Implement broad reforms to the foster care system to ensure that every child in need of alternative care receives care and stability in family-based environments.
Why this status
Alternative-care reform is underway. The Ministry of Women and Child Affairs now publishes a National Alternative Care Policy for Children, and the Minister reported work on family-based care, deinstitutionalisation, community protection and foster-care models. The public evidence does not demonstrate that every child needing alternative care has already received stable family-based care, so the promise is not yet fulfilled.
