In order to protect children and youths who arrive in Portugal without an adult minding them, the Government has set up a special multidisciplinary group with teams from the Ministry of Labour, Solidarity and Social Security (Ministério do Trabalho, Solidariedade e Segurança Social), the Ministry of Justice (Ministério da Justiça), the Borders and Immigration Service (Serviço de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras), and the High Commission for Migration (Alto Comissariado para as Migrações).
Content of measure
The Government created a platform to register cases of unaccompanied minors, which also allows the search for foster care available, as well as identifying voluntary transport initiatives on national territory.
The platform is essential in the identification of unaccompanied minors, whether already in Portugal or in transit, in order to ensure their safety and full protection, as well as access to all the support structures in Portugal.
This platform is complemented by an email and by a telephone hotline.
The Institute for Social Security (Instituto da segurança Social) create a specific group to deal with the processes of unaccompanied children arriving in Portugal from Ukraine. This working group works closely with the Service for Foreigners and Borders (Serviço de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras), the Public Prosecutor's Office (Procuradoria-geral da República) and the courts to better guarantee the protection of these children.
