Care reform

Care reform involves improvements to the legal and policy framework, structures and resources that prevent family separation, support families to care for children well, and determine and deliver alternative care.

The goals of care reform are informed by international standards. Care reform also aims to give children a range of alternative care choices – ideally family based – in cases where they cannot be looked after by parents
