DataCare Country Overview - Denmark

In the context of the DataCare project, key data on children in alternative care for each country in EU and the UK have been analysed to map how EU Member States and the UK currently collect data on the situation of children in alternative care.

The strength of the current Danish system is that it is based on data at individual level. However, the data do not provide insight into exactly where the children are in care, or only in broad terms.

Read the country overview.

Discover how data on children in alternative care are mapped out in other countries.
