This report investigates the current experience of siblings in the care system in the UK and whether some placement types are more likely than others to enable siblings to be raised together. It also explores how many foster carers are siblings of the children they are raising. A set of questions were sent to all English local authorities under the Freedom of Information Act. Their responses are summarised in this paper.
This paper reports on the Mexican arm of Family for Every Child’s three-country study on strategies to ensure the sustainable reintegration of children without parental care. It set out to address the question: “What are successful elements in strategies to ensure the sustainable reintegration of children without parental care?”, as identified from a 15-month study on work on family reintegration with boys who have lived on the streets (or been at identifiably high risk of doing so), and their families, in Puebla, Mexico.

Abstract:
This qualitative study explored the experiences of adults who had lived in group home care as adolescents and transitioned back into the community at the end of their treatment. More specifically, this study examined the experiences of adults who spent six or more months in group homes during their adolescent years, between the ages of 12 and 20 years. Participants in this study had transitioned out of residential care "successfully". Transitions were labeled as "successful" if treatment goals were met and/or the group home decided that discharge was an…

This overview is intended to contribute to discussions on international volunteering in residential care centres as an anecdotal research piece on the situation in Ghana. Ghana was chosen as a focus country due to recommendations from a range of informants who raised concerns about extent of the practice in residential care centres in Ghana. Availability of research also contributed to the choice of Ghana as a country focus.
This overview was informed by online resources, academic and institutional literature, and interviews with informants.

A l’issue de ses travaux, la mission a constaté que même si le dispositif CEF souffrait d’un déficit d’outils d’évaluation, il avait, malgré des fragilités, trouvé sa place dans l’offre globale d’hébergement des mineurs délinquants. En effet, alors que le CEF s’est inscrit dans une évolution des modalités de prise en charge de ces mineurs, son fonctionnement présente toutefois une grande hétérogénéité et des fragilités. Ces constats justifient que des améliorations soient apportées dans les conditions de prise en charge des mineurs et que le développement des CEF soit effectué de façon…

Abstract:
“This article argues that orphanage voluntourism fuels the displacement and trafficking of children from their families in Nepal and their unnecessary institutionalisation. It shows that the displacement of children from their families into institutions initially arose in response to forced conscriptions of children into the Maoist rebel army and a desire of the families for their children to have quality education. After the conflict ended, this phenomenon became more about a desire by the poor rural families to have their children educated and thus escape the poverty trap.…
