Cover: EMN Flash #10-2020 Missing unaccompanied minors in the EU, Norway and the UK

The phenomenon of unaccompanied migrant children going missing has increasingly been in the focus of public attention in the EU. Several international organisations and European NGOs have raised concerns that the disappearance of unaccompanied minors is not always addressed in an effective manner.

European Migration Network (EMN), in collaboration with international organisations, EU agencies and NGOs mapped what policies and procedures are in place to register and follow up on cases of missing children. How is data on missing children collected in EU Members States, Norway and the UK?

The Inform offers a comprehensive picture of how the phenomenon is tackled currently in the EU (see "Further information", tab "Downloads"). The EMN Flash highlights few key findings (available in English and German).
