This brief was developed under the global Task Force on the Social Service Workforce in Care Reform of the Transforming Children’s Care Global Collaborative—a community of organizations and actors working to advocate for the UN General Assembly’s (UNGA) Resolution on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Children (UNGA 2019, A/RES/74/133). It was developed to help government policy and decisionmakers understand the essential role of the social service workforce and how to strengthen that workforce in line with their national commitments to care reform and regional and global conventions. This brief includes high level guidance, recommendations and practical examples from diverse contexts for policy and decision-makers to consider in developing, supporting and strengthening the social service workforce.
