Children And Families Across Borders (CFAB)

Children and Families Across Borders (CFAB) identifies and protects children who have been separated from their families in complex and often dangerous situations due to conflict, trafficking, migration, family breakdown or asylum-related issues. As the only UK charity with a qualified team of international child protection professionals and the only UK member of the International Social Service (ISS) network, we can protect children where others can’t. In an increasingly globalised world, greater numbers of children are finding themselves separated from their families across international borders. We provide our expertise and experience to local authorities, the courts and other public agencies to help ensure the best possible outcomes for children through our Advice Line, casework services and specialist training. Since we were founded in 1955, we estimate that we have helped almost 300,000 children through our Advice line and almost 30,000 through our casework. CFAB exists to ensure that every child in the UK has the right to care, protection and family life, no matter where they come from.
