6.1.3.2018 - European Commission - Commission recommendation on measures to effectively tackle illegal content online

As a follow-up to the 28 September 2017 Communication on Tackling Illegal Content Online - Towards an enhanced responsibility of online platforms tackling illegal content online, the Commission has issued Recommendation on Measures to effectively tackle illegal content online, in which a set of operational measures are recommended - accompanied by the necessary safeguards - to be taken by companies and Member States to further step up this work before it determines whether it will be necessary to propose legislation. These recommendations apply to all forms of illegal content, including child sexual abuse material and incitement to hatred and violence (C(2018) 1177 final)

7.17.1.2018 - European Commission - Proposal for a Council recommendation on promoting common values, inclusive education, and the European dimension of teaching

This initiative proposes ways in which education can help young people understand the importance of and adhere to common values set out in Article 2 of the Treaty of the European Union. It aims at strengthening social cohesion and contributing to fight the rise of populism, xenophobia, divisive nationalism and the spreading of fake news. The proposal also strengthens inclusive education to promote quality education for all pupils. The proposal addresses the European dimension of teaching, learning about Europe's common heritage and diversity and the functioning of the EU.

It contains a specific paragraph on children at risk of exclusion:

"There should be more focus on value-based actions in the community for children at risk of exclusion; i.e. not only for early school leavers, but also for those who are suspended or expelled from one or more schools and marginalised. There were also calls for more support, including financial, for second/third chance initiatives, one-on-one learning adapted to individual needs, and mentoring for marginalised and excluded children."

10.9.3.2018 - Eurostat - harmonisation of statistics on forcibly displaced populations

On 8 March 2018, the United Nations Statistical Committee agreed on two documents which will improve the global availability of the data on asylum seekers, refugees and internally displaced populations (IDPs), the 'International Recommendations on Refugee Statistics' and the 'Technical Report on Internally Displaced Populations statistics'.

Nearly 40 countries and 15 international organisations were involved in the preparation of the documents. Eurostat, together with Statistics Norway and UNHCR, led the process.

Among the key achievements are the:

Creation of a statistical framework to set the terminology, concepts and classifications for refugee and IDP populations
Identification of basic, internationally comparable statistics and indicators
Recognition of appropriate data sources used for the collection of refugee and IDP statistics
Identification of indicators of refugee integration and well-being
Call for improved coordination at national level and the role of national statistical institutes in this area.

12.23.02.2018 - European migration network - The effectiveness of return in EU Member States

The EMN has published a Study and Executive summary entitled 'The effectiveness of return in EU Member States'. This study aims at analysing the impact of EU rules on return - including the Return Directive and related case law from the (CJEU) - on Member States’ return policies and practices and hence on the effectiveness of return decisions issued across the EU. The study also seek to provide an overview of the challenges encountered by Member States in effectively implementing returns, as well as identifying any good practices developed to ensure the enforcement of return obligations in full respect of fundamental rights, the dignity of the returnees and the principle of non-refoulement.

13.12.4.2018 - CJEU – Judgement on A. and S. v. Staatssecretaris van Veiligheid en Justitie – Preliminary ruling on right to family reunification of an unaccompanied child

This prominent preliminary ruling decides on the right to family reunification of a parents and the three siblings of an unaccompanied child, an Eritrean refugee, who arrived in the Netherlands and who was below the age of 18 at the time of the entry into the territory of the Netherlands and of the submission of her asylum application in that State as well as to family reunification, but had attained the age of majority during the asylum procedure.

The CJEU considered that making the right to family reunification under Article 10(3)(a) of Directive 2003/86 depend upon the moment at which the competent national authority formally adopts the decision recognising the refugee status of the person concerned and, therefore, on how quickly or slowly the application for international protection is processed by that authority, would call into question the effectiveness of that provision and would go against not only the aim of that directive, which is to promote family reunification and to grant in that regard a specific protection to refugees, in particular unaccompanied minors, but also the principles of equal treatment and legal certainty. Conversely, taking the date on which the application for international protection was submitted as that by reference which it is appropriate to assess the age of a refugee for the purposes of Article 10(3)(a) of Directive 2003/86 enables identical treatment and foreseeability to be guaranteed for all applicants who are in the same situation chronologically, by ensuring that the success of the application for family reunification depends principally upon facts attributable to the applicant and not to the administration such as the time taken processing the application for international protection or the application for family reunification.

Therefore, the CJEU ruled that: Article 2(f) of Directive 2003/86/EC of 22 September 2003 on the right to family reunification, read in conjunction with Article 10(3)(a) thereof, must be interpreted as meaning that a third-country national or stateless person who is below the age of 18 at the time of his or her entry into the territory of a Member State and of the introduction of his or her asylum application in that State, but who, in the course of the asylum procedure, attains the age of majority and is thereafter granted refugee status must be regarded as a ‘minor’ for the purposes of that provision.

14.7.3.2018 - EASO - Age assessment practice in Europe

The second edition of the EASO Practical Guide on age assessment has recently been published. The Guide provides updated guidance since the 2013 EASO Practical Guide, key recommendations and tools on the implementation of the best interests of the child when assessing the age of a person from a multidisciplinary and holistic approach. It also provides up-to-date information on the methods conducted by EU+ states and on new methods to be explored.

Age assessment methods and processes differ across EU Member States and reliable multidisciplinary and rights-compliant age assessment processes are not always guaranteed. To support national authorities in the safeguarding of the principle of the best interests of the child when conducting age assessment, the Practical Guide:

analyses the impact of age assessment on the applicant and the motivation for such an assessment;
offers guidance on the application of the necessary safeguards in the assessment process;
describes how to implement the assessment process using a holistic and multidisciplinary approach;
provides a model for a workflow highlighting a gradual process and use of methods to prevent unnecessary examinations;
explores new methods used to assess an applicant’s age, the latest developments in the methods already in use and the potential impact of each method on the rights of the applicant;
provides key recommendations to address practical challenges that might appear prior to, during and after the process;
contains a set of tools and reference documents to complement the information provided in the practical guide, including a glossary, a compilation of legal framework and policy-guidance documents, practical tools for ensuring the best interests of the child, and an updated overview of the methods and procedural safeguards in use in the EU+ territory.

15.3.2018 – FRA – Under watchful eyes – biometrics, EU IT systems and fundamental rights

This newly released FRA report outlines the fundamental rights implications of collecting, storing and using biometric and other data (including for children) in EU IT systems in the area of asylum and migration. Europe’s migration and security challenges have prompted the (EU) to develop and enhance multiple large-scale information technology systems (IT systems). Policy and legal developments in this area are evolving rapidly. The European Commission has proposed amending the legal bases for Eurodac and the Schengen Information System (SIS II), and is expected to propose amending the Visa Information System (VIS) in 2018. In addition, four new systems are planned: the Entry-Exit System (EES), the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS), the European Criminal Records Information System for Third-Country Nationals (ECRIS-TCN), and, most crucially, an IT system that seeks to ensure interoperability across existing and planned systems. Such systems provide invaluable support to border management efforts, but also have wide-ranging fundamental rights implications. The persons affected – including both regular travellers and persons who may be in situations of vulnerability – typically do not fully understand the implications of the use of such systems

17.Denmark – Bagforensag – Bake for a cause – child helplines

This project – an annual bake event for children - was started 13 years ago by Lars Moller, who works in the advertising industry. It is a wonderful example of someone in the business world using their creativity to make a difference for children.

The aim of the project is to help children in need in Denmark, and to empower children to help other children, with all funds raised used to support the national child helpline (run by Børns Vilkår) – in 2017 this amounted to approximately €300 000. Aside from the very welcome funding, the event raises awareness of the child helpline, including among children. It provides an opportunity to frame discussions on why children may need to call the helpline and to foster a sense of community. It has grown to become Denmark’s biggest annual event. Children also get to bake and sell their products and have some fun.

Who doesn’t like cake?! Around 90 000 children in 1 500 kindergartens, schools and day care centres mix, bake and serve up delicious sweet things and raise funds for the national child helpline on an annual basis.

In Denmark the bagforensag day is always on the Thursday of Week 41 (in October). Sponsors are also involved, generally as part of their corporate social responsibility remit, for example to help produce campaign materials and provide baking equipment or raw ingredients.

Some other countries are already involved in applying the concept (bake for a cause; funds raised go to an organisation that supports children in that country).

See a five-minute explanatory video: ps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gCcQOsi7_M

Child helplines are really important, firstly to children, and also as part of each national integrated child protection system. For several years now, the EU has provided an operational grant to Child Helpline International for European-level activities and standard setting and raising.

Lars Moller has invested hugely in this over the years and would love to see other countries apply the concept. If you would like to know more or, even better, to do this in your country, please contact Lars.moller@havas.com . He has also used his creativity to set up a national reading day for children...ask him to tell you more.

Raising awareness on the issue of young carers

18.Introduction

Are you aware of the circumstances of young carers, i.e. children and young persons under 18 who provide care, assistance or support to another family member – a parent, sibling or grandparent affected by chronic physical or mental health conditions? These young carers carry out significant caring tasks and assume a responsibility that would usually be associated with an adult. Data tends to be poor, apart from in the UK, but there are been some estimates: UK 2011: 215 000; Germany 230 000; Sweden: 25 000; Austria: 42 700. Even if you assume that a very small percentage of children in the EU act as young carers, e.g. 1%, that is still one million children.

On 6 March 2018, a very useful event in the European Parliament focused on young carers. The Report of the meeting is available here and gives a good overview of the issues, the challenges faced and what needs to be done. The situation of children and young people who refuse to take on this role was also addressed. The Press Release is available here. Now, at European level, efforts are underway to coordinate activities: An overview of Eurocarers activities on young carers is available here. Aside from advocacy, Eurocarers are involved in two EU-funded (Erasmus+ and Horizon 2020) projects on the topic:

Innovative School Education Methodologies and Tools for Guaranteeing Social Inclusion of Young Carers (EDY-Care) – leaflet available here (and see below).

In the framework of this project, Eurocarers have launched a call for good practices to promote young carer-friendly school environments. More details are available here.

Psychosocial Support for Promoting Mental Health and Well-being among adolescent Young Carers in Europe (Me-We) - leaflet available here (and see below).

20.Eurocarers - Edy-care – Innovative school education methodologies and tools for guaranteeing the social inclusion of young carers

The EU funded project Edy-Care project aims to empower teachers and other school staff (e.g., school nurses, psychologists, social workers, management) in upper secondary education (ISCED-3 level) to recognise adolescent young carers which are adolescents between 16-19 years old which have a significant role in caring for family member who are ill, disabled or misuse drugs or alcohol. The projects aims at identify them in classes and maximize their learning opportunities, while ensuring their social inclusion. The project runs from October 2017 – March 2020.

In the remit of this project, they are collecting good practices to promote young carers-friendly school environments and implement them across Europe. They are interested in good practices regarding educational strategies, didactical approaches and organisational adjustments that can support young carers in their educational career (by maintaining a regular frequency of classes, reaching learning goals, finalising formal education of high school, integrating with other students).

The experiences they are looking for can be expressly targeted to young carers, as well as targeted to other typologies of students but transferrable to young carers.

In detail:

1. Good practices in educational settings that help young/young adult carers to attend classes, to achieve good results, to remain in education and/or to be socially included

2. Good practices in the educational settings that aim to accommodate the needs of students (other than carers) and that could be transferred to the case of young/young adult carers

3. Good practices supporting young/young adult carers in fields connected with educational settings (e.g. sport/leisure/religious centres).

The project targets young carers aged from 16 to 19 but this consultation is broader (young carers or young adult carers any age).

The good practice can be something very practical but also a rule/law
The good practice can be at local or regional or national level
They are looking for good practices that have been already evaluated. Yet, if the one you know hasn’t been evaluated yet, it can anyway be shared.

For further information, please contact Francesca Centola – Eurocarers Project Officer- at fc@eurocarers.org.

Please share any good practices by kindly filling in this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd1dFHfFO1-SvE5-IGVAjLG0q-icKBLVpkim20Sj8zXxX2_hw/viewform

21.Me-we - Young carers - Psychosocial support for promoting mental health and wellbeing among adolescent young carers in Europe

This EU funded project under the Horizon 2020 Programme aims to strengthen the resilience of Adolescent Young Carers in transition to adulthood (15-17 years old) in order to impact positively on their mental health and well-being and to mitigate the negative influence of psychosocial and environmental factors in their lives. The research and innovation project will run from January 2018 to March 2012.

23.21.2.2018 - Committee on the rights of the child call for EU-wide ban on child immigration detention

The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child urged the EU to put an end to child detention in the context of migration, even as a measure of last resort, as it is contrary to the best interests of the child and can never be a ground for protecting children. In the case of children with their families, non-custodial solutions must be found for the entire family. The Committee highlighted some promising practices currently developed in some Member States.

30.20.3.2018 - Unicef - Innocenti Research Centre – Protected on paper? An analysis of Nordic country responses to asylum-seeking children'

This report covers the legal and procedural standards for migrant and refugee children, and their application on the ground in five North European countries: Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. It highlights both gaps, mainly in the areas of protection, healthcare and education services and good practice and interviews with leading migration and child rights experts. It also provides detailed recommendations on how procedural safeguards should be strengthened to comply with international commitments. The report finds that, despite proper legal and procedural measures being largely in place, implementation lapses expose many children to significant risks in the asylum-seeking process. It concludes that there is a clear tendency to give precedence to migration law over international obligations under the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

39.4.4.2018 – Recommendation CM/Rec(2018)5 of the Committee of Ministers to member States concerning children with imprisoned parents

Children with imprisoned parents are estimated to number two million in the 47 Council of Europe member States. They are often invisible and unsupported and the child’s rights, including the right to maintain direct contacts with both parents, unless it is not in the child’s best interests, are not always respected. The topic was discussed at the November 2017 European Forum on the rights of the child (report available soon).

This Recommendation, together with the very comprehensive explanatory memorandum, building on very solid groundwork including by civil society and the COPE network, constitutes a very important milestone. They are also relevant to EU Council Framework decisions. If you work in the justice, child protection, education, or health sectors, please read!
