The program director of Taganka Children's Fund ZP Borzov took part in a strategic planning session, "The search for new models of cross-sectoral cooperation between NGOs, government and business in the area of support for families and children."

More recently, this is unlikely to have happened. These 30 people, most likely, accusing each other of all sins went to each of his business. But the 25 - 27 November in Chelyabinsk, psychologists and priests of the diocese in one of the audience discussed the prevention of violence that occurs in the family, the possibility of pooling resources of secular and church social workers to assist these families. Combining all of one simple idea: the family is the most important thing to a person, especially a child. Seminar held program director of Taganka Children's Fund Borzov SP The seminar was attended parochial social workers, volunteers of the church service of charity, specialists in Chelyabinsk center "Family".

This is indeed a very sad situation for a family in a crisis when incompetent specialist is involved. The social worker who struggles to understand (or doesn’t know) how to help parents in crisis can contribute to the worsening of the situation rather than helping them. Unfortunately, for many families in Russia such situations are still a reality. This is why Taganka children’s fund (TCF) pays a lot of attention to development and realization of innovative programmes for skills improvement of specialists working with children. On the 29-31 October 2015 Sergey Borzov (TCF, expert of the Charitable foundation for preventing social orphanhood) conducted a seminar in Cherepovets in the north-west of Russia. The seminar was organized by the charitable foundation “Way home” (from Chelyabinsk in the Ural region of Russia). During these three days the interagency team was tackling the issue of the best practice in providing support to families which are affected by the alcohol dependency. Beneficiaries of the seminar included leaders of the projects, psychologists and social workers. In spite of the diverse range of issues the participants are working with in their projects (including families in difficult life situations, families with disabled members, substitute families and families with children up to 3 y.o.), in each of those projects there are cases affected by the alcohol dependency issue. During the seminar Sergey Borzov has proposed the new innovative procedure of engaging with families with this issue. This procedure has been piloted before and has shown high results rates.

«The socially-oriented NGOs have to realize that what the state offers is entering the market of social services and not the new system of budget funding allocation”, - according to Sergey Borzov this was the core motif of the meeting with editors of the leading news portals, business representatives and government authorities at the Moscow branch of the All-Russian civil front on the 26-27th October 2015. The meeting was entitled “Dialogue. Trust. Action” and aimed at development of the socially-oriented non-government organizations (NGOs). The Programme director of the Taganka children’s fund (TCF) – Sergey Borzov – participated in the event by presenting our understanding of the main challenges for effective implementation of preventive services for children and families at risk, including lack of legally defined definitions “factors of abuse risk”, “minimal age-related needs of the child”, undeveloped system of training and support for socially-oriented NGOs that provide services to children and families at risk. The meeting allowed to achieve agreements on participation of the TCF specialists in training processes for the staff of the department of guardianship and custody as well as cooperation with the National foundation for protection of children from abuse in tackling abovementioned issues.
