Summary
The E-PROTECT II project in Italy, coordinated by Defence for Children International Italia and the Department of Juvenile and Community Justice, promotes inter-institutional cooperation action to support the full transposition and implementation of the EU Victims’ Rights Directive (2012/29/EU) in relation to child victims of crime.
E-PROTECT II is designed to build upon the results achieved by the E-PROTECT project with the overarching aim to bring more light in terms of how Directive 2012/29/EU has been transposed in 10 EU Member States (MSs), what Individual Needs Assessment Methodologies (IAMs) exist in the examined MSs and how they are applied. On this basis, the E-PROTECT project team developed its own IAM and Policy Guidelines with view of introducing them to practitioners from Austria, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy & Romania. At the same time, E-PROTECT delivered this innovative online platform which serves not only as a virtual library providing useful resources, but is also capable of hosting online events, and facilitating the consolidation of the E-PROTECT community, as it provides a safe space for communication between professionals in the field of child protection.
