GCRF_NF39: COVID-19 Child Abuse Prevention Emergency Response

COVID-19育儿项目将在COVID疫情期间覆盖DAC国家的5700万个家庭，提供基于证据的资源，以防止暴力侵害儿童和减少育儿压力。发展援助委员会国家正面临影响深远的新冠疫情，并出现周期性的封锁和学校关闭（Mahler，2020年）。全球各地的父母和照顾者都在极其紧张的条件下照顾儿童。即使是最安全的家庭也很难在长时间的封锁中管理孩子。压力、贫困、饮酒、密闭和拥挤的条件使暴力和身体暴力更加恶化（Meinck，2017年），所有这些都在COVID-19下加剧。联合国儿童基金会报告说，全球虐待儿童现象不断升级，对健康、社会和经济造成严重影响。我们将与世界卫生组织、联合国儿童基金会、结束暴力全球伙伴关系、联合国毒品和犯罪问题办公室、美国国际开发署、美国疾病控制中心和其他非政府组织，包括特奥会、世界无孤儿组织和当地的DAC国家社区组织合作，以：利用最佳证据，将已证明有效的育儿方案调整为可扩展的资源，供发援会国家使用。这将包括基于短信的系统和低数据红外或离线应用程序支持的家庭。2.通过与联合国机构、非政府组织和信仰组织的伙伴关系，向最初14个发援会国家的5700万个家庭提供育儿支助方案和资源。将资源翻译成相关的发援会国家语文，以便于采用。通过在线事前重复调查和深入的定性研究，评估交付机制、成本及其对减少暴力、养育和压力的影响。我们将实现研究转化的罕见成果：直接向DAC国家的5700万个家庭提供支持。这是非常物有所值的，在COVID-19期间，每个DAC家庭接受基于证据的暴力预防支持的成本不到一便士（0.008英镑）。

The COVID-19 Parenting project will reach 57 million families in DAC countries during the COVID epidemic, with evidence-based resources to prevent violence against children and reduce parenting stress. DAC countries are facing far-reaching COVID epidemics, with cyclical periods of lockdowns and school closures (Mahler, 2020). Parents and caregivers globally are caring for children under exceptionally stressful conditions. Even the most secure families are struggling to manage children within extended lockdowns. Shouting and physical violence are worsened by stress, poverty, alcohol use, confined and crowded conditions (Meinck, 2017), all heightened under COVID-19. UNICEF reports global escalation in child abuse, with severe health, social and economic impacts. We will work with the World Health Organisation, UNICEF, the Global Partnership to End Violence, UNODC, USAID, the US Centers for Disease Control and other NGOs including the Special Olympics, World Without Orphans and local DAC country community organisations to: 1. Adapt parenting programs with demonstrated effectiveness into scalable resources for DAC countries, using the best evidence. This will include text message-based systems and low-data ir or offline app support for families. 2. Deliver parenting support programs and resources to 57 million families in an initial 14 DAC countries, through partnerships with UN agencies, NGOs and faith-based organisations. Translate resources into relevant DAC country languages to facilitate uptake.3. Evaluate mechanisms of delivery, costs and their impact on reduction in violence, parenting and stress through online pre-post repeated surveys and in-depth qualitative research with families in DAC settings.We will achieve a rare outcome for research translation: direct delivery of support to 57 million families in DAC countries. It is exceptional value for money, with a cost to UKRI of less than one penny (£0.008) per DAC family receiving evidence-based violence prevention support during COVID-19.
