Quality Assurance in Child and Family Support in Europe: Policy lessons for evidence-informed decision making

In this open event, EurofamNet presented its work in developing and implementing a quality assurance protocol in child and family support that is expected to produce an evidence-based and culturally-informed novel model for integrated care. Feeding all national efforts into the international collaborative context, a roadmap that identifies next steps for European evidence-informed decision making was also presented. It is expected that these policy guidelines will support the implementation and sustainability of high-quality child and family care.
 
High-level policy makers at the European level participated in the event,reflecting on the implications for the implementation and sustainability of high-quality child and family support provision in Europe. 

The event was dedicated to our beloved colleague Nevenka Zegarac, whose dedication, wisdom and passion were instrumental throughout the work of EurofamNet, as well as in the development of this project specifically. She will be dearly missed.
