Frontex course manual on the protection of children at the borders

Frontex has developed this manual to promote a shared understanding of child protection and build cross-border cooperation in this field among Member States’ border guard agencies and third countries. With it, we aim to enhance the awareness and improve the professional skills of border guards in the area of child protection. Border guards should understand the concept of child protection and be able to apply the relevant standards to their everyday work. This comprehensive and operational manual builds on best practices and real-life-based case studies. It results from a joint effort that has drawn on the knowledge and expertise of a multidisciplinary team of experts from EU Member States, EU agencies, third countries and international and non-governmental organisations.
