Barnahus Network

The Barnahus Network is supporting Europe to adopt Barnahus as a standard practice for providing child victims and witnesses of violence rapid access to justice and care. We undertake this work to fulfil our vision: a Europe where all children enjoy their right to be protected from violence. Sometimes, Barnahus is thought to be a place where children stay, but that is seldom the case. Barnahus works rather as a child-friendly office, under one roof, where law enforcement, criminal justice, child protective services, and medical and mental health workers cooperate and assess together the situation of the child and decide upon the follow-up.
