From 28–30 January 2026, fifty representatives from governments, civil society, faith-based organisations, UN agencies, academia, and young people with experience of care gathered at Wilton Park in the UK to discuss how the Global Campaign for Children’s Care Reform can move from commitment to collective action. This report provides a record of the dialogue. 

This webinar will celebrate a decade of evidence in action and highlight the next phase of INSPIRE’s global implementation and research agenda. It will bring together global leaders, researchers, and practitioners to discuss what the new evidence means for countries, sectors, and systems working to end violence against children.
