Since November 2021, the Swedish Institute has been co-funding a PROMISE project which is delivering training and exchange to Armenia, Estonia, Georgia, and Moldova.
During 2021, the Network played a key consultative role for a number of countries on their journeys to establishing or expanding their Barnahus, and engaged with international actors to spread a common understanding of the model and to unlock opportunities for collaboration and funding.
Members agreed on the need for exchange, research, and guidance on scaling up Barnahus nationally.

The PROMISE partnership extends its warmest congratulations to the recent and upcoming openings of new Barnahus and similar setups:
Barnahus Tartu, Estonia opened on 26 September. This is the second service in Estonia, which was a pilot country in PROMISE 1 and a partner in PROMISE 2.
Childhood Haus Leipzig, Germany opened on 27 September. This is the first service to launch in Germany, which was a pilot country in PROMISE 1 and a partner in PROMISE 2.
The Lighthouse team will work together to support children, young people and their families through their journey. We have specially trained medical professionals, specialist therapists, advocates, police officers and social workers on hand to help with children’s recoveries. And we make sure all the children we support receive all of this in one familiar and child-friendly place.
In 2015, thirteen countries joined the PROMISE vision to promote child-friendly, multi-disciplinary and interagency services supporting child victims and witnesses of violence. The efforts to consolidate support for Barnahus or comparable models in these countries has been brewing for some time – often years.
This spring the BBC produced a 3-minute clip about the Icelandic Barnahus and the momentum in the UK to implement the model. The BBC reports the Children’s Commissioner for England would like to pilot the model, and Home Office funded pilot schemes should start next year.
