Promising practices in child protection is out now

The child protection network of Denmark is a professional network for NGO’s working in the care sector. On our page you will find our seminar series ‘Alternative care talks’ that aims at improving intra-sector knowlegde dispersion and help us build new innovative knowlegde. We wish to Increase knowledge on how to work with a rights-based approach to protect children from, and put an end to, domestic violence through expert presentations and working in groups with concrete examples.

In December 2019, the annual Resolution of the Rights of the Child addressed for the first time ever children without parental care in recognition of the vulnerability of this group of children. The purpose of these seminars is to explore how to use the Resolution and the UN Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children, in order to safeguard and promote the rights of children who have lost or are at risk of losing parental care

In this series of seminars we invite organizations engaged in international development to discuss and learn more about issues related to child protection and children living in alternative care. You are most welcome to participate no matter if you represent a small NGO, are a volunteer, work in research or come from a large international NGO. In December 2019, the UN Resolution of the Promotion and protection of the rights of children specifically focused, for the first time ever, on children without parental care in recognition of the vulnerability of this group of children. The purpose of these seminars is to explore how to use the Resolution and the UN Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children, in order to safeguard and promote the rights of children who have lost, or are at risk of losing, parental care. The seminars offer expert presentations on topics related to the Resolution and an opportunity to discuss and share experiences to learn from promising practices and improve the protection and the quality of alternative care..  

Following the seminars the Child Protection Network will publish ACTalk videos related to the topic of the seminar, which will present the highlights of the workshops through interviews with relevant specialist.
