On the 24th September Better Care Network and the CPC Learning Network organized a one day symposium entitled The State of the Evidence on Children’s Care at McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research, New York University.
The symposium topics were clustered around three specific areas of issues related to children’s care:
- Efforts to measure trends in families and children’s care and living arrangements;
- Initiatives to measure the impact of policies and programs to strengthen families and to ensure children’s ability to be raised in a family environment; and,
- Measurement of situations and outcomes concerning children outside of family care and children in alternative care arrangements.
