Specific objectives.
Participatory design and testing of the Children Digi-CORE app empower children who are capable of forming their own views to understand their rights and report violations to the Ombudsperson for children of the Piedmont Region (Italy)
- Defining and testing Standardized CORE interdisciplinary procedures to manage children’s reporting
- Interdisciplinary training for professionals
- Exchange of knowledge and good practices, promotion of peer-learning between ombudspersons for children and welfare professionals and establishment of an integrated policy framework.
Methodology.
The project adopts an innovative, child friendly, participatory, integrated and interdisciplinary approach.
Innovative: a digital tool for children’s complaints to local ombudspersons for children does not yet exist
Child friendly: the app and the interdisciplinary procedures will present specific features making them easy for children to use
Participatory: groups of children and young adults will be involved in the needs assessment (through children’ s focus groups), in the mobile app development and testing (users’ assessment workshops) and in the training (children as trainers)
Integrated: our tools will be built on the existing framework
- Interdisciplinary: Children Digi-CORE will guarantee, both in defining the “Standardized CORE interdisciplinary procedures” and in the training, the necessary integration between Law, Psychology and Social Work.
