Professional Networking & Exchange

Our member-led networks and exchanges create opportunities to learn from and collaborate with peers around Europe. These sessions might include:

• Sharing Practical Tools & Case Studies: From job descriptions and referral pathways to emerging trends and case consultations.
• Mapping & Evaluating Good Practice: Co-develop guidance and resources for Barnahus staff.
• Project Collaboration: Offer input on thematic strands of Network projects and support customised interventions for members.
• Thematic Meetings & Events: Join specialised working groups (for example, our Child Participation Working Group) or attend “Ask the Audience” sessions to exchange experiences in a lively, solution-focused format.

Tailor-Made Training & Support

We work with you to co-design customised interventions that address your specific goals and challenges:

• Training (on-site or virtual): Choose from our standard courses or propose new topics to suit your team’s needs.
• Expert Consultation: Access top European and international Barnahus experts for working groups, workshops, lectures, or conferences.
• Context Analysis: Benefit from legal and social assessments to shape effective strategies, legislation, or policy.
• Roadmaps & Evaluations: Develop and implement action plans, conduct on-site evaluations, and receive guidance to enhance Barnahus practice.
• Study Visits: Let us help you organise study visits to experienced Barnahus facilities, so your team can learn first-hand from established services.

Planning a project? We encourage early contact if you plan to apply for external funding. We can assist with planning, budgeting, and identifying the best format—whether a project partnership or a subcontractor arrangement. We do ask that grant coordinators apply for Barnahus Network membership if they aren’t already members.

University Seminars, Q&As, Lectures & Modules

We are happy to contribute to academic programmes, training sessions, or workshops by:

• Providing Guest Lectures: Invite our experts to present on the Barnahus and child-friendly justice.
• Developing Course Modules: Collaborate with us to build relevant, in-depth modules on specialised topics.
• Live Q&A Sessions: Screen an introductory Barnahus webinar, then invite a Network representative to discuss the content and answer questions.

The feedback from one member, but a feeling shared by many.

“When we are having struggles, we always think about you and the other colleagues abroad – and being in a community like this, fighting for the same goals, having the same challenges gives us so much power again to keep up the work.”
