The lack of information and specific guidance for handling migrant children who are separated from their parents but travelling with other adults hampers efforts to properly protect such children from potential exploitation and abuse.

It identifies what needs to be done to address the shortcomings in existing approaches and points to promising practices that could be used by other Member States.
