Further details: The Alliance for Childhood serves as a network that facilitates reflection and action by people with concerns about the care and education of children.

It exists in the shared work and spirit of cooperation whereby all partners can find mutual support. It is a collaborative approach that is created by commitment and by the activity itself.

* Creating a network of Alliance partners to promote the aims and objectives amongst parents, childcarers, educators, healthcare professionals and within local government.
* Exchanging information, research and experience, thereby building up a shared picture to allow individual initiative.
* Collating regular reports from around the world. Disseminating information through conferences, publications, the media and the Alliance website.
