00:00:00.499 --> 00:00:01.320 align:middle line:90%
Well done.

00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:03.880 align:middle line:84%
You've almost reached
the end of Week 2.

00:00:03.880 --> 00:00:07.920 align:middle line:84%
Let's remind ourselves of what
we have learned this week.

00:00:07.920 --> 00:00:09.370 align:middle line:84%
We looked further
into the topics

00:00:09.370 --> 00:00:11.370 align:middle line:84%
covered in the UN Guidelines
for the Alternative

00:00:11.370 --> 00:00:13.170 align:middle line:90%
Care of Children.

00:00:13.170 --> 00:00:16.980 align:middle line:84%
This included the guidance that
financial and material poverty

00:00:16.980 --> 00:00:19.920 align:middle line:84%
should never be the only
justification for the removal

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:23.190 align:middle line:84%
of a child from parental
care or from receiving

00:00:23.190 --> 00:00:25.740 align:middle line:84%
the child into
care, or preventing

00:00:25.740 --> 00:00:27.646 align:middle line:90%
his or her reintegration.

00:00:27.646 --> 00:00:29.020 align:middle line:84%
These are really
important points

00:00:29.020 --> 00:00:30.712 align:middle line:84%
for us to consider,
especially when

00:00:30.712 --> 00:00:32.170 align:middle line:84%
we know the Committee
on the Rights

00:00:32.170 --> 00:00:34.410 align:middle line:84%
of the Child encouraged
the development of the UN

00:00:34.410 --> 00:00:37.860 align:middle line:84%
guidelines, because they had
evidence this concern was not

00:00:37.860 --> 00:00:41.700 align:middle line:84%
being substantially
addressed in many countries.

00:00:41.700 --> 00:00:44.340 align:middle line:84%
We explored in greater depth
the meaning of the necessity

00:00:44.340 --> 00:00:46.560 align:middle line:84%
principle and what
that means in terms

00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:48.480 align:middle line:84%
of making sure children
only find themselves

00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:50.610 align:middle line:84%
in alternative
care, if it really

00:00:50.610 --> 00:00:53.820 align:middle line:84%
is in their best interest, and
it is the most suitable option

00:00:53.820 --> 00:00:55.560 align:middle line:90%
for them.

00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:58.090 align:middle line:84%
We also heard from
international practitioners

00:00:58.090 --> 00:01:00.672 align:middle line:84%
about the different
levels of prevention.

00:01:00.672 --> 00:01:02.130 align:middle line:84%
They spoke about
opportunities that

00:01:02.130 --> 00:01:04.857 align:middle line:84%
might help avoid the use
of formal alternative care,

00:01:04.857 --> 00:01:06.690 align:middle line:84%
and they stressed the
importance of families

00:01:06.690 --> 00:01:10.420 align:middle line:84%
being able to access universal
services, such as health,

00:01:10.420 --> 00:01:13.230 align:middle line:84%
education, help with
housing, employment,

00:01:13.230 --> 00:01:15.750 align:middle line:90%
and as well as social security.

00:01:15.750 --> 00:01:18.300 align:middle line:84%
And also specialist provisions,
such as family strengthening

00:01:18.300 --> 00:01:20.910 align:middle line:84%
programmes or specialist
healthcare for those with

00:01:20.910 --> 00:01:23.110 align:middle line:90%
disabilities.

00:01:23.110 --> 00:01:26.110 align:middle line:84%
To be helped to be able to
make well-informed decisions,

00:01:26.110 --> 00:01:28.890 align:middle line:84%
we learned about gatekeeping
processes and the tools

00:01:28.890 --> 00:01:31.410 align:middle line:84%
and mechanisms that can help
with fully assessing a child's

00:01:31.410 --> 00:01:32.970 align:middle line:90%
situation.

00:01:32.970 --> 00:01:35.480 align:middle line:84%
This included
examples from Rwanda,

00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:37.980 align:middle line:84%
and we would really encourage
you to look at the publication

00:01:37.980 --> 00:01:40.800 align:middle line:84%
we referenced, Making
Decisions for the Better Care

00:01:40.800 --> 00:01:43.950 align:middle line:84%
of Children, as it contains
practical ideas and evidence

00:01:43.950 --> 00:01:45.420 align:middle line:90%
of promising practise.

00:01:45.420 --> 00:01:48.210 align:middle line:90%
It gives us ideas for how to.

00:01:48.210 --> 00:01:49.890 align:middle line:90%
What about Asha and Lan?

00:01:49.890 --> 00:01:52.170 align:middle line:84%
How are decisions being
made, and are they

00:01:52.170 --> 00:01:55.020 align:middle line:84%
in the best interest of Asha
and Lan and their family?

00:01:55.020 --> 00:01:57.630 align:middle line:84%
Let's see what
happens next week.

00:01:57.630 --> 00:01:59.470 align:middle line:84%
Just a couple more
steps to complete,

00:01:59.470 --> 00:02:01.830 align:middle line:84%
and that will be the end
of this week's course.

00:02:01.830 --> 00:02:04.050 align:middle line:84%
Please don't forget to
keep posting your comments.

00:02:04.050 --> 00:02:06.000 align:middle line:84%
It's a great way of
sharing your ideas

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:07.830 align:middle line:84%
and also learning
from each other.

00:02:07.830 --> 00:02:09.650 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.

00:02:09.650 --> 00:02:15.766 align:middle line:90%
