Open.Heart Project | Austria | Ombudsoffice for Children and Youths Salzburg | 2017 | Regional level | other | The Open.Heart project was developed by the Kinder- und Jugendanwaltschaft Salzburg – the regional government’s body for child and youth advocacy – in 2015 as a response to the unmet needs of young refugees living in Salzburg. Despite being under the age of 18, unaccompanied asylum seeking children are unable to access the same level of support granted to Austrian born children.

As a result young people are structurally excluded from opportunities available to their Austrian peers, for example they are excluded from accessing foster care. | |
