Summary
“SafeGuard”concentrates on Italy as one of the key and main entry points to Europe for COM from the Mediterranean coasts, but it will ensure a wider scope through the involvement of networks from other EU countries that will play a crucial role in informing and orienting the process development and enlarging its scope. Particularly the initiative will involve as partners NIDOS Foundation (NL), a consolidated and experienced network of guardians, referent of the ENGI (EU Network of Guardianship Institutions), and will count on associates like the International Social Service (ISS), present in 140 countries worldwide, ARCI, an Italian organization well-rooted at national/local level, the Municipality of Catania, and the Italian National Authority for Children and Adolescents which is engaged on the reform of guardianship at national level.
