Children's social care needs large-scale reform to tackle the complex problems children and families face. We believe building a culturally competent system that listens to the voices of children is essential to its success. Source: The Observer, Chaminda Jayanetti

For children who cannot remain with their parents, kinship care is often the best alternative. Children have better wellbeing, and greater preservation of their heritage and culture. That’s why we explore all options for kinship care, including considering overseas relatives.

We work across international borders to uphold children's right to family, identity and culture. We advocate for children on the edge of or in the care system, to have kinship care options explored first, regardless of where their family lives.

For 70 years we've put children’s best interests first by reuniting them with their families. We will continue to work to ensure decisions are always made in children's best interests, for as long as it takes.

For 70 years we’ve worked to reunite children separated from their families and champion alternative forms of family-based care. We’re proud to support @DavidLammy and @BarryKeoghan in making sure every child across the globe grows up in a safe and loving home.
Making sure every child grows up in a safe and loving family environment is personal to me. It is great to be working with @BarryKeoghan on reforming children’s social care around the world.
