ABSTRACT: This special issue, dedicated to the Xth EUSARF conference which was held at the University of Padua in Italy in collaboration with iaOBERfcs, showcases a wealth of investigative experience with vulnerable children and families from around the world. We are invited to explore culture, relationships, trauma and a wide range of care-giving contexts. The articles critically examine conceptual frameworks and methodologies with the aim of improving our evidence base for best practice. All have powerful clinical implications. The collection as a whole manifests the diversity and the commonality of challenges facing children, families, practitioners, managers and researchers in different parts of the world. Emerging from a strong commitment to international collaboration, this special issue reinforces our conviction that cross-national dialogue around research can greatly extend and enrich knowledge. In the early twenty-first century opportunities to capitalise on such global potentialities are increasing exponentially.
