UN Convention Child Rights: Rehabilitation Hierarchy
The U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child outlines a preferred order for a child's care and rehabilitation when they cannot be cared for by their parents. The aim is always to keep the child within their family or community environment if possible.
Preferred Child Rehabilitation Options
- Family-Based Care: The primary goal is rehabilitation within the child's own family or extended family.
- Alternative Family Care: If family care isn't possible, alternatives like foster care within the same country are preferred. Adoption, especially by parents sharing the child's cultural background, is also prioritized over other forms.
Residential/Institutional Care as Last Resort
Residential/Institutional Care (Option B) is considered the last resort. This option is typically pursued only when other, more family-oriented solutions are unavailable or unsuitable for the child's specific needs and protection.
