In order to contribute to current international debate around residential care, the webinar offered a review of current scientific evidence on residential care as one of a range of alternative care options, and discussed what researchers have identified in terms of specific challenges and opportunities of its usage, aspects that constitute quality, and outcomes for children.

We welcomed a variety of speakers from around the world:

• Robert Porter, CELCIS
• Miriana Giraldi, CELCIS
