BEYOND THE MARGINS: Policy Brief on Marginalized Children in Europe

The present policy brief is an outcome of the works of the Social Inclusion and Diversity Working Group of PAL Network and presents findings from a comparative desk analysis in six member countries of the network, namely Belgium, Bulgaria, Greece, Ireland, Spain and Türkiye, and a qualitative survey among 30 practitioners, NGOs representatives and public-sector representatives across nine European countries. Together, these sources provide a coherent, field informed overview of the challenges faced by marginalized children and highlight multi-level policy actions required to address these challenges.
