Values

Qualiy4Children has five main equal values which were considered during the project. These are:

Participation: People directly concerned by out-of-home child care have been actively involved in the project since 2004; these include children and young adults who have experiences in out-of-home care, families of origin, caregivers and social workers.

Gender Mainstreaming and Diversity: Gender mainstreaming and the diversity of all those involved in out-of-home care are reflected in the processes.

Partnership: People and organisations directly concerned by out-of-home child care have
the opportunity to join the project at national and international level.

Commitment: Q4C commits to the UN CRC.

Accountability and Sustainability: Q4C is accountable to the 3 organisations that created the project. Its sustainability will be ensured through a European network steered by the 3 organisations, which will ensure the promotion of the standards and the development of partnerships to advocate the improvement of the situation and development chances of children in out-of-home care.
