Children protection guide now available in 12 languages

The ‘Children deprived of parental care found in an EU Member State other than their own’ guide is now available in twelve EU languages: Bulgarian, Croatian, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Romanian and Spanish

The guide provides practical suggestions on how to identify, refer and support children who are found in need of protection, without parental care, in another EU Member State. It elaborates on how to implement principles such as the right to be heard and how to ensure cihldren’s best interests when deciding on durable solutions.

The guide provides practical information to enhance national and transnational cooperation. Professionals, such as law enforcement and judicial authorities, social workers, health professionals, child protection officers, guardians, judges, lawyers, and authorities defining procedures and protocols, can benefit from this guidance.

FRA and the European Commission’s anti-trafficking Coordinator produced the guide.
