Life of these children\u2019s families is not easy, and this is why the service is worth to be fully supported by the local public authorities.<\/p>\n<p>Stela Grigora\u0219, Chief Executive of Partnerships for Every Child:<br \/>\n\u201dAuthorities should involve more actively\u201d<br \/>\nNow the country has both methodological support and legal basis for this service.
