This report draws attention to themes emerging from notifications of the deaths of 61 care experienced children and young people over seven years from 2012 to 2018.

This report is the culmination of almost four years of research. It gives an overview of the child protection situation in all 195 autonomous countries in the world.

The overall goal of “Harnessing the Power of Data for the Benefit of the Child” activity—implemented by D4I in the Republic of Moldova—is to strengthen the capacity of the government and its partners at national and subnational levels to collect, analyze, and use data to generate a positive impact on children in adversity.

This publication from UNICEF showcases 18 reports from 2020 with a high potential for impact on policies and programmes that benefit children, including a report on deinstitutionalization in Bulgaria, a report on unaccompanied minors in Italy, and more.

Using a human-centered algorithmic design approach, the authors of this study synthesize 50 peer-reviewed publications on computational systems used in the U.S. Child Welfare System (CWS) to assess how they were being developed, common characteristics of predictors used, as well as the target outcomes.

This report reviews information on looked-after children in the UK at both national and local authority levels for the financial year 2018 to 2019.

This document provides a guide to looked after children statistics published by the UK Department for Education.

Cross-sectional analysis by the Scottish Government show that the educational outcomes for looked after children are much poorer than for other children in Scotland. This presentation will discuss methods to create a longitudinal data set from these data and thus infer how a child’s lifetime history of care relates to their educational outcomes.

In this study, the authors analyse a child protection services dataset that includes a network of approximately 5 million social relationships collected by social workers between 1996 and 2016 in New Zealand to test the potential of information about family networks to improve accuracy of models used to predict the risk of child maltreatment.

This exploratory data analysis of 937 children in 522 families in one London local authority sought to identify trends in the length, outcome and nature of pre-proceedings and proceedings cases, including outcomes six, twelve and twenty-four months after the end of these processes.
