A round table was organized by the regional branch of the Bulgarian Red Cross in Burgas on 21.11.2008.

It gathered representatives of NGOs working with children and a number of governmental agencies and local authorities, dealing with the issue.

The round table was aiming to present the findings of the PRA report on the children in risk in Burgas, to collect experiences of other organizations and to set a start of  a potential future alliance of organizations and insititutions dealing with children in risk.

One of the weaknesses of the children care in Bulgaria is the fact that the many actors working well in their fields fail to cooperate to the fuill extent possible, thus filling the gaps and assuring smoth transition of the child in risk from one specific type of care to another. The process of elaboration of the new municipal plan on the childcare gave a good opportunity to initiate discussion on potential alliance of all actors in support to both elaborating the local care systems and provision of services.
