All children everywhere have a fundamental right to be protected from violence, abuse, exploitation and neglect. Thailand's Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) collaborated to test innovative models for preventive and responsive child protection services in pursuit of this goal. The pilot involved analyzing 'big data' from the health information system (HIS) using a new platform called Child Shield to identify children and families at risk of violence, and to case manage children identified as victims using the Primero information management platform. The partners also tested a Parenting for Lifelong Health (PLH) parent education programme as a violence prevention measure.
MoPH and UNICEF commissioned an evaluation to reflect on the progress and lessons learned from the experience of the pilot Child Protection Joint Initiatives (CP Joint Initiatives) to document successes and identify areas that need improvement.
