Comprehensive, rights-based and child-centred care, recovery and reintegration programmes 2015, para. 18
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- For the purpose of the present study, "care, recovery and reintegration programmes" refer to the full range of policies and services that are necessary to ensure the physical, cognitive, psychological, psychosocial and spiritual recovery, and the full social reintegration, of child victims. Care and recovery include: (a) immediate and crisis needs (e.g. immediate safety, emergency shelter, basic necessities, language interpretation, emergency medical and psychological care and legal aid); (b) ongoing needs (e.g. physical and mental health, substance abuse problems, safety, transitional housing, legal and immigration issues, language needs); and (c) long-term needs (e.g. education, vocational training and life skills, permanent housing, family reunification or alternative care arrangements). Care and recovery should be envisaged simultaneously as they are constituents of immediate relief for child victims. The notion of social reintegration refers to medium- to long-term care. It emphasizes the need for child victims to be able to return to the social fabric (e.g. home or biological family, or a new community) and to be protected from discrimination because of their experiences during exploitation. For the purpose of the present study, a child means every human being below the age of 18 years, as stipulated in article 1 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
