The Role of Small-Scale Residential Care for Children in the Transition From Institutional to Community-Based Care and in the Continuum of Care in the Europe and Central Asia Region
This White Paper summarizes evidence on the current use and impact of small-scale residential care (also: ‘SSRC’) and offers guidance on how to enable all children to grow up in a loving and stable family environment. It aims to promote better decisionmaking among policy-makers, local governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), as well as child welfare and other, allied practitioners of the establishment.
