Plan a study visit to a Barnahus
A study visit to a Barnahus is a rite of passage for a team who is studying if Barnahus will work in their context, or who is tasked with establishing one. More than that, it is an unmissable opportunity for aligning a steering group or multidisciplinary team to the same end goal.
Expert consultations
Connect with PROMISE experts to consult on a specific case, to get a second opinion or get specific advice in relation to a specific child protection intervention/case in your Barnahus.
Recording of child interviews
There is much more to recording interviews at a Barnahus than setting up a system and hitting record. To best perform its role, a Barnahus must comply with local/international rules and regulations of evidence recording, and be able to produce a recorded interview that holds up to scrutiny in court.
Professional networking and exchange
Our professional networks and exchanges are member-led initiatives based on thematic areas or professional specialization. They support Barnahus staff to connect with their peers from around Europe, and to gain access to a vibrant exchange of knowledge, experience and practice.
