__In this meeting, EurofamNet will present 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, policy-lessons that advice next steps for European evidence-informed decision making will be also presented. High-level policy makers at the European level will participate in the event, reflecting on the implicatins for the implementation and sustainability of hig-quality child and family support provision in Europe. The overall objectives of this meeting are:
\\ \\
*To gain a better understanding of the principles, standards and indicators that may assure quality provision in child and family support in Europe.

*To analyse the situation in terms of quality assurance in child and family care in the EU Member States.
