Around 165 children in institutional care

The number of children in institutional care has fallen sharply and the Child Care and Protection Agency (CPA) in collaboration with relevant stakeholders is in the process of developing a national policy document for such children.

According to a GINA press release, Director of the CPA, Ann Greene, said that the document which is to be completed by the end of 2016 will focus on areas of supporting, protecting and caring for children who are placed in institutional care.
