CTWWC was conceived as a design-build initiative, firmly set within a collaborate, learn, adapt (CLA) framework. The initiative understands that care reform is a long and complex process, requiring collaboration between many diverse actors, and that change pathways would likely differ between contexts. CTWWC is anchored in a belief that by capturing the process of change and learning from different countries, the global knowledge base around care reform globally would be built, and therefore be able to inform and reinforce the global momentum for family care. CLA is at the heart of CTWWC’s…

The findings demonstrate that…
A step-by-step process and approach that enables practitioners (sometimes called “case workers,” “case managers” or “social workers”) to work with families who need support.

The end goal of case management is that…

Findings deconstructed and brought nuance to stereotypes and dominant assumptions about people growing up in care, providing alternative…
The article deals with a very up-to-date issue, the ‘voice of the child’, i.e. the implementation of the child's right to be heard in parental responsibility matters and cases. The author's aim is to find an answer to the question of how the Hungarian codification, judiciary and academic legal literature have changed over the last decade and how they have adapted to the modern child-focused standards.
The significance of the topic emerges from the fact that both the exercise and the rendering of parental responsibilities is somehow problematic in many families and this difficulty is…
