Más Allá del Cuidado Institucional proporciona un marco para que los gobiernos desarrollen su propia hoja de ruta para la reforma de sus sistemas de protección y cuidado infantil y la desinstitucionalización. Esperamos que esto inspire el diálogo, guíe las conversaciones entre grupos interministeriales y en la sociedad, oriente a grupos
multidisciplinarios de todos los niveles en la creación de su propia evaluación y ayude en la planificación de su propia hoja de ruta para el cambio.

This virtual study tour aims to provide you with an overview of care reform in Malawi from the comfort of your own home. Care reform relates to the care of children. It refers to efforts to improve the legal and policy frameworks, structures, services, supports and resources that determine and deliver alternative care, prevent family separation and support families to care for children well.

This Toolkit for Disability Inclusion in Care Reform represents a collection of work developed from the experience of many practitioners and organizations. The aim of this toolkit is to increase the capacity and confidence of those working in children’s care, child protection and family strengthening to mainstream disability through every step, utilizing improvements to systems, practices, skills and attitudes. We envision family care for all children and the use of residential care only as a last resort when absolutely necessary and appropriate. The toolkit reinforces the importance of placing family care for children with disabilities at the top of any care reform agenda.

Considerations for facilitating the assessment workshop, group selection, building consensus and drafting priority recommendations during the workshop.
