British Ambassador Tina Redshaw commented:

Care for Children’s Group Head of Training, Mr Tim Taylor, will be moving to Phnom Penh this year from the UK, together with his wife Ruth and their four children. Tim will lead a Care for Children office that will work with MoSVY to develop family placement care as a positive alternative to institutional care for orphans and vulnerable children. Mr Taylor received a Masters in Social Work from Goldsmith University, and has 15 years’ experience of managing family placement and child protection in London. Tim is to act as a consultant to MoSVY, working closely with the Department of Child Welfare. This move signifies Care for Children’s expansion and growing impact on more Asian countries since the launch of our projects in China, Thailand, and Vietnam to fulfil their vision to see ‘a world of children in families’.
