This document describes the 2017-2020 strategy of Family For Every Child. The Strategy paper highlights the mission and vision of Family For Every Child, provides examples of past work and key lessons, and describes its approach and goals to create change toward better care for children.
The current 2017-2020 goals for change are:
- Enabling children to grow up in permanent, safe and caring families
- Ensuring a range of high-quality alternative care choices
Family For Every Child also identifies the strategies for achieving each goal as well as examples for each strategy:
Goal 1: Enabling children to grow up in permanent, safe and caring families
- Improving the effectiveness of care within families
- Ensuring that child protection, social protection and education systems help prevent family separation and child abuse and neglect
- Improving approaches to the reintegration of separated children
Goal 2: Ensuring a range of high-quality alternative care choices
- Strengthening existing, locally developed forms of alternative care such as kinship care and kafalah
- Ensuring that foster care is used when appropriate and is of high quality
- Promoting de-institutionalisation especially for children under three, whilst recognising that high quality, small-scale residential care has a place in the continuum of care choices in certain circumstances
- Working to ensure that all children have equal access to a range of quality care options, including children with disabilities and other vulnerable and discriminated against groups
