Family support

Family members have a protective role over children, benefiting from a close connection and intimate knowledge of children’s lives. They are an essential part of a child’s protective environment. Parents are often best positioned to notice changes in a child’s attitudes and behaviours. The family unit, as a conduit of culture and beliefs, plays a central role in shaping attitudes towards non-violence and affirming a sense of belonging. Families also play a key role in the reintegration of children victims of recruitment after their release and can help prevent re-recruitment.
