Skills used in practice of family support workforce are implemented in different settings and frameworks. The conceptual assumptions and epistemological frameworks of diversity are a challenge in family support as a unique child-rights and child-protection perspective. Various paradigms of intervention, different sectors and disciplinary involvement indicate the need to systematize and clarify knowledge in the field. More precisely, we need to understand practical aspects of family support interventions related to skills that are generic (core) or specific for professionals from different disciplines and paraprofessionals engaged in relevant social sub-systems what is being done within into one of the action work streams of the EU COST EuroFam-Net action. Family support workforce skills is an emergent concept and any theoretical contributions, debate, or research related to it needs to be intensified and duly verified to allow for the establishment of standardized framework for family support workforce skills. Such a framework can significantly contribute to a better understanding and practical application of this approach in different professional and national contexts. Finally, some of the implications of this conceptualization are given, such as a need for communication and exchange between different sectors and professions in order to better identify, synergize and ameliorate core and other skills and their use in different family support settings, including parenting support; The challenge for in- and pre-service training in a number of professions and areas, and that is crucial to reach and acknowledge voices of all relevant actors: families, parents, children, practitioners, activists, policy makers, researchers and academics in the field, in order to develop common understanding of skills needed for genuine family and parenting supportive practice.
