Members of the Transforming Children's Care Collaborative's Global Policy and Advocacy Working Group have developing a series of thematic briefs covering specific aspects of care reform.

The briefs build on the Key Recommendations for the 2019 UNGA Resolution on the Rights of the Child with a focus on children without parental care and joint advocacy efforts in the context of the 2021 Committee on the Rights of the Child Day of General Discussion.

What is the Purpose of these Thematic Briefs?

• Support policy and decision makers to actively implement global commitments relevant to children’s rights and care;
• Articulate a set of practical measures that should be taken across different areas of care reform in order to achieve system change;
• While they are framed by international standards and principles, they will seek to go beyond those to articulate what needs to be done to implement them, based on evidence and practice learning about implementation in a range of contexts and regions.
• Provide country case examples illustrating efforts to implement these measures and lessons learnt from those.

The thematic briefs should be seen as part of an evolving Toolkit that helps clarify and guide implementation and advocacy. They will be updated and refined in light of evidence and evolving standards and practice, and new context specific examples will be added.

If you have learning or examples to add to these briefs or would like to actively contribute to their development, we encourage you to reach out to the co-convenors of the Global Policy and Advocacy Working Group at: contact@transformcare4children.org
