Capabilities
Led by international best practice
My Family has been written and edited by Care for Children’s international team of social workers, and gleans from decades of cross-cultural experience.
Culturally adaptable
My Family is designed to be adaptable for any culture quickly and cost effectively, such as translating into different languages, and using presenters that are local to the country it is being used in.
Enriched with local case studies
My Family contains case studies from family placement projects around the world, including interviews with families, practitioners, and government ministers.
At Care for Children we have captured our successful model of family care developed in China that has already moved one million children from institutional care into families, and now we want to develop a digital and online global product called ‘My Family’ to fulfill our new vision to see ‘a world of children in families’
