Our vision is a world where every child can grow up in a safe and caring family.
About us
Family for Every Child is dedicated to a vision of a world where every child can grow up in a permanent, safe and caring family, supported by temporary, quality alternative care where needed. Fundamentally, we are driven by three strategic goals: 🌐 Enabling children to grow up in permanent, safe and caring families, and 🌐 Ensuring a range of high-quality alternative care choices 🌐 Taking steps to prevent children from having to live outside of any adult care, without the care of families or other carers, and in the interim protecting these boys and girls We are an alliance of national member organisations (local civil society organisations) which has grown to a network of now over 47 members in 38 countries around the world. Family for Every Child was developed to demonstrate a different way of doing international collaboration. It is premised on the importance of diverse and contextually informed knowledge from all parts of the globe being given equal value internationally. Although our members all grow independently, they are connected by a shared “root” system, tended to by a small team of Family for Every Child staff (the Secretariat). This makes each member more effective, and the network as a whole more resilient, because together, we’re more than the sum of our parts. We believe in collective leadership and working horizontally bringing together our member organisations, our Secretariat and our Boards. We are committed to becoming a model of ways of working that starts to decolonise the sector. We are determined to improve as an Alliance on this journey. Ours is a “future focused” model that will facilitate growth, change and impact in a sustainable way. We connect online, and have no physical offices. The majority of our governing body of trustees that forms the international Family for Every Child Board are members themselves.

Earlier this year, we released "How to support Kinship Care: Lessons learnt from around the world", the first ever Global Guidance for supporting Kinship Care. Through conversations with hundreds of practitioners and organisations around the world, examples were gathered to understand what has been, and what can be done to support kinship care on a global scale.

Around the globe, thousands of grandparents have had to take on the #KinshipCare of their grandchildren. We talked to families all over the world – including Australia and New Zealand – to gather insights and examples. In Australia, families expressed the need for better financial support. In New Zealand, a charity called Grandparents Raising Grandchildren is dedicated solely to supporting these types of Kinship Care families… …because there are more of them than you’d think, and they need support to be able to provide the best care. #GlobalKinshipCareWeek aims to raise awareness of all Kinship Care families. 💬 taken from Family For Every Child’s Global Kinship Care Guidance. #KinshipCare #SupportKinshipCare #FamilyForEveryChild #GlobalCampaign #ChangemakersForChildren #TogetherForChange #CallToAction #CallForChange

Connecting Global Professionals Across Multiple Disciplines to End Neglect and All Violence Against Children
We’re joining the first ever #GlobalKinshipCareWeek! ❓But what is Kinship Care about❓ Around the globe, thousands of children who cannot be looked after by their parents often end up living with relatives or friends of the family. This is known as Kinship Care. Approximately 1 in 10 children are living in Kinship Care, but it is poorly supported in many countries. Kinship carers are struggling. We need better policies, support systems and recognition of Kinship Care. Join this campaign for better recognition – share their posts, learn about #KinshipCare and talk to your community. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g6YdyVUR #GlobalKinshipCareWeek #KinshipCareWeek #KinshipCare #SupportKinshipCare #FamilyForEveryChild #GlobalCampaign #ChangemakersForChildren #TogetherForChange #CallToAction #CallForChange

📣 It’s simple: #GlobalKinshipCareWeek is about calling for better support… …but it’s also about recognising the complexities and challenges that exist in understanding Kinship Care, and forming programmes and policies to best support it. What are the challenges faced by kinship care families? What are the gaps in care systems that mean kinship care families are not supported? What can we do to make sure more kinship care families receive adequate support? Where do you start? Family For Every Child’s Global Kinship Care guidance paper is a good starting point – we've done A LOT of research already. Now we're calling on the global community to help us spread the word through #GlobalKinshipCareWeek. 🔗 Take a look here: https://buff.ly/4exvGqC #GlobalKinshipCareWeek #KinshipCareWeek #KinshipCare #SupportKinshipCare #FamilyForEveryChild #GlobalCampaign #ChangemakersForChildren #TogetherForChange #CallToAction #CallForChange
