CHILD GUARANTEE LOCAL UNITS
The involvement of local entities is fundamental for ensuring the implementation of public policies and local actions, especially attentive to the particularities of each territory and the needs of the populations.
WHAT ARE THEY?
The Child Guarantee Local Units are representative structures whose main objective is the local implementation of the Child Guarantee Action Plan, which, through their partners, develop a work that focuses on the strategic planning of local social intervention, involving different social actors, of various natures and intervention areas, with the aim of contributing to the eradication of child poverty and the promotion of social development at the local level.
COMPOSITION
The Child Guarantee Local Units should integrate partners from the sectoral areas covered by Council Recommendation (EU) 2021/1004 of 14 June 2021, namely those responsible for essential services relating to early childhood care, education and school-based activities, health, healthy eating and adequate housing, and may always include persons/entities that are not part of the Social Action Local Councils (CLAS) but could be of added value in addressing locally identified problems. This group may have a variable composition, depending on the size of each territory.
