A
person

involving
a
female
but
should
there
be
special
instances
where
a
practitioner
of
the
opposite
sex
is
needed,
this
may
be
allowed
provided
that
the
female
client
agrees.
In
cases
involving
children,
elderly
and
persons-with-disability,
a
Social
Worker
should
be
present
to
facilitate
the
process,
especially
when
filling
in
Intake
questionnaires
and
when
questioning
children.
2. When
a
child
is
involved,
his/
her
best
interests
shall
be
the
paramount
consideration
at
all
times.
It
must
be
ensured
that
no
further
harm
shall
be
caused
on
the
child.
The
child
must
be
informed
and
made
to
understand
why
he/she

3. All

and
immediate
manner,
especially
when
involving
children.
In
cases
involving
children,
procedures
must
be
carried
out
within
24
hours
but
not
exceeding
72
hours
or
the
shortest
duration
possible.
If
the
24
hour
mandate
is
not
feasible,
any
government
employee
and/or
person
responsible
for
the
custody
of
the
child
should
inform
the
CWC
and/or
the
nearest
DSWD
office
that
there
are
children
in

/
involved.
Note:
In
accordance
with
the
GPH
Monitoring,

(GPH-MRRS),
a
child
must
be
turned
over
to
civilian
authority
(DSWD,
CWC
or
PNP)
at
the
soonest
possible
time.
4. Respect
and
Promotion
for
Traditional
IP
and
cultural
laws,
traditions,
customs,
practices
and
other
indigenous
cultural
systems,
most
especially
the
Right
to
Self-
Determination
and
FPIC.
When
an
indigenous
person
is
involved
or
in
custody,
procedures
are
to
be
conducted
in
IP's
own
language
or
in
a
language
understandable
to
the
client,
and/or
translators
and
interpreters
must
be
provided.
5. All
records
and
information
relating
to
a
case
must
be
kept
strictly
confidential,
especially
when
children
are
involved.
Nothing
must
be
disclosed
to
the
public
unless
there
was
a
formal,
written
consent
by
the
victim
/
survivor.
Children,
with
consideration
to
their
age
and
maturity,
must
be
informed
of
every
policy
and
procedure
involving
them
and
in
the
presence
of
a
recognized
adult
family
member
or
social
worker.
6. All
records
and
reports
must
be
securely
stored.
Only
those
in
authority
and
have
valid
reason
to
have
access
to
information
will
be
allowed
to
do
so.
With
regards
children
and
their
coverage
and
exposure
in
media,
existing
media
guidelines
for
minors
must
be
adhered
to.
7. Immediate
and
Adequate
Provision
of
Basic
Needs
and
Services
must
be
provided
to
members
of
most
vulnerable
groups
under
custody.
OPAPP Policy Unit
Draft v3 Oct 10 2015
Women,
Children,
Elderly,
Indigenous
People
and

must
have
equal
access
to

of
services
that

needs
(referring

requirements)
Child's
health
care
needs
based
on
stage
of
development
(i.e.
infant,
toddler,
pubescent,
young
adult,
etc.)
Elderly
and
Persons-with-disability
care,
especially
those
who
are
sick
and
suffering
from
ill
health
or
medical
conditions
which
need
immediate
or
regular
treatment
8. AFP
/
Military
quarters
and
camps
must
be
located
at
least
50
meters
away
from
schools,
churches
and
hospitals
(but
may
locate
themselves
in
an
advantageous
position
(i.e.
high
ground)
for
security
of
these
institutions).
Schools,
including
churches
and
hospitals,
are
not
to
be
utilized
for
any
military-related
functions,
including
storage
/
warehouses
of
equipment,
materiel,
etc.,
the
exception
to
this
being
schools
and
hospitals
located
inside
AFP
camps.
Special
Protection
Mechanisms
must
be
in
place
for
those
who
leave
armed
groups
(i.e.
Escaped
or
Surrendered)
and
those
who
are
survivors
and
witnesses
of
SGBV,
VAW
and
other
HRVs.
For
instance,
FRs
who
recently
surrendered
should
not
be
immediately
merged
with
the
other
FRS
in
temporary
shelters.
9. There
should
be
priority
and
express
lanes
for
pregnant
women,
Women
with
Children,
Elderly
and
Persons-with-disabilities.
10. Create
a
"Barrier-Free
Environment"
for
Elderly
and
Persons-with-disabilities
by
ensuring
the
accessibility
of
facilities
and
other
physical
spaces
through
construction
of
proper
railings,
ramps,
grab
bars,
etc.
with
appropriate
signage,
especially
at
entrances,
doors,
hallways,
restrooms
or
toilets,
waiting
areas
and
lobbies,
elevators
and
parking
lots
11. Except
in
the
case
of
families,
males
and
females
are
to
be
separated
in
detention
facilities,
as
well
as
Child
FRs,
should
there
be
any,
must
also
separate
from
the
Adults,
who
are
most
often
their
previous
commanders.
Women-
and
Child-friendly
spaces
must
be
provided
for
Nursing
/
Pregnant
Women
as
well
as
Children.
"Child-friendly"
spaces
may
be
similar
to
a
day-care
center,
with
play
area,
toys,
books
etc.
at
the
minimum.
Accordingly,
the
appropriate
location
and
placement
of
structures
within
a
facility
(i.e.
bathing
cubicles,
toilets,
breastfeeding
spaces,
kitchen,
recreation
spaces
and
other
"friendly-spaces")
must
consider
carefully
the
safety
and
security
of
MVGs.
The
establishment
of
crisis
centers
providing
support
groups
and
networks
is
also
recommended.
12. Tools,
forms,
questionnaires
and
all
other
documentation
tools
must
be
made
available
in
"accessible
formats"
i.e.
in
large
print
of
text
and
pictures,
Braille
and/or
multiple
languages.
They
should
also
be
made
available
in
various
media
platforms
such
as
print,
video,
web/social
media
and
audio.
13. Guides,
Readers,
Professional
Sign
Language
Interpreters
and/or
other
Interpreting
Services
should
be
made
available
to
readily
assist
Persons-with-Disabilities
and/or
the
Elderly,
when
needed.
14. Use
of
Gender-fair
and
disability-sensitive
language
(aka
"people-fist
language)
in
any
policy
and
document.
15. The
interests,
skills
and
special
needs
of
the
most
vulnerable
groups
must
be
considered
and
incorporated
in
the
crafting
of
policies
and
designing
of
programs.
Hence,
consultations
and
dialogues
with
the
members
of
most
vulnerable
groups
and/or
organizations
representing
them
must
be
conducted
in
order
to
identify
such
specific
needs.
Additionally,
conflict
analysis
tools
(including
Conflict-sensitive
and
Peace
Promoting
(CSPP)
and
gender
analysis
frameworks)
may
also
be
utilized
in
order
to
effectively
identify
and
address
the
roots
of
conflict.
16. Activities
must
be
conducted
to
raise
awareness
on
the
peace
and
security
issues
affecting
most
vulnerable
groups
and
their
important
role
in
peacemaking,
peacekeeping
and
peace
building.
OPAPP Policy Unit
Draft v3 Oct 10 2015
17. There
must
be
clear
and
regular
communication
with
the
clientele
(either
FR
or
community)
regarding:
the
intention
behind
programs
(and
packages)
as
well
as
its
impact
to
the
community
the
"benefits"
and/or
incentives
of
each
program
success
stories
/
best
practices
how
the
public
(CSOs,
Business
Sector,
etc)
can
"buy-in"
into
the
whole
process
18. Agencies
and
LGUs
should
disaggregate
data
on
two
levels:
19. Representation
of
the
most
vulnerable
groups
in
organizations
and
mechanisms
that
will
be
established
must
be
ensured.
Children,
however,
may
voluntarily
participate
in
any
process/procedure
involving
the
child
and
shall
be
regarded
with
respect
as
an
equal,
of
which
his/her
strengths,
abilities
and
interests
are
recognized.
20. Mechanisms
should
be
in
place
to
guarantee
the
active
and
meaningful
participation
of
Women,
Children,
Indigenous
People,
Elderly
and
Persons-with-disabilities
in
any
affair,
process
and/or
organization,
from
beginning
to
end
(from
conceptualization
/
planning
to
monitoring
and
evaluation),
most
especially
when
involving
decision-
making
matters
affecting
their
lives.
For
instance,
MVGs
and
civil
society
organizations
representing
them
and
their
interests
should
be
able
to
meaningfully
participate
in
monitoring
and
evaluation
of
programs,
projects
and
activities
(PPAs).
They
should
also
be
able
to
participate
in
all
stages
of
DDR
(from
program
development
to
implementation
to
monitoring
and
evaluation),
even
in
Community
Healing
and
Reconciliation
in
the
Transitional
Justice
processes.
