On September 27th, 2018 the Child Welfare League held a concluding meeting in the frame of the EU-funded project “Supporting the Development of Child Protection Mechanism at the Local Government Level”. The workshop aimed to introduce to the workshop audience the experience gained by implementing the project, its results and perspectives.
