DiscussionThe story behind the news.

A delegation from Turkmenistan visited the United Kingdom from November 2 to 6 to study how local services help families stay together and arrange care for children who cannot live with their parents. UNICEF, which helped organize the visit, reported it on November 10. [evidence-1]

In London, the delegation met England’s Department for Education and visited a centre in Hammersmith and Fulham that helps young people leaving care find housing, education and work. In Cornwall, it discussed how local services can help families before children need to enter residential care. [evidence-1]

UNICEF says examples from the visit may inform Turkmenistan’s national programme on child protection and justice for children. Work on that programme began in April and includes plans to improve family-based care and prevent violence against children. [evidence-1] [evidence-2]
