Child First

Child First is a legal and social approach prioritizing the well-being of children in situations involving custody, family disputes, or safety concerns. It emphasizes finding solutions that keep children safe, stable, and connected to their families whenever possible, rather than focusing solely on parental rights or procedural rules. The goal is to reduce trauma by ensuring children’s needs and best interests come first, promoting healthy development and relationships with caregivers. This approach encourages collaborative and child-centered decision-making, aiming for outcomes that support children’s long-term health and happiness.
