Tot OK?, a platform for detecting cases of child violence

Magalí Garcia on 26 June 2025

Platform with an online chat and WhatsApp number designed to detect and prevent cases of child violence

Tot OK? is an online platform designed to prevent, identify, and respond to situations of violence affecting children and teenagers. It offers information and support both to those directly experiencing or who have experienced violence, as well as to people who are aware of such cases in their environment. This service expands on the existing Infància Respon helpline, managed by the Directorate General for the Prevention and Protection of Children and Adolescents (DGPPiA), with the goal of reaching a younger audience more effectively.

The platform is divided into five sections tailored to the user’s age and role: children, teens, young adults, childhood-related professionals, and the general public. Each section uses language and content suited to its audience to ensure clear and accessible communication. Additionally, the platform includes a resource hub with informative materials adapted to the needs of different users.

To make communication easier for children and young people, Tot OK? provides a live chat service and a WhatsApp number. Recognizing that it can be difficult to talk about these situations over the phone, these channels offer more comfortable and familiar ways for youth to reach out.

The professional team includes psychologists, social educators, social workers, and pedagogues. These specialists are responsible for identifying and addressing risk situations and referring each case to the most appropriate support services.

Genesis

The Infància Respon helpline, active since 1997, recorded a very low number of calls from children and teenagers in 2023, only 6.7% of the total. This is partly due to how difficult it can be for young people to report such situations over the phone. For this reason, in early 2025, an online chat and a WhatsApp number were developed, currently in a trial phase, to make it easier for children and teens to communicate in these cases.

PrevenSI, prevention of child sexual abuse

Magalí Garcia on 4 February 2025

Specialised service in Preventing Child Sexual Abuse

Currently, it is estimated that 5% of men have thoughts, desires, fantasies, and behaviors related to child sexual abuse. This figure is alarming considering the percentage of the population that has been sexually abused during their childhood, which ranges from 10% to 25%. Furthermore, 44% of this total have been victims of repeated sexual violence. It is important to consider that the number of people who have been abused as children is higher, as it is estimated that only 15% of cases are reported. The above data reflects the magnitude of the problem and the urgent need for action.

PrevenSI is a specialized resource that facilitates access to information and services aimed at preventing child sexual abuse (CSA). The initiative was born in 2019 from the collaboration of the Institute of Forensic Psychology, the INTRESS Institute, and the IReS Foundation. Currently, the Association for the Prevention of Child Sexual Violence is formed by INTRESS, the IReS Foundation The Pericas Communication Agency. The project promotes different actions aimed at children who have suffered sexual violence, people who experience sexual desire towards minors, social professionals and people who detect or suspect that there may be a case of child sexual abuse in their environment.

On its website, PrevenSI raises doubts and answers about child sexual abuse with the aim of providing verified information on this issue. In this sense, it provides guidelines for identifying cases of sexual abuse, details the public and private services available to those who have suffered abuse, and explains the rights that protect them. In order to provide an accessible service, they offer several contact channels. They can be contacted via email, online chat or telephone.

In addition, PrevenSI includes a section aimed at individuals who feel attracted to minors. This section collects, in the form of questions and answers, thoughts related to child sexual abuse that could lead to acts of sexual violence towards children, explaining why these thoughts can be harmful. At the same time, it presents several solutions detailing the personal and social benefits of seeking help from professionals. In this way, they aim to encourage people who have pedophilia or paederastic behaviors to ask for help and avoid any form of child sexual violence. PrevenSI assesses each individual’s situation and refers them to the service that best suits their circumstances.

There are two types of therapies aimed at pedophiles and pederasts: one pharmacological, intended to reduce sexual desire towards minors through medication, and the other psychological, focused on preventing new risky situations and learning to manage one’s own behavior. The evidence shows that cognitive-behavioral-based programs have a greater impact on redirecting these individuals’ behaviors and ensure more effective long-term results. Both treatments must be administered by specialized professionals and adapted to each person’s situation. For this reason, PrevenSI also offers information, support, and training to professionals from various disciplines who work to prevent cases of child sexual violence.

Jooay, an app that helps children with disabilities find leisure activities

Laura Hurtado on 22 May 2024

Free app that connects leisure activity offerings with families of children with disabilities

Leisure and sports are vital for the development, health, and well-being of children with disabilities, but families often struggle to find activity programs that meet their needs. Additionally, many recreational offerings are not accessible to this group.

Jooay is a free app that helps children with disabilities and their families find nearby, accessible, and suitable leisure opportunities that meet their needs and preferences. The platform also helps parents, professionals, and educators connect, exchange experiences, and learn from one another.

To reach as many families as possible, the team of researchers, developers, and collaborators participate in various research projects. The team of Dr. Keiko Shikako, co-creator of Jooay, has studied what makes communities inclusive and has published the Child Community Health Inclusive Index. They have also examined how the development and design of inclusive technologies can help young people with various disabilities improve their health outcomes.

In 2016, after noticing the lack of support and leisure activity offerings for families with children with disabilities, Dr. Shikako decided to create an app that would provide easy access to proposals specifically designed for these children. Jooay started in Quebec and expanded to five other provinces in Canada.

Two years later, the team launched a second version of the app with the support of the CHILD-BRIGHT network. From the early stages of Jooay, parents, youth, and families have been part of the core research team.

Level of implementation

Jooay provides information on nearly 4,000 activities in all provinces and territories of Canada. In 2019, Canadian political representatives cited Jooay at the United Nations Conference on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities as one of the country’s most relevant actions to advance towards inclusive societies.

AutisMIND, an application to stimulate the social cognition of children with ASD

Laura Hurtado on 27 March 2024

The tool enhances the ability to empathize with others in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

There are more and more experiences and studies endorsing that technology is a particularly useful resource to support therapeutic and learning processes in children with ASD. Whether through robotics or specialized computer programs, research is showing the benefits of this approach.

AutisMIND is a mobile application that supports families and professionals in working on the development of social thinking and theory of mind in children with ASD, that is, the ability of individuals to be aware of the feelings, desires, and beliefs of others when acting.

The AutisMIND application addresses ten different aspects of socio-cognitive development with six levels of difficulty and a total of over a thousand interactive and playful exercises. Some of the topics it covers include interpreting emotions in context, anticipating actions, physical sensations, and symbolism.

The platform presents learning in a simple and dynamic way. On one hand, it uses sharp images with simple outlines that avoid overstimulating the child. On the other hand, it includes visual reinforcements that enhance the interest, attention, and motivation of the user. The functions are adaptable to the needs of each person, and statistics allow evaluating progress and achieved milestones.

AUTISMIND is a collaborative project among professionals, family members, and individuals with autism, based on their experiences and needs. The idea, driven by clinical psychologist Alex Escolá, arose during his work with users with autism, as technology proved to be a very effective tool in the treatment of children with ASD. In 2017, a first application aimed at young children was created, which was very well received. As a result, work began on new content, aimed in this case at adolescents and adults.

Level of implementation

The first application was downloaded 35,000 times. Currently, the AutisMIND Videos platform is being developed, an interactive video simulator for people with ASD to learn to manage everyday difficult situations and thus improve their autonomy and well-being. In these videos, people appear in everyday contexts, such as a job interview, and the user can choose interactively how they want the different scenarios to be resolved. In this way, people with ASD can anticipate circumstances that may cause them discomfort.

BRUS, accompaniment to young people who live in families with situations of drug addiction

Laura Hurtado on 13 March 2024

Program that seeks to break the taboo of addictions in families

BRUS is an initiative aimed at young people up to 24 years old who live in families affected by alcohol and drug addiction. The primary objective is to break the taboo surrounding these issues through in-person meetings and an anonymous chat service. Additionally, the program encourages young individuals to focus on their own needs rather than taking responsibility for situations they cannot control.

The online chat provides access to individuals who may initially be hesitant about seeking face-to-face treatment or are unable to physically attend a center. This virtual format allows vulnerable individuals to express their experiences, regardless of their location. Furthermore, the online platform enables safer and more confident self-expression, allowing them to articulate their feelings more effectively.

Users can choose whether they want to maintain continuity with the same therapist across multiple sessions or start anew each time and switch therapists. BRUS also facilitates communication for young people who have completed the therapeutic process but wish to stay connected with the center.

Genesis

BRUS was born in 2016 under the auspices of the Center for Digital Pedagogy in Denmark. From the outset, it embraced a digital approach, incorporating an email mailbox and an anonymous online chat. However, there is also the option to receive in-person counseling. The goal of employing hybrid solutions to address issues is to more efficiently reach vulnerable young people.

Level of implementation

The pandemic and the resulting inability to find refuge in activities outside the home led many young people in vulnerable families to seek solutions through the Internet. In 2020, BRUS recorded 431 conversations on the platform, more than double the number from 2019.

Currently, the program is present in several localities in Denmark through an intermunicipal collaboration agreement

Barnahus, care service for child victims of sexual abuse

Toni Codina on 21 February 2024

A pioneering integrated unit in Catalonia and Spain, made up of a specialised multidisciplinary team, whose objective is to avoid the re-victimisation of children and adolescents who are victims of sexual abuse and to provide all the necessary care in a single space.

Barnahus (children’s house in icelandic) is a project to help children and young people –from 0 to 18 years of age– who have suffered sexual abuse and to prevent aggression against minors. It puts the victim of sexual abuse at the centre, working in a single space with all the care services they need and minimising the traumatic experience of reliving the aggression. This avoids victims having to go through courts, police stations, hospitals and children’s services. It is promoted by Save the Children and is supported by five Catalan government departments, mainly the Social Rights department, but in coordination with the Health, Education, Justice and Interior departments.

Barnahus has a welcoming and friendly appearance to provide security, comfort and confidence to children and their families. There are separate rooms to preserve privacy, a kitchen-dining room, offices and a medical examination room. The psychosocial team –consisting of psychologists and social workers with a coordinator– works full time, 24 hours a day, every day of the year, and also offers translation services.

Catalonia already has centers in Tarragona, Manresa, and Lleida. In 2024, Intress, a partner entity of the iSocial Foundation, has promoted the opening of a Barnahus facility in Terrassa and in La Seu d’Urgell. On February 27th, the Idea Foundation, also a member of iSocial, will inaugurate a center in Granollers.

Genesis

Barnahus began as a pilot project –a pioneer in Spain– in 2020 in the Tarragona Educational Complex, following the European model -the Barnahus emerged in 1998 in Reykjavik, Iceland- and with the aim of extending throughout the country. In addition, a comprehensive strategy has been developed to address sexual abuse in childhood and adolescence in Catalonia, including preventive policies and specific training.

Level of implementation

The Barnahus service, in operation since mid-2020 in Tarragona as a pilot test, has enabled the detection of 803 cases of sexual abuse of minors and adolescents in this period in Catalonia. Thus, it has been postulated as a successful model and for this reason the Department of Social Rights of the Government of Catalonia wants to implement and promote the service in other Catalan towns such as Barcelona, Girona, Tortosa and Vilanova i la Geltrú.

Concilia, a public service to support the reconciliation of work, family and personal life for people with limited resources

Toni Codina on 10 January 2023

Free municipal babysitting service for single-parent families with few resources, women victims of gender violence and families with no community network, so that they can combine the care and education of children with work, family and personal obligations.

This service is currently extended to 12 neighborhoods in the city of Barcelona, and operates 7 days a week outside school hours. It has teams of educators, who can work with a maximum of 8 children, and are in charge of attending families, as well as programming and dynamizing the activities that are carried out. This public service can be requested from 2 weeks in advance up to 12 hours in advance, with the exception of emergency cases in which it can be requested up to 30 minutes in advance.

The service works with 2 main objectives: on the one hand, it is a support to the work and personal balance of families with difficulties, which facilitates the training of mothers and fathers, their incorporation into the working world, their involvement in the neighborhood, and even being able to enjoy occasional moments of rest. On the other hand, it is also aimed at offering children quality leisure time, with activities and pedagogical dynamics adapted to different ages and needs.

Children between 1 and 12 years old can enjoy the service on an occasional or more regular basis, and basic, ludicosocial and educational attention is guaranteed through values such as participation, environmental and emotional education, interculturality and art.

The Concilia project was launched in 2020 within the framework of the Neighborhood Plan of the city of Barcelona. This plan includes a set of actions to address the feminization of poverty and gender inequalities, aggravated by the COVID-19 crisis.

Among the initiatives proposed, the socialization of care is promoted, with meeting spaces, mutual support and accompaniment for women, offering educational work and training to young people and adolescents to ensure greater gender equity, creating programs to professionalize care and offering accompaniment to women workers in the sector to guarantee them decent labor rights.

Level of implementation

During the first year of the program, in 2020, 611 children were served and 7,819 services were provided. 58% of the families are attended for reasons of work conciliation, 11% for training, 10% to have “a moment of rest” and 8% due to an unexpected situation.

As for the families enrolled, the referent person is the mother in the vast majority of cases (93%). Of these families, 52% were already linked to other public services; 58% are single-parent families; 57% are families without a social network; 38% are unemployed; and 33% have a precarious occupation.

La Mesita, a virtual desk for the reading development of children with disabilities

Toni Codina on 20 December 2022

Free application that, through play and exploration, facilitates the process of learning to read and write in children with disabilities through technologies based on inclusive education.

The way in which the exploration is proposed, autonomous and without order, is a way of learning that helps in the construction of learning to read, facilitates an enrichment of vocabulary and familiarization with elements of reading awareness.

The virtual desk is designed with different activity paths, which are chosen and adapted to the needs of each child. At first, an understanding of the initial level of the different dimensions to be worked on is made, in order to select the most appropriate games and design a personalized program that helps and encourages reading. The activities can be modified according to the child’s evolution.

It is a flexible virtual tool with four dimensions. First, the development of oral comprehension is done through the viewing of videos, reading texts, and activities such as sorting stories as they are narrated. Phonological awareness is worked on through the fragmentation and creation of words, with the support of drawings, the identification of sounds and phonics activities with the microphone. At the semantic level, words of the same categories are grouped and questions are asked about the reason for these differentiations. Finally, vocabulary acquisition is done through description games with adjectives to learn their meaning and their use in other contexts.

Virtea, virtual reality to reduce stress for people with ASD

Toni Codina on 5 October 2022

Virtual reality application that allows the recreation of different scenarios that are part of a specific activity to approach the situations in which people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) will find themselves.

Virtea is focused on preparing children with ASD for stressful situations through the recreation of scenarios, which are part of the training that children will have to face different events. Everyday situations such as visiting a doctor, getting a haircut or waiting for the bus can generate a lot of nerves and anxiety. For this reason, virtual reality makes the journey from the waiting room to the doctor’s office, or to the hairdresser’s chair: Virtea makes it possible to work under conditions that in the future will be natural in a completely controlled context.

The recreation has been supervised by specialists, working as realistically as possible, and every detail is recreated, including the sunlight from the window. The recreation tries to be as warm as possible through the lighting, both interior and exterior, to lower the stress levels of the user.

The benefits of this tool are threefold: anticipation, stress reduction and improved quality of life. Firstly, anticipation helps to improve the attitude towards new situations that are out of the usual routine. In these moments of fear or discomfort, Virtea helps to reduce stress and this improves the quality of life of people with ASD and their families. The previous work allows to control anxious situations.

Nowadays, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects a large number of people in the world, being a group that needs more attention from Society, Public Administrations and also from companies.

People with ASD are comfortable following routine patterns and tasks. When faced with situations that are not usual for them, they may experience episodes of stress, fear, dread, panic and even trauma. Some of these situations are everyday activities and necessary, such as going to the doctor, getting a haircut, waiting for the bus or going on a journey.

Therefore, Virtea allows you to prepare yourself for difficult situations in order to reduce stress and be able to cope with them more easily.

Level of implementation

Virtea currently has two possible scenarios, and is working on adding a third: waiting for the diver stop.

The app can be downloaded for Android and iOS from 2019.

Primero, a digital platform for the protection of children in migratory contexts

Toni Codina on 7 June 2022

Open source software platform that helps social services, humanitarian and development workers manage data related to child protection through tools that facilitate case management, incident tracking, migrant child tracing and family reunification.

The platform collects and manages data on children encountered in emergency migration contexts, and combines proven tools, global best practices and the latest open source technology to offer social service and humanitarian protection workers an easy-to-use and scalable solution to their data management challenges.

Primero enables its users to document events and violations to provide protection programs with up-to-date information on risk factors and patterns of violations. At the same time, child victims of violence can be linked to the services they need and prevention measures can be implemented to mitigate future risks. The platform’s powerful analytics and reporting tools ensure that the data is actionable.

Primero offers intuitive digital forms and clear workflows to help document case management processes, from identification and registration, to assessment, case planning, referrals and transfers, and case closure. With robust monitoring capabilities including email notifications for certain processes.

The platform uses sophisticated matching technology to match follow-up requests made by caregivers with the records of children registered as separated or unaccompanied. Matching criteria can be configured to meet the needs of the context. These functions are supported by a comprehensive case management module to ensure that children receive appropriate care.

Primero is a progressive web application (PWA) and leverages the latest technology to combine the best of web and mobile apps. The web app works across all browsers, regardless of operating system and on any device (mobile, tablet, laptop). It requires no previous user experience and can also be used offline, so that social workers can manage their work from anywhere, wherever they are. At the same time it offers the security and efficiency of digital case management in low connectivity configurations.

The Primero project began in 2013 as a result of many years of inter-agency collaboration. Its goal was to bring more consistent, cost-effective and user-friendly information management tools.

In 2020, immigrant returns from the United States and Mexico increased 225 percent compared to 2019. Restrictive measures in both countries also led to returns of children, many of whom were left without asylum, despite being victims of family, gender or sexual violence.

UNICEF Guatemala has been working with these children for years and, thanks to its collaboration with Guatemalan institutions, launched the Primero program to ensure the protection and reunification of Guatemalan children at risk.

Guatemala is a country with high levels of migration, both due to its geographic location, as well as poverty and violence rates. Since 2018, the “caravan” phenomenon has taken place, with thousands of people leaving the country with the goal of entering the United States. In 2019, more than 200,000 children were apprehended at the country’s border, and more than 19,000 were returned in Guatemala. Therefore, Primero was born out of the need to respond to the needs and emergency situations in which these children find themselves in a migratory context.

Level of implementation

Guatemala is the first country in Latin America in which the Primero program was implemented, and since it became operational in 2020, more than 13,000 cases have been followed up.

It has now been rolled out through UNICEF in addition to 40 countries around the world, and more than 250,000 cases have been registered internationally.
