Disability Steering Committee
The Disability Steering Committee is a group of CP AoR members. Its main objective is to support CP AoR counterparts in implementing disability inclusion in child protection programs.
Tip Sheet of Disability Inclusion
This tip sheet has been developed to assist child protection actors in their programming to ensure it is disability inclusive. Evidence suggests that in every context, approximately 13% of people are living with a disability. This is likely to be much higher in a context such as Myanmar where conflict and landmines are prevalent. Over a third of household have at least one member with a disability. As child protection actors it is critical we are supporting all children including children and caregivers living with a disability.

People with Disabilities
This publication was developed as a continuation of the research project Protect Us!, funded by Plan International Norway, Plan International UK and Plan International Finland and carried out by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. This research project documented violence against children with disabilities and their lack of access to protection. One important recommendation that came out of the research is the need to consult with children and youth with disabilities. This guideline is a resource to support inclusive communication with children and youth with disabilities.
