Events, Partnerships and Institutional Developments from the Child Visibility Initiative

A new podcast episode follows how visibility gaps emerge in care pathways and how measurement can help systems intervene earlier for children and families.

The Initiative signs a memorandum of understanding with an international child rights consortium to share tools, case studies, and joint advocacy around child visibility.

Updated guidance helps national partners structure Child Visibility reporting cycles, including recommended indicator packs and interpretation notes for decision-makers.

A new op-ed argues that child protection systems fail when children remain administratively invisible, and that shared metrics are essential for prevention at scale.

Academic partners join a multi-country validation effort to test Index constructs against longitudinal child welfare outcomes and administrative records.

An open session brings together data practitioners and child-rights advocates to examine ethical standards for collecting and publishing child visibility indicators.

In a new feature interview, the Initiative’s team explains why measurement is a child-protection tool and how the Index reframes prevention for governments.

A joint pilot with municipal social services in Central Europe tests how Index indicators can guide frontline teams assessing children at risk of invisibility.

Policymakers and civil society partners meet in Riga to discuss how child visibility data can strengthen prevention of social orphanhood before family separation occurs.
