CFAB is the only non-government organisation in the UK set up specifically to deal with child protection cases which involve the UK and one or more countries. Through its inter-country social work team, CFAB provides guidance, counselling and practical support on a range of complex international child protection issues. CFAB works with professionals from Local Authorities, the Courts, the police, individuals, NGOs and central Government.

As the only UK charity with a children’s international social work team, and the UK’s only member of the International Social Service network, CFAB can alert social services and professionally assess long-term care options for children in the UK and over 120 countries.
