Get in touch with UNICEF Canada

Before you begin survey planning, visit the survey portal and let UNICEF Canada know you are interested in the Community Child and Youth Well-being Survey. While this toolkit is intended to provide turnkey guidelines and resources to help communities implement the survey independently, community representatives must discuss and sign a licensing agreement with UNICEF Canada. UNICEF Canada will then provide a package including the survey question catalogue and the required Consent and Information Release Forms (available in English and French). The community signatories are then responsible to fulfill the terms of the agreement as the project proceeds. 

One of the requirements in the UNICEF Canada Licensing Agreement is that the community partners create a Child and Youth Safeguarding Protocol. The purpose is to plan and operationalize to anticipate and mitigate possible risks and keep children and youth safe when they are engaged in community survey activities, online and offline. Models may exist in community youth organizations and could be adapted for the survey with advice from young people. Steering Committee members and other relevant team members may also take UNICEF’s short, free online course.
