Advice & Support
If you would like technical assistance on any kind of challenge you are currently facing in child protection in emergencies, you can either:
- ask for advice and examples via the CPWG discussion forum, or
- contact an expert from the CPWG technical helpdesk.
Please note that the technical helpdesk is available to support field based coordination groups, rather than answer individual queries. The helpdesk advisors have volunteered from different CPWG member agencies to provide technical assistance to support interagency work at field level, and can be contacted directly – although you should also copy your message to Katy Barnett, the CPWG coordinator (cbarnett@unicef.org).
