In June 2010, the Better Care Network launched the Better Care Network Toolkit. The BCN Toolkit has been developed to support practitioners around the world in planning for and delivering better care for children who require an out-of-home placement. It contains a selection of practical guides and manuals, chosen as examples of good practice and for their global relevance particularly for low resource settings. They cover the types of policies required to support a quality care system, and practice guidance and tools for the delivery of alternative care. The BCN Toolkit can be used and adapted to serve as a professional development tool for practitioners worldwide. The BCN Toolkit is now available as a ‘Practitioner’s Portal’ on the BCN website: http://bettercaretoolkit.org/bcn/toolkit/. To support toolkit users, the toolkit website includes: a toolkit guide, glossary of key terms, and advanced search function.
