Barnahus Quality Standard on Child Protection

The Barnahus Quality Standard on Child Protection provides guidance to Barnahus professionals on child protection practice in Barnahus. It aims to contribute to excellence in child protection practice in Barnahus, solid collaboration with professionals and agencies that have a formal role in child protection, and a balanced approach, which supports protection, justice and recovery of each child referred to Barnahus.

The standard has been developed through an international collaborative effort, involving professionals and experts from Europe and the US in written consultations and focus group discussions. The standard was developed in the context of the EU co-funded project Promise Soteria. We gratefully acknowledge the contributions of all individuals who supported this work.
