CFAB's Champions for Children Campaign: ONE DAY TO GO

Many of the children we support arrive carrying deep emotional trauma and face overwhelming challenges adjusting to life in the UK.

CFAB's post-placement support programme provides award-winning advocacy and practical support that allows these children not just to survive, but to belong.

From TOMORROW at 12pm until 16 June, your donation towards our post-placement support programme will be DOUBLED.

This month, our inter-country social worker Michael Nwoye, was invited to speak on behalf of CFAB at the Family Law Bar Association (FLBA)’s 43rd Cumberland Lodge Conference in Windsor.

Michael addressed the real-world challenges of cross-border safeguarding and enforcing child welfare decisions in international family cases.

Michael highlighted the importance of immigration status for children and prospective carers, the complexities of obtaining overseas assessments, and why local social workers in the countries where prospective carers live are crucial to culturally informed and credible assessments.

The 1996 Hague Convention also remained central to his discussion, as it provides a framework for jurisdiction, emergency protection, and international cooperation in cross-border family cases.
