On 29 June 2026, the European Union Agency for Asylum (EUAA) and the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) released updated practical tools for guardians of unaccompanied children needing international protection. The tools belong to a four‑guide series covering temporary protection, an introduction to international protection, the asylum procedure, and transnational procedures. Two guides have been revised to include instruments from the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum. The updated “Practical Tool for Guardians: The asylum procedure” helps guardians and trained stand‑in guardians support children during screening and the asylum process. The “Practical Tool for Guardians: Introduction to international protection” explains protection concepts, forms of protection, and children’s rights. The revisions aim to strengthen guardians’ knowledge and provide consistent, rights‑based support across EU Member States. A revised handbook on guardianship is expected in autumn 2026.
