On 26 and 27 May in Vidin took place training “The Italian tools for assessment of child victims. Experience exchange”, conducted by Vittoria Quondamatteo and Greta de Santis from A.p.s. Il Fiore del deserto. Our partners presented the system around the child victims of abuse in Italy and the existing mechanisms for guaranteeing the rights of the child. A special space was devoted to a promising practice, developed in cooperation between the Hospital Umberto I in Rome, local NGOs, the Court and the Prosecution, and the Police. Umberto I is the largest hospital in Europe and for a number of years is successfully applying the so-called “Pink-code”, which is a specialised admission in the hospital and continuous support for women and children, who are suspected to be victims of violence.

The other important accent of the training was the direct work with families, who commit abuse against their children.
