Gatekeeping in SOS Children’s Villages

The main purpose of this course is to enable SOS co-workers who play a role in gatekeeping to get a better understanding and effectively implement that process according to the relevant guidelines.

You will get orientation on how these Gatekeeping Guidelines are implemented in SOS Children’s Villages.

This aims at ensuring that each child in our programme is cared for in the most suitable care setting.

This will help you get a clear picture of what the implementation of the Gatekeeping Guidelines means in particular situations. After completing this e-learning course, you will be able to contribute to implementing the SOS Gatekeeping Guidelines and fulfill your part and your particular role in the gatekeeping process.
