Ensuring child and family well-being requires a radically different, anti-racist response of supports that center the voices of diverse children and families of color, are dignified and strengths-based, and that are offered in spaces they trust. As this brief highlights, community-based organizations across the U.S. are striving to answer that call despite numerous barriers. This brief lifts up the voices of those community providers, with the goal of highlighting and addressing the barriers that stand in the way of all families having the support they need.

There is a firm commitment by the European Union and its Member States to the deinstitutionalisation of children in alternative care and support for their transition to care that is family and community-based. Children growing up in alternative care have very often experienced significant trauma before being placed in care. Residential care, in particular, is known to expose them to additional risks if it is not equipped to provide them with the individualised care they need for their healthy development and social inclusion. Children need stable and safe relationships with caring adults to…
Eurochild and UNICEF carried out the DataCare project to map alternative care data systems across the 27 Member States of the European Union (EU-27) and the United Kingdom (UK). They found that despite differing national definitions and categorisations of alternative care across the region, enough data being published at national level can be used at an aggregate level to establish comparable indicators on the number of children in residential care and three other relevant and interlinked indicators.
As the European Union does not currently have comparable and Europe-wide data to gauge the…
This paper asks the questions: What can we learn from the pandemic—and federal, state, and local governmental responses— about the cracks in the child welfare system? What lessons can be carried forward post-pandemic? It presents recommendations for protecting children through the pandemic and beyond.
Summary
This KIDS COUNT policy report examines how households with children are faring during the pandemic. Its findings are primarily based on surveys conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused widespread economic damage and isolated families in unprecedented ways. Parents have had to juggle both educating and caring for their children and millions of Americans have lost not just their jobs, but their sense stability, source of income and health care.
To succeed now and after the pandemic, families must have good health, both physical and mental…
The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) have predicted that the social and economic effects of the ongoing pandemic will have a significant impact on the well-being of families with children and adolescents in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Even before the COVID-19 crisis, children and adolescents were already a highly vulnerable population group, suffering a higher incidence of poverty than other age groups and affected by numerous inequalities in various dimensions. Not only does the current emergency threaten…
Nos finais de 2019, a China presenciou uma onda de mortes devido a eclosão do novo coronavírus, tendo-se alastrado para outros países no início de 2020 incluindo Moçambique, o que levou a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) a declará-lo pandemia mundial.
Em Moçambique, o primeiro caso da COVID-19, doença causada pelo coronavírus SARS-CoV-2, foi anunciado a 22 de Março de 2020, o que levou o Presidente da República de Moçambique a decretar o primeiro estado de emergência no dia 30 de Março, através do Decreto Presidencial Nº 11/2020, e entrou em vigor a 1 de Abril de 2020. Situação esta que…
Moçambique tinha um sistema de saúde já tenso mesmo antes da chegada da COVID19 e, recentemente, teve que concentrar os seus esforços e priorizar recursos para responder ao impacto do vírus. No entanto, ouvimos as preocupações das crianças de que a COVID-19 está a interromper os serviços de saúde de rotina, devido à necessidade de desviar recursos para a resposta, mas também devido ao medo de contrair a COVID-19 nas unidades sanitárias.
Existe um risco real de vermos um aumento nas taxas de morbidade e mortalidade materna, neonatal e infantil devido à menor demanda por serviços preventivos…
