Our website has been shortlisted for the People’s Choice award at the 2026 .eu Web Awards!
Barnahus brings criminal justice, child protection, physical health, and mental health services together in a safe, child-friendly setting. By coordinating their work around each child, professionals support that children access the justice and care they need without needing to repeat their story nor navigate complex systems. This way of working supports States to meet their international obligations to protect children from violence and abuse.
European and international cooperation has helped many countries to establish Barnahus and strengthen the quality of their services.
Barnahus.eu provides a shared home for the knowledge, resources, and practical experience that make this international exchange possible. From helping a country take its first steps towards opening a Barnahus to supporting an experienced team to improve its practice, our website makes knowledge available across borders. It shares what professionals are learning, explains the standards that underpin quality services, and offers resources for children and families.
Behind these resources is a community of 61 members from 32 countries and territories who are working towards the same goal: making justice, protection, and care systems work in children’s best interests.
Your vote can help us win support to bring these resources and the work of this community to a wider audience.
Vote for Barnahus.eu in the People’s Choice category by 31 October, and share this post with someone who believes in Barnahus.
