Rapid Assessment of the CRBP initiatives with private sector in Thailand (RTA)
Overview
Enterprises of all levels impact children, and child labour remains a concern in Thailand, along with a relatively nascent system of social protection for mothers in the workplace and for families to take care of their children. Children’s rights have not yet been sufficiently enshrined in the national legislature so as to protect children and families from the negative impacts in the workplace, the community, and the marketplace.
UNICEF Thailand, in its work to better inform and guide businesses towards mitigating the impacts on children and families, worked with the Stock Exchange of Thailand and Global Compact Network Thailand (GCNT), along with implementing partners Thaipat and the Sustainable Business Development Institute (SBDI) to engage businesses through a short training course on the Child Rights and Business (CRB) principles and how to apply them in a business context. The 2015-2021 training sessions, which included staff from dozens of publicly-listed companies, aimed to support businesses to carry out an impact assessment on their corporate impact on children and called on them to embed children’s rights considerations into their daily business practices. One of the primary goals of the initiatives was to facilitate these enterprises to include, in their annual reporting, information on how they uphold the CRBP and/or protect children’s rights. They were also developed to inform and educate the private sector on the CRBP, translating into better business practices for children.
To this end, UNICEF Thailand has called for a Rapid Assessment of its CRB training initiatives
