Quality4Children

(Q4C) is an initiative with global reach dedicated to improving the quality of care for children and young people.

Quality4Children provides training programmes, consultancy and tools that help equip people working in the field of child and youth care with stronger relational child and youth care competence. We offer services that foster meaningful relationships and uphold international standards of child and youth care.

Improving the quality of services with families in vulnerable situations, as well as those in alternative care, is a strategic goal of many countries and organizations. Strengthening the competence of caregivers and child and youth care workers is essential for driving care reform and fostering positive changes that benefit children and young people.

Our work focuses on the quality of relationships, systemic development, and equitable access to professional learning. As a values-driven organization within civil society, Quality4Children aims to empower caregivers, child and youth care workers, and organizations through:

  • Providing competency-based, participatory, and reflective learning and development opportunities
  • Offering support for the implementation of quality standards in child and youth care settings
  • Encouraging the exchange of ideas and practice among those who provide care and work in the field of child and youth care

We align our efforts with international frameworks, including the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), the UN Guidelines on the Alternative Care of Children, the European Quality for Children Standards, and the FICE Quality Standards. Additionally, we collaborate with local organizations, partners, and international entities such as CYC Net, SOS Children’s Villages, and FICE International.
