Children on the Move: Core Knowledge and Skills for Social Workers and Para Social Workers

This training resource from International Social Service (ISS-USA) is designed to support social workers, para social workers and advocates working with children in refugee, internal displacement, and international migration contexts. Created by a team of experts in international child protection, this training is designed as a stand-alone module that can be incorporated into existing social work curricula or national training programs for frontline social service workforce members.

About the Training

This free, standalone program addresses the unique challenges these children face, offering insights into, among others:

  • Key principles for working with children in migration and displacement contexts
  • Child-centered assessment, case planning, and service delivery with children on the move
  • Steps for supporting child-specific outcomes for children, including family reunification
  • Contextualized, practical strategies for navigating complex transnational cases

The Children on the Move Training Program offers valuable guidance for frontline work with children on the move and should be delivered by professionals in the field.
