She also explained the Greek National Emergency Response Mechanism, which prioritises care for vulnerable groups, including unaccompanied children and co-ordinates their access to reception, healthcare and accommodation services. Tools, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and guidelines have been developed in Greece to assist guardians, lawyers and accommodation staff in identifying, monitoring and supporting child victims, including handling forced criminality and absconding cases. There is also the key development of specific tools to enhance service provision to child victims, including Standard Operating Procedures on declaring missing children to the police authorities.
