Thanks to everyone for such a fantastic celebration of this important work with and for children & young people at University of Strathclyde
We’re left with a sense of both the urgency and importance of this work.
Very happy to share this recently published review we conducted at IICF on well-being measures vis-à-vis the perspectives of children in alternative care link.springer.com/article/10.1...
9/ And thanks to YOU for reading through to the end of this long thread!
We look forward to taking these ideas forward with others.
We would love to hear your thoughts on what we've found.
8/ Thank you 🙏 to the children and young people who contributed to the #DGD21 on their personal #careexperiences, to @royalsoced.bsky.social & #DANIDA for your support & to our partners for your insights & contributions.
7/ We suggest a rights-based approach to well-being outcomes that is based on the full spectrum of children’s human rights.
Read it here: rdcu.be/eiQfC
6/ We propose by involving children in the design of well-being outcomes, measures are more likely to reflect the intersecting social realities in which they live to ensure that the inequalities in well-being outcomes of care-experienced children form part of the research agenda.
5/ Key findings included the limited mention of domains of identity, inclusion, quality services, safety, support and trust, as central to the more holistic understandings of well-being that care-experienced children raised in consultations in the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child DGD 2021.
4/ Summary:
Children in alternative care score consistently lower on measures of well-being outcomes. But, research on children’s well-being outcomes & the fulfilment of their human rights have overlooked their experiences. So, this scoping review aims to understand children’s well-being outcomes…
3/ A call to:
🟣 Specifically consider the experiences of children in alternative care, as a way to improve all children's wellbeing outcomes.
🟢 Ensure that their wellbeing outcomes are contextualised using intersectionality & all human rights.
2/ Our key conclusions from this Scoping Review include:
We observed that:
🟠 Adult-defined #wellbeing #outcomes lead to gaps
🔵 Clear definitions of children’s wellbeing outcomes are often absent in the literature, and there's uncertainty around categorising domains and indicators.

Putin is wanted by the International Criminal Court for mass abduction of children from #Ukraine.
Trump is apparently helping him hide the evidence.
Coalitions have perhaps never been more essential.

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.
from “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler
As Donald Trump takes aim at global norms and institutions, the question of what parts of the post-Cold War order can be saved – and for whom – requires urgent attention.
As a result of the new administration's actions, health centers funded by PEPFAR, the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, are closing their doors and no longer dispersing medication.
In the wake of the FAI into the deaths of Katie Allan and William Lindsay, the Scottish government has just announced 1. The Scottish Prison Service will urgently review its policy on items that can be used as ligatures, and the development of suicide prevention technology will be accelerated.
📢 Stigma around people in poverty, benefits and welfare is key to understanding why poverty is still deemed acceptable in a country as wealthy as the UK.

Bravo to #Bulgaria #Ukraine #Moldova #Paraguay #Phillipines #Rwanda governments for their commitments - so valuable given that sustained political will has been a critical gap in this ambitious reform agenda.
Thanks to #UNICEF #UNSRSG on Violence Against Children & many others behind the scenes 🙌🙌🙌
