Family for Every Child is dedicated to a vision of a world where every child can grow up in a permanent, safe and caring family, supported by temporary, quality alternative care where needed.Fundamentally, we are driven by three strategic goals:1 Enabling children to grow up in permanent, safe and caring families, and2 Ensuring a range of high-quality alternative care choices3 Taking steps to prevent children from having to live outside of any adult care, without the care of families or other carers, and in the interim protecting these boys and girlsWe are an Alliance of national member organisations (local civil society organisations) which has grown to a network of now over 43 members in 38 countries around the world. Family for Every Child was developed to demonstrate a different way of doing international collaboration. It is premised on the importance of diverse and contextually informed knowledge from all parts of the globe being given equal value internationally. Although our members all grow independently, they are connected by a shared "root" system, tended to by a small team of Family for Every Child staff (the Secretariat). This makes each member more effective, and the network as a whole more resilient, because together, we're more than the sum of our parts. We believe in collective leadership and working horizontally bringing together our member organisations, our Secretariat and our Boards. We are committed to becoming a model of ways of working that starts to decolonise the sector. We are determined to improve as an Alliance on this journey. Ours is a "future focused" model that will facilitate growth, change and impact in a sustainable way. We connect online, and have no physical offices. The majority of our governing body of trustees that forms the international Family for Every Child Board are members themselves.
