Letter of Support (CERV-2026-DAPHNE)

Dear Mrs Anneli Valner The Estonian Social Insurance Board is pleased to support the project proposal submitted by the Estonian Union for Child Welfare under the CERV DAPHNE programme.

The project aim is to strengthen integrated, child-centered child protection systems through cross- sectoral collaboration and coordinated responses to violence against children. The activity is also important for the Social Insurance Board, which is responsible for developing and supporting child protection field. We see that integrated and coordinated child protection system reduces fragmentation and ensures that children and families receive the necessary support in a timely manner, regardless of which sector first identifies the need. This directly contributes to children’s well-being and safety, as cases of violence are responded to faster, more consistently and on a common basis. Most importantly, the child’s voice and views are taken into account at every stage of child protection work.

If the project is funded, we are willing to support as an associated partner, where possible and appropriate. Any specific contribution would be subject to separate arrangements and our available resources. Our intended participation is non-financial and does not involve a commitment to provide co funding. Any specific activity or exchange of personal data would be subject to separate arrangements and applicable legal requirements.

The contact person at the Estonian Social Insurance Board is Kristina Laul, Head of the Child Protection Support Unit, Children’s Welfare Department.

Yours sincerely, (allkirjastatud digitaalselt)
