On 4 November, the network met jointly with the Asylum and Migration Management Network, focusing on the implementation of the new rules governing the allocation of responsibilities among Member States and the safeguards available for vulnerable applicants, including children.
During the meetings on 5 and 6 November, participants exchanged experiences on wider vulnerability-related issues and identified priority areas for the network’s work in 2027. A key theme was ensuring continuity in vulnerability assessments, from screening procedures through to the completion of asylum proceedings.
FRA contributed by presenting its latest work, including on monitoring and investigations in migration and asylum contexts, as well as the second edition of the Guardianship Handbook, which was published on 4 November.
