Child protection issue brief: alternative care
UNHCR
Highlights
This child protection issue brief summarizes key concepts and types of alternative care. It also gives key recommendations and messages on the need to put the best interests of the child in any decision regarding alternative care arrangement. It should always be viewed as an interim measure whilst family tracing is carried out and until the time when children can be reunited with family members.
The brief also highlights UNHCR's work regarding the legal and policy framework, the data, coordination, human and financial capacity, prevention and response and advocacy.
