dc.description.abstract | "Lack of accurate information disempowers refugees and migrants. Without trustworthy sources of accurate information, refugees and migrants experience additional stress and anxiety; they feel lost and have no understanding of what is happening or what will happen to them. Lack of accessible information also puts states in competition with smugglers and other criminal networks on communicating about migration pathways.<br/ ><br/ >The problem is even more serious when it comes to refugee and migrant children, especially if they are unaccompanied or separated from their families. To provide information to children is more than handing them a brochure on rights and procedures. It means talking to them in a way that they understand, depending on their age, gender and culture. It means building a relationship of trust. It means helping them make sense of what they are facing when they arrive in Europe.<br/ ><br/ >The reality is that information, when it is available, most often is not provided in a child-friendly and age-appropriate manner.<br/ ><br/ >This is why Council of Europe member states adopted, in May 2017, an Action Plan on Protecting Refugee and Migrant Children in Europe to provide a comprehensive response to various problems identified in terms of access to rights and procedures and protection from diff erent forms of violence<br/ >and integration. As a priority action it aims to support Council of Europe member states in promoting good migration policies by ensuring that all children in a migration context are provided with relevant information on their rights and on procedures, in a child-friendly manner.<br/ ><br/ >In this sense, this handbook is a practical guide for frontline professionals on how to accompany a child at each stage of his or her journey: from arrival at our borders to fi nding durable solutions towards integrating into the host country. The handbook offers food for thought and practical applications to encourage professionals to think critically about how they communicate with children and to encourage the respect of their rights, including the right to be heard and to participate in the procedures aff ecting them." | en |
