Committees for the Social Protection of Children and Adolescents
The Committees for the Social Protection of Children and Adolescents are bodies for the implementation of the policies of the Community Councils, particularly aimed at addressing and resolving the various situations of vulnerability faced by children and adolescents within the community. Its main role lies in helping to articulate and implement action plans in this area, also in coordination with other Committees, such as the Committee on Protection and Social Equality. Thus, it performs functions such as collecting and quantifying statistical data on vulnerable people (people with disabilities, terminally ill, elderly in extreme poverty, early pregnancies, out-of-school children, etc.). It is also responsible for developing an action plan based on participatory community diagnosis, as well as the monitoring and evaluation of the action plan to solve extreme situations.
