Updating FRA’s guardianship for unaccompanied children research

FRA held an inception meeting on 23 October with its research network, FRANET, to discuss updating its report on Guardianship systems for children deprived of parental care in the EU.

The research will provide an overview of changes to law and practice in the assignment of guardians for the protection of unaccompanied children during the last five years.

Discussions focused on the questionnaire, methodology and data collection.

The research should be published in 2021.
