Plan Care for the Child

Professionals from various child-related sectors support the core principle to safeguard the children’s rights and maximize efforts to ensure children receive opportunities to reach their full potential. Recognizing children’s complete exclusion from policy-making, the Belgian Academy of Paediatrics (BAoP) -in collaboration with other professionals, paediatric patients and patient representatives- took the initiative to develop this ‘Care for the Child’-plan. It offers a comprehensive framework to realize the aforementioned principle, leaving no child behind. We start with the 10 recommendations for policy makers, endorsed by a large number of health professionals within child health care.

On March 14th 2024 we launched in Antwerp in collaboration with other professionals, paediatric patients and patient representatives the ‘Care for the Child’-plan. It offers a comprehensive framework to realize the aforementioned principle, leaving no child behind.

Together with the Plan 10 recommendations were published for policy makers, endorsed by a large number of health professionals within child health care.
