About this Handbook
This Handbook was drafted to provide standard operating procedures for the conduct of the Child-
Friendly Local Governance Audit. Specifically, it is a guide for the members of the Inter-Agency
Monitoring Task Force (IMTF) members towards successfully assessing the performance of City
and Municipal Local Government Units in the delivery of programs and services for the realization
of the rights of Filipino children to survival, development, protection, and participation.
The initial content of the Handbook was identified during a write-shop participated in by the CFLGA
Core Group. This was followed by a country-wide pilot testing of the Handbook to ensure ease of
understanding from among City and Municipal LGUs that will be the primary users. After which, it
underwent a series of review and refinement from the CFLGA Core Group and Board members of
the Council for the Welfare of Children before finalization.
The Handbook provides for the following: (i) legal bases of the basic social services required from
the City and Municipal LGUs; (ii) indicators that reflects both the LGU’s performance and the local
situation of children; this includes technical definitions and rating guideline; (iii) implementing
procedures or the steps to be undertaken as the audit is conducted from the local level up to its
submission to the national level; and (iv) institutional arrangement for the audit and expected
support from the national government agencies. Complementing this are the glossary and annexes
of illustrative/documentary examples or requirements that may be used to corroborate the
veracity of the reported data.
Finally, this Handbook may be used by Provincial, City, and Municipal LGUs, communities, civil
society organizations (CSOs), and institutions as reference in reviewing and assessing the quality
of local governance for children in their respective locale.

Child-Friendly Local Governance Audit Handbook
I. Background
Following the recommendations of the 2012 study entitled “Towards More Effective Local
Councils for the Protection of Children (LCPCs) in Child Rights Responsive Governance in
the Philippines”, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the
Council for the Welfare of Children (CWC) developed and launched the Child-Friendly Local
Governance Audit (CFLGA) in 2014.1 The CFLGA is a results-based assessment tool and an
annual mandatory audit designed to gauge the level of performance of local government
units (LGUs) insofar as implementing programs and instituting measures to uplift the
welfare status of children.
The CFLGA is also one of the strategies identified in achieving a “Child-Friendly Philippines:
A Caring and Protective Society for, by, and with the Children” 2 as it satisfies the key
elements of responsive structures and systems and a knowledge management system
(KMS). 3 Child-Friendly Philippines as a framework promotes child-friendly local governance
which means that the LGU gives priority to children in planning, budgeting, legislation and
delivery of services and is able to realize children’s rights to survival, development,
protection and participation. It also requires the involvement of different stakeholders at
various levels as it links children’s programs to broader national development plan/s and
strategy/ies.
Under the CFLGA, the LGUs are assessed based on set indicators. The audit process
involves an Inter-Agency Monitoring Task Force (IMTF) at different levels that does (i) data
gathering at the city/municipal level, (ii) data validation and review at the provincial and
regional levels, and (iii) table evaluation and conferment at the national level.
LGUs that pass the CFLGA are conferred with the Seal of Child-Friendly Local Governance
(SCFLG) by the CWC Board. The SCFLG is a requirement for both the Seal of Good Local
Governance (SGLG) 4 and the Presidential Award for Child-Friendly Municipalities and Cities
(PACFMC). 5

DILG Memorandum Circular (MC) 2014-80
2
Child-Friendly Philippines is the advocacy and programming framework adopted by the national government to
respond to both national and international commitments for children.
3
Functional structures and systems for child rights promotion and child protection are in place at all levels; this
includes LCPCs at all levels – barangay, municipal, city, and provincial. This is to ensure that monitoring and
evaluation, research, reporting and knowledge management systems on children are operational and well-
coordinated at all levels.
4
The SCFLG became a requirement under the SGLG core area of Social Protection through DILG MC 2017-53.
5
Pursuant to Executive Order (EO) 184 series of 1999, the Presidential Award, initiated and managed by the
CWC, is conferred to deserving LGUs in recognition of their vital role in the sustained promotion of children’s
rights as well as in ensuring child-friendly governance.

II. Legal Basis and Framework
Local Government Code of 1991

LGUs, specifically, the cities and municipalities, through the Local Government Code of
1991 (Republic Act 7160) have the critical role of providing basic social services to its
constituents. Specifically, LGUs should “Ensure and support, among other things, the
preservation and enrichment of culture, promote health and safety, enhance the right of
the people to a balanced ecology, encourage and support the development of appropriate
and self-reliant scientific and technological capabilities, improve public morals, enhance
economic prosperity and social justice, promote full employment among their residents,
maintain peace and order, and preserve the comfort and convenience of their
inhabitants.” 6 In line with this, LGUs have the following explicitly stated mandate:
• Implement programs and projects on:

o Primary health care, maternal and child care, and communicable and non-
communicable disease control services; access to secondary and tertiary
health services; purchase of medicines, medical supplies, and equipment
needed to carry out the services herein enumerated. 7
o Child and youth welfare, family and community welfare, women's welfare,
welfare of the elderly and disabled persons; community-based
rehabilitation programs for vagrants, beggars, street children, scavengers,
juvenile delinquents, and victims of drug abuse; livelihood and other pro-
poor projects; nutrition services; and family planning services. 8 The LGUs,
specifically the Barangays, are also mandated to adopt measures for the
prevention and eradication of drug abuse, child abuse, and juvenile
delinquency. 9
• Provide for the following:

o Proper development and welfare of children in the Barangay by promoting
and supporting activities for the protection and total development of
children, particularly those below seven (7) years of age. 10 This includes the
establishment of a non-formal education center in the Barangay whenever
feasible, in coordination with the DECS. 11
o Municipal buildings, cultural centers, public parks including freedom parks,
playgrounds, and sports facilities and equipment, and other similar
facilities. 12 As well as infrastructure facilities intended primarily to service
the needs of the residents… school buildings and other facilities for public

o Measures to protect the inhabitants of the municipality from the harmful
effects of man-made or natural disasters and calamities and to provide
relief services and assistance for victims during and in the aftermath of said
disasters or calamities and their return to productive livelihood following
said events. 14
o Approve ordinances which shall ensure efficient and effective delivery of
basic services and facilities…and in addition, shall: establish a scholarship
fund for poor but deserving students;15 and provide for the care of paupers,
the aged, the sick, persons of unsound mind, disabled persons, abandoned
minors, juvenile delinquents, drug dependents, abused children and other
needy and disadvantaged persons, particularly children and youth below
eighteen (18) years of age and, subject to availability of funds, establish and
provide for the operation of centers and facilities for said needy and
disadvantaged persons. 16
AmBisyon 2040 and the Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022

On 11 October 2016, AmBisyon Natin 2040 was approved and adopted as a guide for
development planning under Executive Order (EO) No. 5, s. 2016. It represents the
collective long-term vision and aspirations of the Filipino people for themselves and for the
country in the next 25 years, specifically,
“In 2040, we will all enjoy a stable and comfortable lifestyle, secure in the
knowledge that we have enough for our daily needs and unexpected expenses, that
we can plan and prepare for our own and our children’s future. Our family lives
together in a place of our own, and we have the freedom to go where we desire,
protected and enabled by a clean, efficient and fair government.”
Relative to that, the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2017-2022 provides for the
operationalization of AmBisyon 2040. The PDP has identified malasakit or enhancing the
social fabric, pagbabago or reducing inequality, and patuloy na pag-unlad as key strategies
towards aforementioned vision along with some supporting and bedrock strategies. 17

Supporting Strategies include the following (i) ensure a sound, stable, and supportive macroeconomic
environment, and (ii) level the playing field through a National Competition Policy. Bedrock Strategies, on the
other hand, include (i) attain just and lasting peace; (ii) ensure security, public order, and safety, (iii) accelerate
infrastructure development, and (iv) ensure ecological integrity, clean, and healthy environment.

• Under malasakit,
o Public offices will be characterized as people-centered, efficient and
clean. 18 Key items include ensuring that offices are equipped with adequate
facilities, trained personnel and improved systems to ensure the prompt
delivery of services as well as empowering citizens to engage with the
government, thus, warranting participatory governance.
o Administration of justice will be perceived as swift and fair 19 that will adopt
a sector approach to ensure that processes are streamlined and
harmonized across the different agencies and branches of government.
• Under pagbabago,
o Individuals and people groups will have more options to develop their full
potential as aimed for. 20 Key items include improved nutritional and health
status through access to proper care at all life stages, sustained health
financing programs, and lifelong learning opportunities made available to
all through infrastructure and improved quality of higher and technical
education.
o Vulnerability of individuals will be reduced. 21 Children, along with the
elderly, persons with disability (PWDs), and pregnant women are
considered vulnerable.
o Communities will be more resilient. 22
• Under patuloy na pag-unlad,

o Potential growth can be further enhanced by accelerating the full harvest
of the demographic dividend. 23 This includes strategies such as (i)
aggressive efforts to ensure that family size can be adequately cared and
provided for, (ii) age-appropriate sexuality education, (iii) availability of
information and orientation programs on responsible parenthood and
reproductive health, and (iv) easier access to services to fully meet the need
for modern family planning methods.
National Plan of Action for Children 2017-2022

The 3rd National Plan of Action for Children (NPAC) 2017-2022 is an action plan to
operationalize the vision for the Filipino children stated in Child 21. 24 Its goals are as
follows: (1) for children to have a better quality and improved way of life; (2) that children

are well nourished, have healthy lives and are active learners with good quality education;
(3) that children are safe and free from violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation; and (4)
that children are actively participating in decision-making processes affecting their lives
according to their evolving capacities.
Sustainable Development Goals

The 2030 agenda for sustainable development is a plan of action with seventeen (17)
identified goals for people, planet, and prosperity. The Philippines, as a State Member, has
committed to implementing programs towards achieving said goals through the strategies
identified in both the PDP and the 3rd NPAC. Specifically, the CFLGA can be used as a tool
to localize and contribute to the following goals:
• Zero hunger or ending all forms of malnutrition and address the nutritional needs
of adolescent girls, pregnant and lactating women and older persons (SDG 2);
• Ensuring healthy lives by providing universal access to sexual and reproductive
health services (SDG 3);
• Inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning
opportunities (SDG 4);
• Gender Equality with particular focus on children in need of special protection (SDG
5);
• Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions (SDG 16) and in particular, ending abuse,
exploitation, trafficking and all forms of violence against and torture of children
(SDG 16.2);
• Making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
through the adoption and implementation of local disaster risk reduction strategies
(SDG 11); and
• Ensuring responsive, inclusive, participatory and representative decision-making at
all levels. 25

III. Objectives
The objective of the CFLGA is to assess the performance of the LGU in implementing child-
friendly policies, programs, projects, and services. More specifically, it seeks to:
• Determine the level of performance of the LGUs;

• Identify priority areas to improve the situation of children;
• Utilize CFLGA result as basis for planning and programming;
• Determine areas for technical and/or financial assistance; and
• Recognize good LGU performers.
The CFLGA data and results may serve as the basis for LGUs and national government
agencies (NGAs) to identify strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities in child rights
responsive governance which can answer the following strategic points:
• What the LGUs are [currently] doing;
• What the LGUs should be doing;
• What the LGUs can do more; and
• How the NGAs can support the LGUs.

IV. Assessment Criteria
Cognizant of the LGU functions, national plans and international commitments, all City and
Municipal LGUs shall be assessed using the following indicators categorized under the four
(4) core rights of children (survival, development, protection, and participation) and
governance.

V. Rating System
The following section provides technical notes and describes the procedure for computing
the score for each indicator. Data to be audited is from the previous year’s performance,
meaning, if the audit is being done in 2019, report should cover actual data from 2018. The
indicated ratings are based on national standards but will be computed using the actual
data of the LGU. Data is to be validated using the identified means of verification (MOV)
which shall be included as an attachment to the CFLGA Data Capture Form (DCF). No score
shall be given for lacking or non-available data.
Survival
Indicator 1.1. Percentage coverage of Fully Immunized Children aged 12 months old
Fully immunized children are infants who received one dose of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin
(BCG), three doses each of oral polio vaccine (OPV), diphtheria, pentavalent vaccine, and
two (2) doses of measles containing vaccine (MCV) at nine (9) months and twelve (12)
months old.

Therefore, the score is 2.00.

Scenario (1): In case the LGU reports the lack of supplies for immunization owing to
logistical concerns of the health system, the IMTF may give consideration (1
point) provided the LGU can show proof of received request for the supplies
[vaccines] needed dated a quarter prior to the audit.
Scenario (2): In instances wherein the child transfers to another LGU before being fully
immunized, the child is counted in the LGU where he/she completes the
immunization. The Target Client List (TCL) record in the Barangay Health
Station (BHS) should be able to show where the child’s immunizations were
taken prior to his/her transfer. As to the original LGU where the child came
from, its total population should not include the aforementioned child.
Indicator 1.2. Prevalence of malnutrition among children aged 0-59 months old
Operation Timbang (OPT) Plus is the annual weighing and height measurement of all
preschoolers 0-59 months old or below five years old in a community to identify and locate
the malnourished children. Data generated through OPT Plus are used for local nutrition
action planning, particularly in quantifying the number of malnourished and identifying
who will be given priority interventions in the community. Moreover, results of OPT Plus
provide information on the nutritional status of the preschoolers and the community in
general, thus, providing information on the effectiveness of the local nutrition program.

10
The score is 1.00 and the audit team can proceed to rate the nutritional
status. However, if the OPT Plus coverage falls below 80%, the LGU has no
score for this indicator since it is possible that the majority of malnourished
children are those who were not included in the OPT Plus.
Stunting is a condition where the child’s height is lower than the standard height of a child
of the same age and is measured using height-for-age as an index, where height-for-age is
less than two standard deviations (<-2SD) of standards median.
Wasting is condition where the child’s weight is lower relative to his/her height or length
than the standard measurement of a child using weight-for-height as the index, where
weight-for-height is <-2SD of standards median.
Overweight is a condition where the child’s weight is higher than the standard weight of a
child of the same height or length and is measured using weight-for-height, where the
weight-for-height is >2SD of standards median.

Therefore, the total score for this indicator is 1.50 from adding the points
for the OPT Plus coverage, 1.00, and the Overweight, 0.50.
Scenario: In case the child is reported to have multiple forms of malnutrition, i.e.
stunted-overweight or wasted-stunted, reporting must be done per
malnutrition prevalence, i.e. if child is stunted-wasted, he/she will be
counted under Stunting and Wasting separately. There will be no double
reporting as the malnutrition prevalence is compared to the total number
of children measured and will not be summed.
Indicator 1.3. Percentage coverage of pregnant adolescents provided with prenatal and
postpartum services
An adolescent is a person who experiences the period of adolescence, the period in human
growth and development that occurs after childhood and before adulthood, which begins
with the onset of physiologically normal puberty, and ends when an adult identity and
behavior are accepted. This period of development corresponds roughly to the period
between the ages of ten (10) and nineteen (19) years. For this indicator, data will use the
DOH bracket of 10-14 and 15-19 years old. 31
Indicator 1.3.1. Percentage coverage of pregnant adolescents provided with prenatal

services
Prenatal services. The first prenatal check-up must be done during the first trimester (as
soon as pregnancy is confirmed) so that preventive, promotive health interventions such
as micronutrient supplementation, screening for complications will be given in the earliest
possible time. There should be at least four (4) prenatal visits as follows:
• 1st trimester 32 = at least 1 check-up
• 2nd trimester 33 = at least 1 check-up
• 3rd trimester 34 = at least 2 check-ups
Women in their 1st to 5th month of pregnancies, regardless of age, are encouraged to have
their pregnancy (prenatal) and birthing (labor, delivery, postpartum) supervised by a
doctor in a hospital.

Scenario (1): In instances where the pregnant adolescent transfers to another LGU, she
is counted in the LGU where she completes the four prenatal visits. The
Pregnancy Tracking Form as well as the TCL should be able to show where
and when the adolescent has availed of said service. As to the original LGU
where the adolescent came from, its total population should not include
her.
Scenario (2): The four prenatal visits are complied with during the last trimester only due
to social considerations, i.e. tinago at nahihiya. No point shall be given to
the LGU as the indicator aims to ensure quality antenatal service by
diligently following the aforementioned schedule. Moreover, Barangay
Health Workers (BHWs) and local midwives are usually able to track where
these adolescents are.

Development
Indicator 2.1. Percentage coverage of children aged 3-4 years old provided with early
childhood care and development (ECCD) services, both public and privately managed, and
may be center, home, or community-based.
ECCD Program refers to the various services of health, nutrition, early education, child
protection, social services development and human development that may be conducted
as center-based programs or home-based programs by various ECCD Service Providers.
• Center-based programs refer to programs such as the day care service established
under the Barangay-Level Total Development and Protection Act (RA 6972), and
hereinafter referred to as the child development service, community or church-
based early childhood education programs initiated by NGOs or people’s
organizations, workplace-related child care and education programs, child-minding
centers and stations. 36
• Home-based programs refer to programs which utilize parents as the primary
service providers for ECCD such as the neighborhood-based play groups, family
child care programs, parent education and home visiting programs.

Scenario (1): In case the child is enrolled in another LGU or in a private center, then
he/she is still counted as a child enrolled in an ECCD service. The indicator
is aimed at identifying whether all children aged 3-4 years old are enrolled
in an ECCD service regardless of modality or service provider.
Scenario (2): In case the LGU reports that there are no children aged 3-4 years old in the
City/Municipality, the IMTF may look for the age-aggregated population
data or a Certification from the from the Planning Office or the LSWDO/
ECCD Focal Person.
Indicator 2.2. Presence of ECCD services in all barangays, either private or publicly-managed,
in any of the following modality - center/facility, home, community, or other modalities.
Child Development Center/Learning Center (CDC/LC) is an early learning center, public or
private, that offers early education and/or child care program for the 0 to 4 years old
children who are taught by a Child Development Teacher/Worker (CDT/CDW).
• Private CDCs/LCs are those established and owned by Corporations, Associations,
Religious Groups, Mission Boards, Non-Government Organizations and People’s
Organizations. These are managed and supervised by an Administrator/
Director/Principal of the Center.
• Public CDCs are those established by the LGUs, NGAs, and Government-Owned and
Controlled Corporations (GOCCs). These are supervised by the Local Social Welfare
and Development Officer (LSWDO) / ECCD Focal Person or any designated person
by the Office concerned.

Scenario: The presence of multiple centers or services in a barangay is counted as one

(1). In the same manner, the center or service of a barangay that serves as
catchment areas for adjacent and contiguous barangays is also counted as
one (1). The indicator requires that all barangays, regardless of modality,
have at least one (1) ECCD program or service available.
Sub-Indicator 2.2.2 Percentage of accredited or recognized center-based ECCD services

Government authority requires all CDCs/LCs to register and undergo an evaluation process
for the issuance of permit and recognition to ensure that quality care and early education
programs to young children, ages 0 to 4 years old are provided and maintained as stated
in these standards.
• Accreditation is a process by which CDCs/LCs are granted recognition as meeting
certain predetermined standards of quality or excellence.
• Recognition refers to the authorization granted by the ECCD Council for the CDC/LC
to conduct early childhood programs for the 0 to 4 years old based on the
Guidelines on Registration and Granting of Permit and Recognition issued by the
ECCD Council. The recognition process includes both internal and external
evaluation.

Focal Person and the CDT/W or Administrator/Principal/Director of
the public or private CDC/LC, respectively;
• Proof of request for the external assessment and reason for the
delay in the site visit.
Scenario (2): As regards expiration of accreditation, LGUs know when this would happen
and should have been able to prepare for re-accreditation before its actual
expiration or immediately after it. However, if accreditation expired in the
4th quarter (November or December) of the year being audited, then this
should suffice as covering the whole year.

Indicator 2.3. Percentage of out-of-school children and youth (OSCY) assisted for enrolment/
re-enrolment to school37, ALS, or other flexible learning options
Out-of-school children and youth are considered more at-risk to abuse, neglect and
exploitation, thus, requiring special attention.
Flexible learning options, currently called alternative delivery mode (ADM), provides
opportunities for pupils/students to continue their schooling with consideration to their
circumstances. This includes Open High School Program (OHSP), Instructional
Management by Parents, Community and Teachers (IMPACT), modified in-school/off-
school approach (MISOSA), rural farm schools, and the like.
Alternative learning system (ALS) is another mode of learning to cater to OSCY who cannot
afford to pay tuition fees in regular schools. Under ALS, learning can take place anytime
and anyplace, depending on the convenience and availability of the learners, and managed
by ALS learning facilitators.

school.
Protection
Indicator 3.1. Management of reported cases of children in need of special protection.
Case management is a procedure to plan, seek, and monitor services from different social
agencies and staff on behalf of a client (refer to the Glossary for the different categories of
children in need of special protection). 38 The LCPC, an inter-agency local body which
includes the LSWDO and the Women and Children Protection Desk/Unit (WCPD/U), is one
of the main respondents against child abuse. 39 A case file containing all information and
notes [on the case] shall be kept by the LSWDO and the WCPD which must be treated with
utmost confidentiality. Detailed documentation related to such cases shall only be shared
with the authorities and concerned agencies following strict and confidentiality protocols.
The LGU shall ensure provision of appropriate, immediate and long-term interventions,
including but not limited to the following:
• Medical assistance;
• Counseling;
• Psychosocial services;
• Protective custody;
• Emergency or temporary shelter;
• Residential care and other alternative parental care;

VI. Passing Rate

LGUs that will pass the CFLGA will be conferred with the Seal of Child-Friendly Local
Governance (SCFLG) by the CWC Board. The SCFLG is a core requirement under the Social
Protection criteria of the SGLG. 53 Moreover, LGUs conferred with the SCFLG will be
qualified or eligible to vie for the Presidential Award for Child-Friendly Municipalities and
Cities. 54
The passing rate for the CFLGA is 80% with the following minimum required score per
indicator category:
Category Full Score Minimum

(Indicator) Requirement
Survival 15.00 12.00
Development 15.00 12.00
Protection 15.00 12.00
Participation 15.00 12.00
Governance 40.00 32.00
Total 100.00 80.00
Condition: If an LGU fails to meet the minimum requirement in any of the categories,
the final rating will not be considered even if it meets the passing rate of 80%.
Example:
Category
LGU A LGU B
(Indicator)
Survival 10.00 15.00
Development 15.00 12.00
Protection 15.00 14.00
Participation 9.00 12.00
Governance 35.00 35.00
Total Score 84.00 88.00
In the given example, LGU B is able to pass as it fulfills the minimum requirement
for all the categories with a total score of 88.00. LGU A, on the other hand, achieved
a total score of 84.00 which is above the passing rate of 80.00, however, its scores
for survival and participation are below the minimum requirement at only 10.00
and 9.00, respectively. Therefore, LGU A has not passed the audit.
53
SCFLG recipients are eligible to access the Performance Challenge Fund (PCF) through the SGLG. Through this
funding window, support fund can be provided for the LGU’s local development initiative/s on children.

Child Friendly Local Governance Audit Handbook
Regional and Provincial Orientations on the Revised CFLGA
Glossary
Adolescent is a person who experiences the period of adolescence, the period in human growth
and development that occurs after childhood and before adulthood, which begins with the onset
of physiologically normal puberty, and ends when an adult identity and behavior are accepted.
This period of development corresponds roughly to the period between the ages of ten (10) and
nineteen (19) years (3rd NPAC).
Annual Local State of Children’s Report renders an accounting of the accomplishments of the
past year, the implementation of the programs/projects for children as well as the Local Code
for Children, the present status of children in the locality and the priorities of the local chief
executive for the succeeding year.
Children refer to persons below eighteen (18) years of age or those over but are unable to fully
take care of himself or herself, or protect themselves from abuse, neglect, cruelty, exploitation,
or discrimination because of physical or mental disability or condition (RA 7610).
Child Development Center/Learning Center (CDC/LC) is an early learning center, public or private,
that offers early education and/or child care program for the 0 to 4 years old children who are
taught by a Child Development Teacher/Worker (CDT/CDW).
1. Private CDCs/LCs are those established and owned by Corporations, Associations, Religious
Groups, Mission Boards, Non-Government Organizations and People’s Organizations.
These are managed and supervised by an Administrator/ Director/Principal of the Center.
2. Public CDCs are those established by the LGUs, NGAs, and Government-Owned and
Controlled Corporations (GOCCs). These are supervised by the Local Social Welfare and
Development Officer (LSWDO) / ECCD Focal Person or any designated person by the
Office concerned.
Child-Friendly Local Governance means that the LGU gives priority to children in planning,
budgeting, legislation and delivery of services and is able to assure that all children possess
the following rights classified as survival, development, protection and participation rights and
their needs are realized (CFLGA).
Child Protection refers to preventing and responding to violence, exploitation, and abuse against
children including commercial sexual exploitation, trafficking, child labor and harmful traditional

psychological2, physical 3, cruelty, sexual 4 and emotional abuse; any act or deed
which debases, degrades or demeans the intrinsic worth and dignity of a child as a
human being; unreasonable deprivation of his/her basic needs for survival, such as
food and shelter; or failure to immediately give medical treatment to an injured
child resulting in serious impairment of his/her growth and development or in
his/her permanent incapacity or death.
• Neglected or the failure to provide, for reasons other than poverty, adequate food,
clothing, shelter, basic education or medical care so as to seriously endanger the
physical, mental, social and emotional growth and development of the child;
• Exploited which includes commercial sexual exploitation (prostitution and
pornography), economic (child labor), trafficking and other exploitative situations
2. Child at Risk (CAR) refers to a child who is vulnerable to and at risk of committing criminal
offenses because of personal, family and social circumstances, such as, but not limited to,
