Objectives

Established by Global Family Care Network in Scotland. Our goal is to equip leaders to conduct research and implement programs in community-based development, prevention of modern slavery, rehabilitation and psycho-therapeutic programs for victims of human trafficking, and orphan care. We are located in Falkirk, Scotland. Our office, trainings, and student accommodation are at St. James Church, built in 1898, and just a short walk from Falkirk’s downtown and restaurants, shopping, gyms, and a movie theatre. The St. James Research Centre is connected to a global network of experienced professionals in the field of community-based development, anti-trafficking prevention and rehabilitation programming, orphan care, and evaluation. Global Family incorporates evidence-based approaches to preventing trafficking and abuse, strengthening families and communities, providing services to victims of commercial sexual exploitation, and training caregivers. Our approaches are consistent with published and peer-reviewed studies, ​which we consistently review and incorporate.
