This study discusses policy recommendations for integrated child welfare management that extends the current managerial approach, public-private cooperations in child welfare management. To explore a better approach to child welfare management, we conducted focus interviews with experts and analyzed experts’ advices and opinions. We found that experts put a value to legislate children and the establishment of the Framework Act on Children. It was also requested to establish a coherent administrative and reporting system for child welfare. Also, we should develop ‘children’s rights’ and ‘children’s first interests’ as measurable child policy evaluation indicators, and it is critical to expand the target of child welfare policies from ‘children’ to ‘the entire family’. Last, children should be guaranteed dignity and rights as human beings. And the healthy life of children along with inclusive and fair education and welfare should go with policies and administrative services. As a result, there are two main reasons for putting together experts’ opinions. First, integration in an organic and complementary sense for child welfare management of sustainable development. Second, integration in the sense of establishing a cooperative network that reflects the voices of children. This suggests the need for an integrated management plan of Korea’s child welfare management in policy terms, and means that it should be done in a sustainable cooperative network in terms of children’s rights.
