From 28–30 January 2026, fifty representatives from governments, civil society, faith-based organisations, UN agencies, academia, and young people with experience of care gathered at Wilton Park in the UK to discuss how the Global Campaign for Children’s Care Reform can move from commitment to collective action. Building on the momentum of the Global Campaign for Children’s Care Reform, launched in January 2025, and the Global Charter for Children’s Care Reform, launched during the 2025 United Nations General Assembly, participants shared learning, challenged assumptions, and identified practical pathways to systemic change. The discussions will inform the setting of priorities for a Global Campaign roadmap that will articulate the objectives, activities and strategies for the campaign to leverage the momentum and energy of existing care reform efforts and to propel action on children’s care reform further into the spotlight. This report provides a record of the dialogue.
