“…This differs from Western notions of the nuclear family, where full responsibility remains within the family. Fronek et al (2019) found that children's connections with the wider community were essential in reintegrating children back into families, and an important first step in a child protection system.…”

“…Families with lower risk, or those not meeting criteria, are referred to local authorities and support mechanisms in the community. As is frequently the case in resource-poor environments, there is insufficient infrastructure to meet all identified needs, poor service delivery and a workforce limited in its capacity (Fronek, et al, 2019). This makes decision-making about who will receive services fraught in cases where there is need, but not adequate resourcing.…”

An evaluation was undertaken of a case management pathway for a child protection organization in Cambodia to decrease service dependency. Save the Children’s ‘Steps to Protect’ was used as an evaluation framework to identify how the organization met the criteria for the core components of case management. These included identification and initial screening, case planning, implementation, and case review, and the findings show that a well-defined, staged process for case management actively reduces service dependency. The recommendations are that a staged case management pathway should be developed in child protection services as an approach for reducing service dependency.

“…Social work in Cambodia is an emerging profession, formal training programmes are a recent development and understanding of child protection is nascent. Para-social work is common as there are few qualified workers in communes or villages and varied levels of basic training (Fronek, Common, Smith Rotabi, & Statham, 2019). Societal structure is heavily grounded in communities and a collective society approach.…”

“…Families survive on minimal resources and food insecurity is common. Understanding of child protection in Cambodia is nascent, with residential care institutions (RCIs), known to the Global North as orphanages, presenting risks of child and family separation ( Fronek et al , 2019 ). Recent local research, undertaken by CFI as part of a community Harm Prevention campaign, funded by FCF/REaCT (submitted for publishing), suggested local communities view RCIs as positive places for children to grow up.…”

This article explores the experiences of social workers at a non-governmental organisation (NGO) involved in disaster responses to COVID-19 in a rural and resource-challenged region of Cambodia. The views of Khmer and international social workers in the NGO were gathered through an internal auditing process utilising survey and structured conversation methods. Key themes related to the importance of prioritising the safety of staff and clients, effective communication methods, responsiveness of case management systems, public health responses and adapting to emerging needs. To ensure responsiveness to future disaster events consideration should be given in strengthening partnerships, ensuring case management systems are effective for current use but able to be adapted in new circumstances, and that preparation incorporates a focus on diversified funding streams and open communication channels between staff and management. These elements will enable social workers to continue their practice, reassured and with the flexibility required in the post-disaster context.
