CZ04: Vulnerable children and families

Hlavní stránka Projekty Ukončené projekty CZ04: Vulnerable children and families

Codification of legislation supporting families, substitute family care and system of care for vulnerable children

The project aims to support creation of new, unifying legislation in the field of protection of children and families.  The project is based on the assumption of creating  a system that would ensure consistent protection of children´s rights and fulfillment of their needs, a system that supports improvement of the quality of lives of children and families, eliminates discrimination and unequal approach to children and encourages versatile development of children in their natural family environment or  in a foster family environment,  all with children participating in decision-making processes that are of the most immediate concern for them.

The project will take a form of six key activities. Firstly, the cooperation with the project partner – will be established.  Consequently, the current system will be subject to analyses and the preparation of the objectives of the new legislation and the articulated bill to the Act “On the Protection of the Rights of Children, Support Families and Foster care” will commence.  In response to the new bill the amending directives  and implementing regulations will be further processed.  A part of the project is also preparation of the implementation (including a communication strategy and training). In the last phase of the project the new legislation will be pilot tested in practice. Apart from expert involvement of the project partner (round tables, colloquia) the integral part of the project will also be a wide expert discussion throughout all the phases of the preparation of the new legislation.

The project has an impact on the whole Czech Republic.  The project is funded through financial assistance under the EEA funds for the period 2009 - 2014 from the programme CZ04 "Vulnerable Children and Young People" and has been running since January 2014.
