This report captures the key insights, trends, learnings, and participant inputs from the Transitioning Residential Care Services Learning Event held in October 2022 which was organized and hosted by the Transitioning Residential Care Working Group as part of the Transforming Children’s Care Global Collaborative Platform.

In any transition process, different levels of risk and challenges can impact the children in care and therefore need to be managed.

This is an interview with Dragana Ciric Milovanovic, director of European Programs for Disability Rights International (DRI), during the European Launch of the Deinstitutionalization Guidelines, including in emergencies.

These are the key findings and recommendations of a report produced by Coram Voice and The Rees Centre at University of Oxford that captures the views of 10,000 children and young people in care in the UK on their wellbeing. This report summarises responses collected through the largest survey of its kind from children and young people aged 4-18 years between 2016 and 2021, giving unprecedented insight into children in care’s subjective wellbeing.

This report presents the findings of an online survey and individual interviews which explored the experiences of carers providing out-of-home care to infants in New South Wales. While there is increasing research related to the care of children and young people requiring out-of-home Care, there is comparatively less specifically related to the care of infants. The findings highlight a need to provide increased training, support, and resources for new carers of infants in out-of-home care.

This is the third report by Coram Voice and The Rees Centre at University of Oxford exploring learning from the Your Life, Your Care surveys that are part of the Bright Spots Programme. It is an analysis of 9,472 responses from children and young people (aged 4-18 years) collected between 2016 and 2021 from 38 Local Authorities in England. The findings build on previous overview reports and the pilot stage in 2015 that involved 611 children and young people. By 2021, the research team had gathered over 10,000 voices from children in care in England.

This report produced by Coram Voice and the NYAS (National Youth Advocacy Service) captures the views of care-experienced children and young people in the UK on recommendations set out in the independent review of children’s social care in England.

The Transitioning Residential Care Cost Estimation Tool was designed to help you consider the cost implications of #transition and generate an estimate to help with planning & securing a commitment to transition from key stakeholders.

Organised jointly by ENIL-ECCL and Disability Rights Defenders, this webinar on November 22, 2022, featured speakers from Sweden, Slovenia and Scotland on the UN Guidelines on Deinstitutionalisation, including in Emergencies.
