Objectives and results

The project specifically addresses the gap in knowledge and hands-on competencies on how to ensure practical co-operation between different countries and different responsible agencies regarding the assessment of the child's best interest in cases of exploited children to be returned to their home country. The project will identify the applicable international conventions, relevant case law in the countries participating in the project (SE, LY, LT) and practices in these countries. These will be used to gather data on children and young people up to the age of 18 that have for some reason become a case of cross-border child protection.
