The role and mandate of Children's Ombudspersons in Europe: safeguarding and promoting children's rights

Summary: Given the current trends of reducing the functions and mandates of Ombudspersons for Children institutions across Europe, ENOC carried out in 2010 a survey on the role and scope of competences of ENOC member institutions. The aim of the survey is first to identify the current challenges and difficulties faced by individual member institutions and then to find common and efficient solutions on how Ombuds for Children institutions could be strengthened in order to ensure a better and effective protection of children's rights and to make sure children's views are taken seriously.Owner: ENOC pdf: http://www.crin.org/docs/ENOC Malta report final.pdf
