Description
The Special Secretariat for the Protection of Unaccompanied Minors (SSPUAM), the Representation of UNHCR in Greece and Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences successfully organized on 7 March a conference titled “National Emergency Response Mechanism for the protection of unaccompanied minors: from needs assessment to response“. The National Emergency Response Mechanism for the Protection of Unaccompanied Minors (NERM), which started its operation in April 2021, has effectively contributed to the early identification and safe accommodation of 3,258 unaccompanied children who were previously in precarious living conditions or homeless. The conference presented the achievements, challenges, and key findings about the NERM, starting from the Panteion University research study on homeless unaccompanied children in Greece, which led to the implementation of the Mechanism, and moving on to the two-year period of its pilot implementation by SSPUAM with the support of UNHCR.
