Following the 2006 European Commission Communication ‘Towards a Strategy on the Rights of the Child‘, the Commission asked the EU Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA), in July 2007, to develop indicators to measure how child rights are implemented, protected, respected and promoted across the EU. As the FRA is neither a standard setting nor a treaty monitoring body, these indicators are not intended to monitor compliance with international standards and conventions, but to guide the Agency’s data collection and research, allowing it to develop evidence-based opinions. This aims at supporting the Community’s institutions and Member States when they take measures or formulate actions. The indicators also provide a good example that EU Member States could themselves consider applying.
