About the International Au Pair Association (IAPA)
The International Au Pair Association (IAPA) was established in 1994 by cultural exchange organisations seeking to improve and protect the rights of au pairs and host families around the world. The association has been responsible for the creation of internationally recognised guidelines for au pairs and exchange programmes. IAPA’s 150 plus member organisations agree to abide by the IAPA code of conduct, which signifies competence, fair dealing and high integrity.
In 2006, IAPA established the European Committee for Au Pair Standards (ECAPS). Through formulating standardised definitions, ECAPS seeks to create a common platform for the development of quality au pair programmes throughout Europe. The first published draft of ECAPS definitions will be presented during WETM-IAC
