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.

For the approximately 760,000 children in alternative care in the European Union, the European Child Guarantee is a crucial opportunity to measure progress on deinstitutionalisation and the transition to community and family-based care. In doing so, it can catalyse reform and meaningful improvement of the lives and prospects of one of Europe’s most disadvantaged groups of children.
With Eurochild and UNICEF’s newly published policy brief, Children in alternative care in the Child Guarantee National…

While CTWWC has focused on systems change since the beginning, it was not always underpinned by a conceptual framework. Even without applying the scaling conceptual framework developed, CTWWC has found that focusing on systems strengthening alone has helped drive scale-up.
The examples in this Insights Learning Brief describe how systems strengthening alone can lead to scaling of interventions, including interventions that already exist. CTWWC believes that strengthen systems are essential to scaling and doing so, while aligning the vision and interventions across a coalition of actors,…
Without access to the relationships and information relevant to forming a cohesive identity, children systematically face a range of challenges – legal, psychosocial and medical - throughout their life. Losing the connections and family relations that are essential for maintaining lifelong relationships to parents, siblings, friends, as well as community and wider social networks can have significant implications for the child’s psychosocial and emotional well-being as well as result in loss of protective networks and sense of belonging that are critical as they become adults. The lack of…
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 policy brief draws attention to Article 8 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) which notes that a child has a right to identity including a name, a nationality and family relations. Whenever a child is deprived of one of these elements, States have an obligation to restore the child’s identity speedily. At the heart of any intercountry adoption (ICA) is the modification of a child’s identity given at birth. The brief also includes recommendations for policymakers.

This is a 3-page document targeting donors, policy makers, and UN agencies regarding the roles of volunteers and how decision makers can support their roles.
Background:
Child protection actors in humanitarian and development settings have long recognized the role of communities in assisting children affected by violence, abuse, neglect, exploitation, and family separation. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the reliance on community volunteers in particular, as NGO access was severely limited with lockdowns and movement restrictions implemented across the globe. With a deeper…
