A simple and accessible format, the roadmap template facilitates: interagency agreement and internal alignment so that everyone works in a coordinated way towards the same goal; the exploration and planning of different options, scenarios and activities; and the communication of your vision and strategy to an external audience.

PROMISE Barnahus Network

The PROMISE Barnahus Network celebrated its launch on 25th November 2019 in Helsinki, Finland. The celebration featured a ceremonial signing of the statutes and an exhibition about Barnahus.

The Network is a formalisation of the European Barnahus Movement, which was launched in June 2017 in the presence of the EU Commissioner for Justice and Consumer Rights, and the UN Special Representative on Violence against Children. The launch of the movement confirmed Barnahus as a good practice, validated the Barnahus model as a widely accepted concept and consolidated the European network of Barnahus staff and interested government officials and practitioners.
