The workshop focuses on the question of best practice in the implementation of quality standards for care processes in professional out-of-home care settings. The main focus is to encourage the exchange of experiences of professionals concerning challenges and best practices along concrete ways of implementing quality standards. In addition, the workshop should help to identify and understand structural differences in the countries of the participants that facilitate and/or hinder quality development processes in child protection services and out-of-homecare facilities. We will identify best practice examples and possible traps in the process of implementation.
