The meeting was also an opportunity to disseminate the latest EUAA and FRA practical tool for guardians to support unaccompanied children in transnational procedures.

There were representatives from 17 EU Member States, the UK, the EU's Asylum Agency, the International Organization for Migration, and the UN's Refugee Agency.
