1 December 2016 marks the official start of Phase II of the Opening Doors for Europe’s Children, a pan-European campaign to support national efforts to develop child protection systems that strengthen families and ensure high-quality family and community-based alternative care for children, by leveraging EU funding and policy and building capacity in civil society.

In its second phase, the campaign brings on board new national and international partners to add further gravitas to its work on deinstitutionalisation in Europe.
