Summary/Abstract: Family support professional skills is a broad concept that includes a variety of knowledge, attitudes, traits and technical abilities. In an attempt to catalog family support professional skills, a group of family support experts, researchers and stakeholders gathered around the COST network CA18123 – The European Family Support Network A bottom-up, evidence-based and multidisciplinary approach. In order to generate existing knowledge from the literature and achieve standardization of skills in the field of family support, a consensus building design was created among experts, professors, decision makers and practitioners in the field of family support. The findings suggest that the consensus building workshop had similar results to the findings of the systematic literature review in which skills were divided into: attitudes and characteristics of professionals, specific knowledge and technical skills. Findings from the workshop provided clear information for the structure of the Delphi study. The text discusses different models of consensus building, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as arguments for choosing a Delphi study. Basic considerations of the Delphi method in the context of consensus building on family support skills will be presented as well as steps in constructing the approach.
