RD4C

Identifying ways to use RD4C tools to protect children and promote the responsible handling of data for and about children.

OVERVIEW: Responsible Data for Children (RD4C) is a collaboration between UNICEF and The GovLab at New York University to highlight and support best practices around the responsible handling of data for and about children. RD4C’s work entails the development of tools and resources that can be used by data practitioners to operationalize the RD4C Principles and otherwise promote best practices. These light-weight, user-friendly tools target activities such as ecosystem mappings, decision provenance mappings, ethical assessments, opportunity and risk diagnostics that are essential to protecting children in various settings. Yet, there remain many data practitioners who are unsure of how to deploy these tools within the institutions and contexts in which they operate.To make these tools more accessible and understandable to UNICEF, its partners, and all those working on issues related to children’s data protection, RD4C is hosting a virtual RD4C Toolkit Webinar. Led by The GovLab’s Stefaan Verhulst and UNICEF’s Eugenia Olliaro, attendees will be guided through how and where to apply its tools to support their work. Attendees will be taken through the existing tools and their respective function/purpose, and will have a chance to see how they were implemented by others in real-case scenarios.OBJECTIVES:The RD4C Toolkit Webinar will enable participants to:<ul><li>Understand and explain the need to promote responsible data approaches when handling data for and about children and the unique challenges around this data;</li><li>Assess which tools are most effective in which situations and what prerequisites are required to generate the most value from RD4C;</li><li>Apply the various RD4C tools to the unique contexts in which they operate;</li><li>Hear from data practitioners who have used the tools in the field to promote responsible handling of data for and about children.</li></ul>STRUCTURE:The RD4C Toolkit Webinar will be a 90-minute virtual meeting, facilitated by Zoom and open to UNICEF staff, its partners, and all those working on issues related to children’s data governance.

In the last 30 minutes, participants will hear from a rights-based organizations working with children’s data who has used some RD4C tool in the areas they operate. This speaker will allow participants to see how the tools are operationalized in a specific context, and the opportunities and challenges faced.The event will be recorded and the demonstrations by Stefaan and Eugenia posted on the RD4C YouTube channel and RD4C.org for public consumption.PARTICIPANTS:<ul><li>Stefaan Verhulst, Co-Founder and Director, The GovLab</li></ul><ul><li>Eugenia Olliaro, Programme Officer, UNICEF</li></ul><ul><li>Alessandra Fassio, Advocacy and Relations Manager, Data for Children Collaborative with UNICEF</li></ul>
