Dedicated to the development of a Child Vulnerability and Intervention Tool for children exposed to violent extremist environments who are considered potentially vulnerable. The tool is a multi-agency instrument for frontline practitioners from six categories: police; social and welfare services; education; (mental) health services; policymakers; and community-based organisations (CBOs). The tool will be co-developed with these stakeholders and professionals who work in close contact with these children and their families.
Objectives:
- Identify vulnerabilities, stigmas and resilience factors of children growing up in violent extremist environments.
- Match existing appropriate interventions to the vulnerabilities of these children.
- Develop a tool that supports professionals who are in contact with these children to identify the unique vulnerabilities, stigmas and protective factors that the child may be exposed to and select suitable interventions to build resilience and further support them and their development.
