A readiness-based framework for recognising change in street-connected children through repeated, observable practice.
Recovery must become observable
Calm behaviour on one day cannot carry a major protection decision. RMFSL looks for patterns in emotional regulation, cooperation and social connection across repeated activities and everyday routines.
The caregiver matters too
A child may show readiness before the receiving family is prepared. Caregiver reflection, understanding and routine are therefore considered alongside the child’s progress.
Readiness informs judgment
ThriveMeasure uses a four-point observation scale and a transition threshold to strengthen consistency. It supports professional judgment rather than replacing it, and it allows transition to wait when safety or readiness remains unclear.
