Did you know that there are at least 2.4 million children growing up in grandfamilies today? And this number could be as many as 7.6 million, which is the number of children who we know live in households where another relative (not their parent) is head of the household. #2023Grandfamilies #grandfamilies #kinship #childwelfare #policy Read more key facts and findings: https://lnkd.in/e8xfYPEE

🚫 This doesn't have to be a reality 🚫 Children deserve to dream of a brighter future, not face the harsh realities of a stolen present. They deserve the chance to learn, to play, to explore their passions. But child labour steals that chance, leaving them vulnerable and trapped in a cycle of poverty and exploitation. Let's not turn a blind eye to this injustice. Let's break the chains of child labour and build a future where every child has the chance to reach their full potential. Together, we can make a difference. www.epack.in +91 9818666092 query@epack.in #WorldDayAgainstChildLabour #EndChildLabour #ChildRights #SupportChildren #EPACKPrefab #SustainableConstruction #BuildingStrongFoundations #EthicalConstruction #CorporateSocialResponsibility #ProtectChildren #NoChildLabour #ChildLabourFree #RaiseAwareness #ChildhoodMatters #HumanRights #PrefabStructure #EducationForAll

#HappyFathersDay to all the #fathers, #StepDads, #boyfriends with significant others with kids, and any mentors or men who take care of children in our communities and do their their best to love and teach them. For all the father's who have been separated and alienated from their kids, #happyfathersday2024 to you as well. We all love our kids and would do anything for them. Unfortunately, #FamilyCourts often have atypical, judicial leeway to make powerful and pervasive decisions for our children and the parents, with almost #ZeroOversight, #Regulations, and #accountability. It's a #bigbusiness, and as parents who especially haven't had the displeasure of going through the process, we need your #solidarity and for your to learn about it, especially in courts like #MonmouthCounty, which is known nationally, as one of the worst or the worst counties for father's to relieve Fair #custody and #childsupport rulings. Better communities begin with #Awareness and progress with #resilience and #activism. We must have a just system that does not punitively hammer the #WorkingClass and impoverish good #Mothers and Fathers from raising their children and being a part of their lives. They must not be kept away to perpetually enrich the #FamilyCourtIndustrialComplex from corrupt state agencies and #lawyers, and well beyond. The courts getting #3to1Funding for #ChildSupportOrders breeds corruption and abuse of #WorkingFamilies! #FathersOfTheWorldUnite!

One of the most important things we can teach our children is that failing is okay - everybody experiences it. Letting children experience independence lets them fail. But it makes them build the confidence that they know it’s okay. #LetGrow is here to provide parents with resources to help foster confidence and independence in our nation's children. https://ow.ly/yej250R0Kxa #ChildDevelopment #ChildIndependence

In their own words 💔 Kids in the ‘alternative care arrangement’ model of government care moved from ‘cage to cage’ in cheap, cockroach infested motels with little to no support or supervision. The money is invested in the crisis end of the system, not in supporting families to stay together or in carers to provide home-based care and support. Carers receive on average $15K per annum to support a child or young person in their home - families receive even less on supports to remain together. Yet it costs up to (and sometimes more than) $1million per child per annum in this broken model of care? Where is the logic in this? Can we even call it ‘care’? My heart breaks for our society; for our kids; for our future. And the most alarming thing of all - this is not new information. It has been like this for a very long time 💔 #ahomeforeverychild #weneedtodobetter #advocacy #support
‘Moving from cage to cage: An interim report of the Special Inquiry into children and young people in alternative care arrangements’ by the NSW Advocate for Children and Young People (ACYP) was released a few days ago. It is a vital look into what it is like for children to be housed in motels with shift workers instead of in a family home. Children need family and when they can't live with them, they need to be cared for in an alternative family-home. No child should have to keep their bags packed, be isolated, miss school for two years or spend their childhood in distress. Change is needed immediately. Costs are estimated at $965,000 per child in this emergency style accommodation compared to the $15,000 provided to a Foster / Kin carer to support the child in their home... the maths and outcomes speak for themselves. I spoke with Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) Drive about the findings: https://lnkd.in/gvifDnwe #children #youngpeople #youth #childrensrights #permanency #home #foster #adopt #homelessness Adopt Change

For most of us, taking care of our children is a priority we all share. And when it comes to child support, ensuring that the arrangement genuinely benefits the kids who are involved is huge. As a lawyer, it's amazing to see so many of these agreements play out with a clear focus on fostering a stable and equitable environment for these children. This approach not only supports the child’s development but also upholds a sense of fairness and responsibility that is crucial in a family dynamic. Whether it’s ensuring they have the same comforts in both homes or discussing their needs without conflict, how have you tried to put your kids first in these decisions? #Parenting #ChildSupport #FamilyFirst

Forming parental #relationships for some may come as second nature, but for others personal circumstances can make this time for bonding more challenging. Parent and child #fostercare promotes #families remaining together. https://lnkd.in/eBfYkvQ3 #fosterchildren #fostercaresystem #bournemouth #bcp
