Report on Family Care and Alternative Care in the Baltic Sea Region and the Tallinn Recommendations
Towards alternative family care in the Baltic Sea Region
During the CBSS Estonian Presidency 2014-2015 the Council of Baltic Sea States (CBSS) Secretariat, the Estonian Presidency of CBSS and the Expert Group for Cooperation on Children at Risk launched several reports on alternative care for children in the Baltic Sea Region. The Family Support and Alternative Care – The Baltic Sea States Regional Report 2015 provides a regional synergy of key data, analysis, conclusions and proposals for action. The background paper on family support and alternative care in the Baltic Sea Region offers a more comprehensive and detailed overview of the situation in the CBSS Member States and presents country-specific information and developments more in-depth.
In May 2015, Government representatives, experts and professionals from the Baltic Sea Region; Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Sweden and the UK endorsed the Tallinn Recommendations and Action Plan on Alternative Care and Family Support for the Baltic Sea Region. The recommendations and the reports highlight the urgency of integrated services with a low-threshold for children and families at risk ensuring timely and tailor-made support and the immediate and long-term interventions and follow-up of children at risk.
