Summary: Various care systems exist for children living in alternative care which aim to ensure and improve their chances of development. However, inadequate care can hinder this development and result in children’s fundamental rights being violated. Against this background, SOS Children’s Villages, with the support of various partners, is organising the Quality in Alternative Care Conference in Prague, Czech Republic, in April 2011.
On 4-6 April four key-note speeches and more than 100 paper presentations and workshops will be offered. Paper sessions and workshops are centred on the conference’s main topics:
- Quality management in alternative care
- Changes in policies and practices in correlation with international document
- De-institutionalisation processes, and
- Special quality requirements
Within these topics, the conference will offer focus areas such as “models of alternative child care”, “child centred approach” or “child protection” to choose from. Additionally, a panel discussion, a market place, a round-table and networking opportunities will keep the participants busy.
More details and the titles of all workshops and paper sessions can be found at the conference website!
To benefit from the early bird fees we kindly ask you to register before February 4, 2011. Please find the registration form here.
