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.

🕒 Time: 08:00–09:30 NYC | 13:00–14:30 UK |14:00–15:30 CET

1️⃣ Child-centred justice and mechanisms that empower children and families to claim their rights
2️⃣ Securing access to essential services that prevent unnecessary family separation
3️⃣ How accountability and remedies can drive systemic change and safeguard children’s rights

👉 Don’t miss this opportunity to collaborate and accelerate progress for children’s rights, alternative care reforms, and access to justice globally.

Register for the Transforming Children's Care Collaborative's upcoming webinar to explore what it takes to build care systems that prioritize relationships and protection through connection.

📅 13 November 2025
🕖 7:00–8:30 a.m. EST

Speakers will share insights on:
✔️ Pathways to Deinstitutionalisation: How the Professional Individualised Care (PIC) model has created new family-based care options for children in New South Wales, reduced reliance on residential care, and achieved better outcomes at lower cost.
✔️ Reimagining the Role of Social Workers: How professional social workers are being engaged as highly-skilled therapeutic one-to-one caregivers who welcome a child or young person into their home, offering individualised care within the context of healthy attachment.
✔️ Reorienting Systems: How to shift from compliance- and risk-driven approaches that fracture relationships toward systems that prioritize connection and break intergenerational cycles of harm.

Consulta virtual: Definiendo el camino a seguir para el cuidado de la niñez y adolescencia tras los recortes en la ayuda internacional
🗓 5 de noviembre de 2025 | 🕑 9:00 a. m. (EST)

La Red Better Care Network y la Colaboración sobre Asuntos Globales de la Niñez en el Proyecto Niñez y Adolescencia en Adversidad de la Universidad de Georgetown están organizando conjuntamente una consulta virtual para que las partes interesadas en la reforma del cuidado de la niñez puedan aportar sus ideas sobre las recomendaciones preliminares elaboradas por la Colaboración. Estas recomendaciones buscan responder al impacto de los recortes a la cooperación internacional estadounidense en la niñez y sus familias, y consolidar el progreso en este entorno cambiante.

Esta sesión virtual interactiva permitirá:
✅ Compartir las principales conclusiones y recomendaciones preliminares de seis meses de consultas globales.
✅ Recabar opiniones para perfeccionar y finalizar estas recomendaciones, que se incluirán en un informe público.
✅ Identificar las prioridades y estrategias de implementación, con especial atención a la reforma del sistema de cuidado de la niñez y adolescencia.

Únase a nosotros para que las diversas perspectivas se vean reflejadas en las recomendaciones finales de la Colaboración. Juntas y juntos, podemos encontrar la manera de seguir apoyando el desarrollo, el cuidado y la protección de la niñez y de la adolescencia, incluso en este difícil contexto económico.

🗣 Habrá interpretación simultánea al español.
