The Forum is open to all who share a commitment to supporting families to ensure that all children have the best start in life and optimal opportunities to succeed.
Dynamic workshops, plenaries and discussions showcase cutting edge research in child and family development. Presenters and participants share innovative practices, effective strategies, and challenges for building partnerships and strengthening families.
