The Network of Organizations for Children of Serbia – MODS in partnership with UNICEF and with the technical support of SeConS development initiative group, has conducted a national survey in order to determine the existence and functionality of inter-sectoral cooperation in the protection of children from abuse and neglect, as well as obtaining guidelines for working on its promotion. Full support was given by the Republic Institute for Social Protection which also encouraged centres for social protection to participate in this initiative.
The results of this survey have been summarized in the report “Cross-sectoral cooperation in protecting children from abuse and neglect in local governments – the analysis of local agreements”, which have been compiled by the researchers of the SeConS development initiative group, this further served as a basis for “The Guidelines for the Improvement of Inter-sectoral Cooperation for Protecting Children from Abuse and Neglect in Local Self-governments”.
Based on the results of the research, a map has been created which provides an overview of the municipalities where there are inter-sectoral local agreements for the protection of children from abuse and neglect. In addition, the map contains information on current agreements on inter-sectoral cooperation in the implementation of the Protocol for the Protection from Violence in Local Self-governments.
The research is an integral part of the IPA II project – Protection of Children from Violence and Promotion of Social Inclusion of Children with Disabilities in the Western Balkans and Turkey, which is implemented in cooperation with the Ministry of Labour, Employment, Veteran and Social Affairs, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development of the Government of the Republic of Serbia and UNICEF, with financial support from the European Union.
