Children at the Centre: A guide to supporting community groups caring for vulnerable children

This guide is primarily written for those within supporting organisations already working with, or wishing to promote the establishment of, community groups to care for and protect vulnerable children. It highlights the role of supporting organisations in assisting communities to take action with children. This guide is not a ‘how to’ manual. Rather, it draws together experiences from children, from community group members and from staff of supporting organisations. These experiences and reflections will provide suggestions that can be adapted to different contexts to deliver quality and long-term care for children.
