Already, the Ministry has published an Expression Of Interest (EOI) seeking viable consultants to design, based both on international and local practices, the protocol to outline the procedural steps for staffers of the Human Services Ministry – including those who partner with the Ministry – for access to care and support for the migrant families.
According to the EOI, the protocols, including for matters related to issues where children may need to be included in a formal residential care setting, must be guided by national laws and policies such as the Protection of Children’s Act and the National Policy related to Alternative Care for Children who are in need of adequate parental care.
