GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING THE SPECIAL PROTECTION OF THE CHILD TEMPORARILY OR PERMANENTLY DEPRIVED OF THE PROTECTION OF HIS PARENTS

Currently, in Romania, the legislation in force regulates placement, emergency placement and specialized supervision as special child protection measures. All these special protection measures that fall under the umbrella of the law have the role of providing increased attention to children in various difficult situations. The special protection measures are applied on the basis of the individualized protection plan, a legal instrument of particular importance, based on which the planning of services, benefits and measures for the special protection of the child is carried out, with a view to the rapid integration of the child who has been separated for various reasons not imputable by his family, in a family environment that allows him a physical, mental, spiritual and moral development. Recently, all central and local institutions are making a sustained effort to harmonize the legislation in our country with the legislation of the European Union.
