The Dominican Red Cross has piloted the IFRC's Child School Trust Index. The Child School Trust Index measures children’s trust in school protection and early warning systems in disaster-prone and conflict-affected contexts. By using trust data, the Child School Trust Index enhances the participation and perspectives of children of diverse ages, genders, and backgrounds, particularly those who are marginalized. The Child School Trust Index builds-on, supports and reinforces the Community Trust Index, an evidence-based tool developed by the IFRC to measure and foster trust in humanitarian action.
