The Task Force on Health Promotion for Children and Adolescents in & by Hospitals and Health Services, with the contribution of UNICEF Innocenti Research Centre, WHO, England’s Healthcare Commission, the Greek Ombudsman and the Task Force on Migrant Friendly and Culturally-Competent Hospitals has elaborated a "
Self-evaluation Model and Tool on the Respect of Children’s Rights in Hospital".
Theoretically, the model follows the general principles of the
Convention on the Rights of the Child. The specific objective of the model is to assess the gap between the full respect of children’s rights in hospital and the actual practice, as a basis to promote improvement and change in that setting through the development of standards, taking of actions and further assessment and feedback, monitoring gaps and produce change.
By making the model and tool available online, our purpose is to disseminate it to Paediatric Hospitals and Departments throughout Europe and beyond and to provide them with a practical model and tool for the self-assessment and improvement of the respect of children’s rights in hospitals.
Please follow the link to access the model and tool.
If you want to implement it in your hospital,

The Self-evaluation Model and Tool is now available in other languages.
