Seminar: Exploring Preventative Strategies

Most people will agree that children belong in a loving and caring family but for millions of children around the world this is not possible. This seminar will discuss what can be done to prevent family separation and the dynamics in social work and international aid to address the challenges and prevent children from growing up in different forms of alternative care.

We will hear Dr. Chrisse Gale present the recommendations as laid out in the UN Guidelines for the alternative care of children and the UN Resolution focusing on children who have lost parental care. Her perspectives from an international child rights agenda are enriched by presentations from practitioners from the field. One being a care leaver himself.
