The object of this evaluation is the national childcare reforms undertaken in Bulgaria between 2009 and the end of 2022, with a focus on DI, children with disabilities (CWD) and children for whom it is often difficult to find a durable family-based placement (“hard to place children”). The evaluation does not include the detention of children in conflict with the law but does include children at high risk of coming into conflict with the law for so-called “delinquent” or anti-social behaviour. In addition, the evaluation does not provide an assessment of inclusive education, early detection and intervention in disability cases, broader social protection programming to alleviate poverty, but instead identifies any barriers or bottlenecks in the child protection system to children accessing these services.
