Improving Care and Preventing Maltreatment of Orphans

"Interaction Competencies with Children - for Caregiver (ICC-C) aims to reduce maltreatment and to improve care quality in institutional care facilities. Following the idea of a train-the-trainer approach, ICC-C is designed to be delivered by trained local facilitators. ICC-C is based on attachment, behavioral and social learning theories.~The key principles are its feasibility in low-resource contexts, participatory approach, and practical orientation. ICC-C includes sessions on (a) caregiver-child interaction, (b) maltreatment prevention, (c) effective non-violent caregiving strategies, and (d) identifying and supporting burdened children."
