Abstract

This paper describes the design and development of the ERICA (Stopping Child Maltreatment through a Pan European Multiprofessional Training Programme: Early Child Protection Work with Families at Risk) training programme. ERICA project was funded by the Rights, Equality and Citizenship Funding programme of the European Commission (European Commission 2019-2021), and has an overarching aim to develop, pilot and evaluate a Europe wide training programme in prevention, assessment, support and referral in relation to child maltreatment. It is a pan-European partnership with collaborators from Finland, England, Scotland, France, Germany, Italy and Poland. ERICA project proposes an integrated strategy to deal with child maltreatment risk and child maltreatment that consists of a multidisciplinary training across services and professional profiles, plus the design and promotion of a community engagement strategy, to build protective factors around families at risk and families suffering from child maltreatment.
