This is the second in the series of three events focusing on mental health. Four Family for Every Child member organisations share their experiences and perspectives on supporting the mental health of vulnerable children.

This webinar will examine how a well-developed and qualified social service workforce working in and linked to health facilities can help countries to tackle social and other determinants of health. Using findings from their latest technical paper, the Global Social Service Workforce Alliance will explore the different roles, functions and practice models for deploying the social service workforce in health facilities and the related influence on health outcomes and costs. Country-level speakers will discuss promising practice models for effective deployment of social service workers in health facilities and the challenges and opportunities that come with them.

This was an interactive workshop organized and hosted by the Transitioning Residential Care Working Group as part of the Transforming Children’s Care Global Collaborative Platform.

In this video, Changing the Way We Care (CTWWC) speaks to Catholic audiences in the U.S. and around the world who have supported children in residential care facilities – sometimes referred to as “orphanages” - about the importance of supporting children to stay with their families or be reintegrated from residential care into family care. 

The purpose of this event series is to bring care-experienced people and supporters from all over the world together to connect, expand and create new ideas for change.  

Join Family for Every Child's second in their series of three webinars focusing on mental health. Four Family for Every Child member organisations will share their experiences and perspectives, building on discussions from their last webinar.

Research in Practice and CoramBAAF are working together to host an open access online event about the recommendations of the Independent Review of Children’s Social Care for kinship care and how to support practitioners unlock the potential of family networks. The event will cover current issues relating to kinship care, the recommendations relating to kinship care that are in the Independent Review of Children’s Social Care, practical ways to involve family networks, recent research and ways practitioners can improve practice and experience of kinship carers right now.

The L&D Working Group of the Alliance would like to offer you a free, online learning opportunity to further explore the framework to strengthen overall understanding of primary prevention in child protection in humanitarian action. The course will provide an introduction to prevention programming, and will allow you to reflect on how the Primary Prevention Framework for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action is relevant to your context.

The purpose of this guidance is to advise policy makers and planners on how to apply a set of variables to their specific context to enable them to calculate the costs of human resources required to meet a target minimum ratio of social service workers per population, in the country in question. The guidance first discusses the essential steps that need to be taken to prepare for a costing exercise, and then the specific steps to take in a costing exercise for the workforce, which are outlined in the costing tool itself (to be released at a later date).
