The Foster Care Research Center is the scientific research initiative of Centro Studi Affido, an Italian non-profit organisation committed to promoting children’s rights, family-based care, and the well-being of children, young people, and families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Center brings together academics, researchers, and professionals from different disciplines, including social work, pedagogy, psychology, sociology, and social policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through empirical studies, interdisciplinary collaboration, and international scientific exchange, we seek to advance knowledge on foster care, child protection, alternative care, and transitions to adulthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our work connects scientific research with professional practice and public policy, promoting evidence-informed approaches to strengthening child and family welfare systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
