This is a document on the key themes of the RAN Families, Communities & Social Care (FC&S) Working Group. These key themes are all topics related to:

The RAN FC&S Working Group constituency comprises family and community workers as well as social care practitioners. It is currently chaired by Milla Perukangas (Network for Religious and Traditional Peacemakers, Finn Church Aid, Finland) and Angela Antonova (Bulgarian Association of Social Workers; Network of Psychologists, Bulgaria).

This working group was established in 2020 and combines efforts of the previous Youth, Families and Communities Working Group (co-chaired by Werner Prinzjakowitsch and Kelly Simcock (until July 2019) and Milla Perukangas (from July 2019 on)) and the Health and Social Care Working Group (co-chaired by Sergej Erdelja and René Zegerius).
