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.
