This leaflet explains, in simple steps, the ENSURE project, which we became part in 2025, together with international partners we admire.
The project’s overall objective is to enhance access to justice for child victims with disabilities by improving coordination and cooperation among specialized roles. It targets criminal justice professionals, protection professionals, judicial authorities, and EU policymakers, ultimately benefiting disabled children in the justice system. Specific objectives include developing the roles of intermediaries, enhancing the skills of legal professionals, improving multidisciplinary cooperation, and raising awareness of the importance of specialized support for disabled child victims.
By implementing these activities, the ENSURE project aims to make legal proceedings more accessible, inclusive, and supportive for children with disabilities, fostering systemic change in child protection and justice systems across Europe.
The project is financed between March 2025 and February 2027 through the European Union`s CERV-2024-DAPHNE programme.
