professional recognition
The LOST2 project provides an updated Dictionary of Competences that identifies the essential skills and knowledge necessary for best practices in investigations and managing relationships with families of missing minors.
The project offers a preparatory documentation for qualification, including definitions of the social and legal contexts, analysis of best practices, and a Dictionary of Competences based on a competence model aligned with the European Qualification Framework.
Unaccompanied child refugees who disappear after arriving in Europe are a growing concern in several European countries. We aim to address this issue by conducting a survey of different social and legal contexts in these countries, including the role of EU institutions in managing this phenomenon.
The survey identifies factors contributing to the disappearance of unaccompanied child refugees and the challenges in locating them. Results will be used to update the Dictionary of Competences which identifies essential skills, knowledge, and behaviors needed for investigating and managing relationships with families of missing minors.
The Dictionary of Competences plays a vital role in the LOST2 project. It establishes a qualification for professionals and experts involved in researching missing people and children, recognized in several European countries. It consists of three sections, including a definition of social and legal contexts, an analysis of best practices in investigation techniques, and a Dictionary of Competences identifying specific competencies.
The methodology used for the Dictionary of Competences aligns with the European Qualification Framework (EQF) and responds to the European Standard Classification of Occupation (ESCO). The model ensures that the identified competencies are recognized and transferable across different countries and supports the mobility of professionals and experts.
LOST2 contributes to the development of best practices in investigation techniques and procedures, as well as measures provided by local and national institutions and NGO associations.
The Dictionary of Competences plays a critical role in establishing a qualification for professionals and experts involved in researching missing people and children. It ensures that they have the necessary skills, knowledge, and behaviors to effectively investigate and manage relationships with families of missing minors. This will result in better outcomes for the children and their families.
