In
Europe, millions of children experience abuse or neglect at the hands of those
who should care for them. Yet, how many of these children get help, which
services they receive by which agency remains largely unknown. Moreover,
countries are hardly aware which maltreatment turns fatal. This constitutes a
major knowledge gap that is likely due to inconsistent ways of surveying and
reporting on child maltreatment services across Europe. Without this
information, we cannot know how the systems work, what additional preventive
efforts are required, if the interventions fit the victims’ needs or
if the most vulnerable groups are properly identified. The proposed project
addresses this gap by creating a network of experts in child maltreatment and
relevant stakeholders and links them in working groups, in order to promote the
development of a rigorous, consistent, and comparable methodology for the
collection of surveillance data on child maltreatment and maltreatment-related
fatalities. Researchers, policymakers, administrators and practitioners will
identify best-practice methods of surveillance and recommend efficient ways of
implementing them across Europe. Importantly, this network will invite youth
and adult survivors of child maltreatment to collaborate in all working group
decision-making processes. The four working groups within this network will
focus on: 1) definition and operationalization of child maltreatment; 2)
promoting secondary analyses; 3) participatory approaches to child maltreatment
surveillance; and 4) implementation and dissemination. Final products of these
projects will include guidelines for implementation of best practices in child
maltreatment surveillance across Europe.
