Endangered identification tools
In preparation for staff working with refugees as well as working with at-risk populations, we have prepared materials provided by UNHCR as well as UNICEF for the needs of our organization. These tools and procedures are implemented in methodologies and procedures within the SOCIO platform . During crisis intervention, as well as follow-up work, it is necessary to focus on the identification of children at risk and at risk. Following the identification, it is necessary to choose the appropriate procedure and prioritize the identified risk groups based on the threat and the need to provide assistance. Various tools and methods can be used to work with potentially risky clients to identify and determine the procedure. Several possible procedures and processes for identification, prioritization and best practices can be downloaded in the annex.
