Thanks to everyone for such a fantastic celebration of this important work with and for children & young people at University of Strathclyde

We’re left with a sense of both the urgency and importance of this work.

How do Concepts and Measures of Children’s Well-being Outcomes Align with Perspectives of Care-Experienced Children? A Scoping Review - Child Indicators Research Children in alternative care score consistently lower on measures of well-being outcomes. However, research on children’s well-being outcomes and the fulfilment of their human rights have overlooked t...

Very happy to share this recently published review we conducted at IICF on well-being measures vis-à-vis the perspectives of children in alternative care link.springer.com/article/10.1...

9/ And thanks to YOU for reading through to the end of this long thread!

We look forward to taking these ideas forward with others.

We would love to hear your thoughts on what we've found.

8/ Thank you 🙏 to the children and young people who contributed to the #DGD21 on their personal #careexperiences, to @royalsoced.bsky.social & #DANIDA for your support & to our partners for your insights & contributions.

7/ We suggest a rights-based approach to well-being outcomes that is based on the full spectrum of children’s human rights.

Read it here: rdcu.be/eiQfC

6/ We propose by involving children in the design of well-being outcomes, measures are more likely to reflect the intersecting social realities in which they live to ensure that the inequalities in well-being outcomes of care-experienced children form part of the research agenda.

5/ Key findings included the limited mention of domains of identity, inclusion, quality services, safety, support and trust, as central to the more holistic understandings of well-being that care-experienced children raised in consultations in the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child DGD 2021.

4/ Summary:
Children in alternative care score consistently lower on measures of well-being outcomes. But, research on children’s well-being outcomes & the fulfilment of their human rights have overlooked their experiences. So, this scoping review aims to understand children’s well-being outcomes…

3/ A call to:

🟣 Specifically consider the experiences of children in alternative care, as a way to improve all children's wellbeing outcomes.

🟢 Ensure that their wellbeing outcomes are contextualised using intersectionality & all human rights.

2/ Our key conclusions from this Scoping Review include:

We observed that:

🟠 Adult-defined #wellbeing #outcomes lead to gaps

🔵 Clear definitions of children’s wellbeing outcomes are often absent in the literature, and there's uncertainty around categorising domains and indicators.

Putin is wanted by the International Criminal Court for mass abduction of children from #Ukraine.

Trump is apparently helping him hide the evidence.

Poverty stigma: a glue that holds poverty in place Poverty stigma exacerbates shamefully high rates of poverty in the UK. It can affect health as much as trying to survive on a low income. How do we combat it?

📢 Stigma around people in poverty, benefits and welfare is key to understanding why poverty is still deemed acceptable in a country as wealthy as the UK.

Bravo to #Bulgaria #Ukraine #Moldova #Paraguay #Phillipines #Rwanda governments for their commitments - so valuable given that sustained political will has been a critical gap in this ambitious reform agenda.
