UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.

**Purpose of Activity/Assignment**
UNICEF Refugee Response Office in Slovakia (hereinafter UNICEF Slovakia RRO) is looking for a consultant to support the Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Family of the Slovak Republic (hereinafter MoLSAF) in implementing the activities outlined in the workplan between UNICEF and MoLSAF.
The main objective of the assignment is to support the Ministry of Labor, Social Affairs and Family of the Slovak Republic (MoLSAF), as well as the central and district level offices of labor, social affairs, and family to improve the quality of social work through development of working methodologies and tools for child protection and frontline professionals. The assignment focuses on improving the quality of work of the social services workforce with the Ukrainian children and children on the move in Slovakia, while also supporting the overall strengthening of the workforce capacity.
**Scope of Work**
More than 2 million people from Ukraine have crossed the Slovak border since the escalation of the war in Ukraine in February 2022. Currently, Slovakia hosts more than 110,000 Ukrainian Temporary Protection status holders, of which 32% are children and 50% are women. After 2 years of emergency, UNICEF and partners observed an increase in child protection cases that require an advanced response from professionals - which is typical for protracted emergencies where full inclusion of children in national systems and services has not yet been achieved. This emergency has also revealed and exacerbated preexisting systemic gaps and challenges in the child protection.
UNICEF is supporting the Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Family of the Slovak Republic (MoLSAF) to strengthen the capacity of the social service workforce to better handle the cases of Ukrainian children, improve the quality of social work, and support the system strengthening for better inclusion of all children (both Ukrainians and host). UNICEF has signed the work plan with MoLSAF to strengthen the role of the national government in child protection in humanitarian action and improve the capacity of the social services workforce to better work with children on the move.
The consultant will be supervised by the Child Protection Specialist. However, the consultant will work closely with the UNICEF child protection team, key Government stakeholders such as MoLSAF, Central Office of Labour, Social Affairs and Family (CoLSAF), and Offices of Labour, Social Affairs and Family on a district level (OlSAFs), as well as the judiciary system (Association of Family Judges, etc.). **Additionally, the consultant will work closely with a second consultant focusing on strengthening the capacities of the child protection system to support the social service workforce, standards development, and quality assurance** (VA link here) The consultancy will be home-based with frequent country visits to meet with stakeholders, conduct analysis, and workshops/trainings.
Overall, the consultancy is for 55 days over the course of 6 months.
The consultant will support UNICEF RRO in Slovakia to implement the output 4 of the signed work plan between UNICEF and MoLSAF. More specifically, the consultant will focus on the following area:
**Improve capacities (knowledge, skills and practices) of child protection and frontline professionals to ensure adequate care and safe environment for every child**:
1. Review of existing capacity building structures and content:
- **Review the existing capacity building mechanisms and programmes (pre-service and in-service)** for the social workers and allied professionals in the central and district level offices of labor, social affairs and family and the Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Family
- **Review the existing programmes used for capacity strengthening** with the view of inclusion of topics related to working with children on the move, and thematic content that supports current specialization arrangements of social workers.
2. Identify the ways to embed new training content into the existing capacity building mechanisms of MOSLAF and /or the Central Office of Labour, Social Affairs and Family:
- In cooperation with MOLSAF and the Central Office of Labour Social Affairs and Family, identify relevant training institutions, mechanisms and human resource capaci
