**Contract type**: Consultant

**Duty Station**: Geneva

**Level**: Consultancy

**Location**: Switzerland

**Categories**: Child Protection, Social Policy, Partnerships, Emergency, Knowledge Management, Research, Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation

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.

Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

**For every child, **_an advocate._**

**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 strengthening professional standards, specialization of social workers and quality assurance. 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 the developing working methodologies and tools for child protection and frontline professionals (VA link here). The consultancies will be home-based with frequent country visits to meet with stakeholders, conduct analysis, and workshops/trainings.

Overall, the consultancy is for 22 days over the course of 6 months.

The consultant will support UNICEF RRO in Slovakia to implement outputs 3 of the signed work plan between UNICEF and MoLSAF. More specifically, the consultant will focus on the following area:
**Strengthen the capacities of the child protection system to support the social service workforce, standard development, and quality assurance.**

1.1. Review of domestic practices and international good practice examples:

- **Conduct the review** of the existing normative, policy and operational framework regarding the case load of the social service workforce including the typology of cases, number of cases, etc.
- **Analyze the ratio** of the refugee/Ukrainian children and families in the overall caseload and implications towards the overall workload and quality of work of social workers.
- Undertake the **mapping of the international best practices** on determining optimal social worker-case ratio, managing the workload of social workers (e.g. diversification of the workforce, various specialization approaches, etc.). Based on the local capacity assessment and international good practices, **prepare options for organizing/scaling up social service workforce for humanitarian emergencies**.
- Present the review and mapping outcomes to stakeholders (Ministry and the professional associations).

1.2. Support the implementation of
