IFCW is reviewing its membership strategy in consultation with members, former members and non-members

All current IFCW members should have received an email from Sally Whitaker asking them to complete a questionnaire online using Survey Monkey. Survey Monkey is very easy to use and it should take no more than around 15 minutes of your time to complete. If you have not received this request, and the additional information about the above consultation process, please contact Sally on sally@childreninwales.org.uk and the survey and other information will be sent to you.

A second survey has been sent to an extensive list of former and non- IFCW members who have at some time in the past had some involvement with IFCW. If you know of any organisations you would think would be interested in completing the survey, or if you are a non-member visiting this website directly, please contact Sally with the name and email contact for the organisation at the above address and she will forward the Survey Monkey link.

The email addresses of those who complete the survey will be entered into a prize draw, and the winner will receive $50 worth of vouchers

Your thoughts and views are crucial to the success of this work and we hope very much that you will be able to find the time to complete the questionnaire.


What is the International Forum for Child Welfare?

The International Forum for Child Welfare is an international nongovernmental organization dedicated to the promotion of the rights and well being of children globally which recognizes the contribution of effective leadership in the challenge of making the world a better place for children.

IFCW is founded on respect for children’s rights and committed to responding to their needs. Comprised of leading child welfare organizations throughout the world, the IFCW believes that by strengthening the capacity of organizations through leadership development, identification and exchange of effective practice and promoting collaborative partnerships, the well being of children can be significantly improved.

 

Mission and Organization

Our mission is to work for children worldwide to improve the quality of their lives, and to enhance opportunities for the development of their full potential.

The International Forum for Child Welfare (IFCW) is an international non-governmental organization (INGO) chartered in the Canton of Geneva under the laws of Switzerland, and in consultative status (Category 11) with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.

The IFCW was founded in 1989 "to strengthen national non-governmental child welfare organizations worldwide through capacity building and to collaborate on new initiatives on behalf of this planet's most valuable resource - children."
