Abstract

This report maps preventive structures and policies for children, young people and families in 12 European countries. By examining what works in each of the countries surveyed, it aims to provide a foundation for the development of prevention policies across Europe. The report draws on a concept of prevention that is framed in universalist and integrative terms. The concept is universalist in that it addresses all children and young people, even those not seen as being “at-risk.” It is integrative because prevention should be organized from a child’s point of view, not in terms of administrative responsibilities. As such, this concept targets the establishment of prevention chains that link different institutions over the life-course. The report includes summary factsheets of the preventive concepts, structures and practices mapped in 12 EU member states (Austria, Czechia, Denmark, England (UK), Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden). In addition, three in-depth case studies (Austria, France and the Netherlands) featuring data from interviews with experts and implementing actors are also presented.
