Our report calls for closer cooperation between EU countries to help keep children safe from known sex offenders.
Online images of abuse, trafficking of under-18s and sex offenders crossing borders to work with children are just some of today's challenges which individual governments cannot address alone.
Working with other countries in the European Union (EU) and beyond is essential to find common solutions and take positive action to improve children's lives.
The NSPCC wants the EU to do everything it can to protect and end cruelty to children, in accordance with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. This means putting the interests of children at the heart of its activities, and listening to what children say.
Over 10 years ago the NSPCC helped found the European Children's Network (EURONET), which brings together children's organisations from all over Europe. Working together, we promote children's rights and policies which protect children, and help give children a voice in European policy making.
