This special issue of the Better Care Network newsletter, published jointly with the Global Social Service Workforce Alliance, highlights the Alliance's annual State of the Social Service Workforce Report, which focuses on the role of the social service workforce in addressing violence against children around the globe. This issue also features other resources related to the role of the social service workforce in child protection and children's care. These publications include: tools and guidance for practitioners on implementing case management, research articles examining the roles and experiences of professionals in the fields of children's care and protection, and other best practice examples. We include these resources in the hope that those working in the fields of children's care may draw from the learning presented here and apply it to their own work at local, national, regional, or global levels.
