Description

Online child sexual exploitation (CSE) is a global crime requiring a coordinated global response by governments, the technology industry and civil society. The WePROTECT Global Alliance is the international initiative brought together by the UK to tackle this crime. The strategic direction and objectives of WePROTECT Global Alliance were set out in our published strategy of July 2016 (www.weprotect.org/strategylaunch).

The WePROTECT Global Alliance Model National Response (the Model) is the first globally available tool by which countries can assess their current approach and the capabilities they need to deliver a genuinely comprehensive approach, by combining the work of all national stakeholders in the areas of policy and governance, law enforcement, societal responses, victim care, industry and the media. In addition to supporting countries directly, the Model is used to prioritise and assess bids for capacity building by the Fund to End Violence Against Children, to which the UK has donated £40 million.

Countries signed up to the WePROTECT Global Alliance have committed to develop and report biennially on their progress towards developing a comprehensive national response to online CSE. To help them achieve this we are, therefore, now seeking to develop a self-assessment tool, which will be aligned to the existing MNR guidance document. This will enable countries to undertake their self-assessments and identify the capability gaps they need to fill.

We are looking to procure a service provider who will develop a rigorous, user tested and globally applicable self-assessment tool. The service providers will be expected to work collaboratively with the WePROTECT Global Alliance secretariat.
