The theme of “Pathways: A lifelong understanding of education, trauma, intervention and success” chosen for the IFCO 2016 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.

The aim of the conference is to create an equal platform for all stakeholders including foster parents, foster families, children in foster care, care leavers, birth families, social workers, professionals, academics, policy makers and all who are interested in family-based care to share and understand their role and responsibilities in supporting children in care and care leavers.
