This report reflects the views and collective expertise of 15 national organizations working hands on with millions of vulnerable children worldwide. These organizations have come together to form Family for Every Child, an alliance aimed at enabling more children to grow up safe and protected in families and to access temporary, quality alternative care when needed. The report maintains that improving the care of children requires action from all parts of society and is not just a challenge for child protection specialists. Rather, they call on the full spectrum of sectors – from education to health, from economic planning to humanitarian work. It is a matter for governments, parliamentarians, businesses, trade unions, multilateral and bilateral agencies, the media, national and international NGOs, and, not least, children and families themselves. All of these actors have a role to play in designing and implementing change and holding others to account for improving the care of children.
