\nDescription
\nAround the world\, millions of children grow u p without a family in orphanages and residential care. Billions of dollars of charity funds from private US donors every year goes to support those programs. While there is extensive evidence that orphanage placement is da ngerous for children\, there is now a controversy at the United Nations as to whether small group home placement is an appropriate or necessary form of transition from orphanages to community inclusion. The UN Convention o n the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) now recognizes that child ren have a right to live and grow up with a family\, but older UN standard s under the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) still allow for in stitutional or residential care placement. This webinar will examine the l egal and policy issues under discussion\, as well as findings from researc h about the dangers of group care for children.
