International Children’s Rights (Advanced LL.M.) | Meet the Guest Lecturer: Ms. Bep van Sloten

In each episode, we share a short conversation with an inspiring guest lecturer visiting the Master of Laws: Advanced Studies in International Children’s Rights programme at Leiden University. In this episode, Laura Marchetti speaks with Ms. Bep van Sloten, an international alternative care consultant who joined the programme as a guest lecturer for the Child Protection and Children’s Rights course. Ms. van Sloten reflects on the changing understanding of alternative care and the global shift away from institutional care towards deinstitutionalisation. She also shares the perspective and experience she brings to the programme and closes with a final message for students.
