As part of phase one of the development of the Martin James Foundation's Asia Care Network, comprehensive studies of the care system in each country were conducted to highlight the need for developing alternative care systems across South-East Asia. This case study highlights relevant data from Singapore.
According to the case study, in 2014 the government department, MSF, responsible for child services acknowledged the need to move children out of institutional care and into family-based care arrangements. A three-year plan to establish and fund fostering agencies was formed. The MSF has increased its efforts to recruit foster parents and establish foster care agencies.
