9/ And thanks to YOU for reading through to the end of this long thread!

We look forward to taking these ideas forward with others.

We would love to hear your thoughts on what we've found.

8/ Thank you 🙏 to the children and young people who contributed to the #DGD21 on their personal #careexperiences, to @royalsoced.bsky.social & #DANIDA for your support & to our partners for your insights & contributions.

7/ We suggest a rights-based approach to well-being outcomes that is based on the full spectrum of children’s human rights.

6/ We propose by involving children in the design of well-being outcomes, measures are more likely to reflect the intersecting social realities in which they live to ensure that the inequalities in well-being outcomes of care-experienced children form part of the research agenda.

5/ Key findings included the limited mention of domains of identity, inclusion, quality services, safety, support and trust, as central to the more holistic understandings of well-being that care-experienced children raised in consultations in the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child DGD 2021.

4/ Summary:
Children in alternative care score consistently lower on measures of well-being outcomes. But, research on children’s well-being outcomes & the fulfilment of their human rights have overlooked their experiences. So, this scoping review aims to understand children’s well-being outcomes…

3/ A call to:

🟣 Specifically consider the experiences of children in alternative care, as a way to improve all children's wellbeing outcomes.

🟢 Ensure that their wellbeing outcomes are contextualised using intersectionality & all human rights.

2/ Our key conclusions from this Scoping Review include:

We observed that:

🟠 Adult-defined #wellbeing #outcomes lead to gaps

🔵 Clear definitions of children’s wellbeing outcomes are often absent in the literature, and there's uncertainty around categorising domains and indicators.
