Consultation are an instruments that the Commission uses to gather information and ideas, practices etc from citizens and organisations in the 27 Member States. Inputs from the consultation will serve to draft the Communication that will be the base for the strategy for the right of the child from 2011 to 2014.

L’Albero della Vita replied to the public consultation and stressed the importance to have more data and planning policies on the issue of children left behind and in particular to start considering children left behind as a group particularly vulnerable.
