The “Brave Hearts in Care: Building Trust, Confidence, and Connections” conference aims to enhance the outcomes for children and young people in foster care by focusing on the critical importance of relationships.
IFCO is delighted to announce that in partnership with Staf (Scottish Throughcare and Aftercare Forum) and the Fostering Network the international IFCO conference 2025 will be held in Glasgow, Scotland. More information to follow, including a call for paper submissions, but for now we really look forward to welcoming delegates to another amazing IFCO conference.
