As you explore the puzzle, you will find basic information, tools, videos, articles, and other resources related to each component and subcomponent of the care system. Please note that this practitioner hub is still in development.

National Policies

 

A National Policy is a statement containing principles and a broad course of action adopted by the national government in pursuit of a specific objective. They are used to guide decision making towards the achievement of a stated outcome. Many countries have national alternative care policies that state the specific objectives for children’s care, as determined by the government. This is often where the commitment to give priority to family-based care can be found.
