How to Convey Child-Friendly Information to Children in Migration

This handbook is a practical guide for frontline professionals on how to accompany a child at each stage of his or her journey: from arrival at European borders to finding durable solutions towards integrating into the host country. The handbook offers food for thought and practical applications to encourage professionals to think critically about how they communicate with children and to encourage the respect of their rights, including the right to be heard and to participate in the procedures affecting them. Empowering children to access their rights through child-friendly information is a key step towards increasing their protection from all forms of violence, abuse and exploitation. It is taking them out of a precarious and dangerous situation and steering them to a safer future.
