Our core purpose is to make a difference to the lives of vulnerable children and their families - so we have a strong focus on making an impact on policy and practice.
This is supported by the quality and relevance of our research and also by CRCF’s long-standing networks with policy makers, international and national child welfare organisations and local authorities.
