The SOS Kannerduerf Lëtzebuerg Foundation defends, protects, and promotes children's rights in Luxembourg. Inspired by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, it ensures that every child it supports can grow up in a safe, loving environment that respects their dignity. Through its various programs and facilities, the Foundation applies an individualized approach that fosters development, participation, and independence.
Bientraitance and Children’s Rights
At SOS Kannerduerf Lëtzebuerg, bientraitance goes beyond a caring approach: it is part of a comprehensive commitment to respecting fundamental rights. As a member of the Bientraitance network, we advocate for the rights of all those we support – whether children, young people, or their families. In practice, this means implementing children’s rights in concrete ways.
Safeguarding and Bientraitance
At SOS Kannerduerf Lëtzebuerg, protecting children and young people is not just a legal obligation—it is a core value that shapes everything we do. It is reflected in our practices, our decisions, and our professional approach. Every moment of daily life is designed to ensure safety, respect, and attentive listening for the children entrusted to us.
Children’s Rights and participation
Children’s rights are not just a legal framework – they profoundly transform the way we support young people. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child is more than a reference text: it inspires our daily practice and reminds us that every child is a full individual, with their own needs, emotions, and opinions.
Children’s Rights and Daily Reality
Listening, Respect and Ensuring that every child feels heard and respected is at the heart of our mission. To achieve this, clear structures are in place: accessible reporting channels, a transparent complaints management system, and an approach based on active listening. Every report – regardless of its urgency or importance – is taken seriously, handled confidentially, and carefully reviewed.
Children’s Rights at the Heart of Our Practice: Between Legal Framework and Everyday Reality
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child provides a fundamental foundation for educational and social practices. It reminds us that every child is a subject of rights, just like adults, and that their needs must be considered in all decisions that affect them.
