Training on Reporting on Vulnerable Children in Care

Reporting on Vulnerable Children in Care
Dates: 01 October 05 October | Location: Delhi, India 

This is a unique opportunity to develop your investigative and analytical skills around an under-reported topic close to the heart of the debate about sustainable development.

For years, conventional wisdom held that the best place to care for an orphan or mistreated child was in an institution. Charities and religious groups followed a similar logic. Historic abuse or neglect in institutions, adoption scandals, fake orphanages and the experiences of children themselves have given policy makers and professionals alike pause for thought.

Today, that thinking is changing.

Champions of an alternative approach cite decades of research which says children belong in families not in institutions. Personalities such as Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling have thrown their star power behind the campaign.
 
This programme encourages journalists to explore the risks faced by vulnerable children, and different domestic and international strategies to protect them.

This is an intensive five-day training programme to provide practical skills, tools and strategies to report on this complex topic. It includes opportunities to meet experts on the issue, combined with field trips.

It focuses on public and private initiatives to protect orphans or children sold by impoverished families, and to offer them a future. Could government money and private donations be better spent on keeping children with their families and in their communities?
 
It places it in the context of the international community’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This programme challenges you and your readers, listeners or viewers to answer the question: “Is there an innovative home-grown solution just waiting to be discovered in OUR country?”
