quality standards?
Are complaint mechanisms in place and accessible for parents that relate to the services provided?
Do competent authorities (social services, justice, health and education) coordinate services and processes in situations that require intervention, investigation and follow-up?
