Objective Of Child Monitoring System
The earlier child labour monitoring initiatives were developed as a response to international pressure on specific export industries and the main objective was the monitoring of workplaces. Two well-known examples of this are the Bangladesh garment industry (BGMEA) project starting in 1995 and the Sialkot soccer ball industry project in Pakistan starting in 1997. Both projects developed specific monitoring procedures and tools with monitoring carried out by professional and skilled workplace monitoring teams.

These initial experiences highlighted the importance of combining social protection with the monitoring activity at an early stage of the initiative, in order to provide viable alternatives for children withdrawn from work. With the Central America coffee and agriculture projects, the concept of "community-based monitoring" became more fully developed. Using local resource persons and awareness-raising approaches to mobilize communities, these projects began to demonstrate the capacity of non-traditional actors to monitor child labour. These and other child labour monitoring initiatives have contributed to the evolution of the concept of CLM over recent years. The focus has shifted from monitoring the industry to monitoring the child as s/he is removed from work and provided with social protection services. The attention has also moved from the "withdrawal" of children from work to a coordinated child protection effort involving the identification, referral, verification and tracking that targeted children are provided with satisfactory alternatives. Lastly a change has occurred from monitoring specific target sectors to an area-based approach to monitor all types of child labour in larger geographical areas.
The Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA) was enacted in 1997 in response to concerns that many children were remaining in foster care for long periods or experiencing multiple placements. This landmark legislation requires timely permanency planning for children and emphasizes that the child's safety is the paramount concern. Specifically, ASFA:
The Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) provides minimum standards for defining physical abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse that States must incorporate in their statutory definitions to receive Federal funds. Originally enacted in 1974, CAPTA provides Federal funding to States for prevention, assessment, investigation, prosecution, and treatment activities, as well as grants to public agencies and nonprofit organizations for demonstration programs and projects.
The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), enacted in 1978 to protect the best interests of Indian children and to promote the stability and security of Indian Tribes and families, recognized that there is no resource more vital to the integrity of Indian Tribes than their children. It requires specific protections for Indian children involved in certain court proceedings.

Additionally, the legislation sets aside other funds for evaluation, research, training and technical assistance projects, and court improvement programs. Recent legislation, the Child and Family Services Improvement and Innovation Act (P.L.112-34), enacted September 30, 2011, reauthorized or amended programs funded under title IV-B and added provisions that address the impact of emotional trauma from child maltreatment.
Additionally, CAPTA identifies the Federal role in supporting research, evaluation, technical assistance, and data collection activities. Since it was signed into law, CAPTA has been amended and reauthorized several times, most recently on December 20, 2010, by the CAPTA Reauthorization Act of 2010. Information on the CAPTA Reauthorization Act of 2010 is available online here.
