International Reference Center
The International Reference Center for the rights of children deprived of their family, established in 1993 with the aim to actively develop and implement international standards relating to adoption and the alternative care of children deprived of their family or at risk of being so.
The global field project ‘A better future is possible’ implemented since 2014 to promote safe, nurturing family care for children out of parental care with a specific focus on children with disabilities (CWD). This includes supporting national care reforms for children in particular efforts towards family reunification, alternative family-based care, and influencing main stakeholders toward family care.
