Dear friends and colleagues, 

As we move towards the end of the year, our network continues to bring together inspiring practices and fresh ideas to strengthen family and child support systems across Europe.

We are delighted to invite you to our upcoming European Peer Exchange on 19 November, “Focus: The House of the Child in Belgium”. This webinar will dive into the Belgian model of integrated family and child support services, exploring how “Houses of the Child” operate in practice and what lessons can be drawn for other countries. Register and read more here.

Earlier this autumn, we hosted the event “Breaking silos, building futures: Policy innovations for integrated family and child support”, which brought together experts, practitioners, and policymakers to exchange innovative approaches to cross-sector collaboration. You can now access all presentations and key resources from the event here. To stay updated on future Observatory activities, publications, and peer exchanges, we encourage you to sign up to our dedicated mailing list via this link.

You can also revisit our recent Breakfast Bytes webinar: Family Education to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse, featuring valuable insights and expert perspectives on early intervention and child protection.

Finally, we invite you to check out the latest LINK Course on Understanding Bullying – a practical online training opportunity for parents and carers.

Let’s continue learning from one another and working together to build inclusive, supportive environments for all families in Europe.

Happy reading!
