The International Foster Care Organisation (IFCO) 2014 European Conference

IFCO

Waterford City, Ireland, 26-29 August 2014.

On 17 March 2014 registration for IFCO 2014 European Conference has been re-opened. Waterford City in Ireland has become an alternative location for the conference, following cancellation of the event in Kyiv, Ukraine - previously announced as IFCO 2014 hosts - due to current political and social crisis there. 

The theme of “Ensuring the Rights of the Child, and Family-based Services” chosen for the IFCO 2014 European Conference invites workshop ideas, plenary topics and attendees who envision foster care, and indeed, all alternative care as the holistic system that IFCO promotes. 

This will therefore include: 

  • preventative measures which support families to stay together,
  • quality of foster care and family
  • individual supports and intervention, reintegration of families
  • after care for care leavers, as well as
  • research, outcomes and impact of foster care at individual, family, societal, policy and international levels.
