Efforts to transition away from residential care are often constrained by deeply embedded social norms that influence community attitudes and the motivations of service providers.

If these norms go unaddressed, they can incentivize the continuation of residential care and create resistance to change.

Join the Transforming Children’s Care Collaborative on 3 June 2026 (9:00–10:30 a.m. EDT) for our latest webinar: Addressing Social Norms in Transition Practice.

Hosted by the Transitioning Residential Care Working Group, this session will bring together practitioners from Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Eastern and Southern Africa to explore:
🔹 How social norms shape transition efforts
🔹 Practical approaches to shifting these norms
🔹 Lessons from diverse country contexts

Spanish interpretation will be available.

New to the BCN Library: Is Alternative Care on the Violence Against Children Agenda? A Review of Pledges Made at the 1st Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children

In 2024, 103 governments made commitments at the first Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children—but how strongly did those pledges address care reform? This review examines where alternative care, family strengthening, and family-based care feature within national strategies, identifying trends, gaps, and accountability mechanisms, and makes a clear case for positioning care reform as a core pillar in global efforts to end violence against children.
