Table 2 presents an overview of data collected from Franet on the number of children who fled Ukraine and were registered as unaccompanied in each EU Member State.
The starting point for collecting the data, or data reference point, are frequently different for each Member State, depending on the sources and reporting periods. Many of the totals are derived from additional contextual information or different sources. For example, some of the data sources are authorities responsible for child protection or guardianship. These caveats should be considered when interpreting or comparing the data.
