Dear IC Participants,
As Founder and President of Fundación ANAR I am delighted to welcome you
to Madrid, site of the Fifth International Consultation of Child Helpline
International. We are thrilled to be hosting this important event with CHI.
I am certain that delegates will find the content of the IC important, useful and
interesting. We think it is especially fascinating to see how a country and its
helpline deal with their children´s and young people’s issues within the
particular context of its society. I hope that during your field visit to our
headquarters you will have an opportunity to engage directly with our staff, all
of whom will also have a unique chance to learn from you.
One of the special features of this IC is the ANAR Young People´s Forum, an
idea modelled on the Jordan River Foundation´s Children´s Forum, which you
saw in action in Amman in 2008. We have shaped the JRF´s version to adapt
it to our reality and we believe the presentations at Wednesday´s plenary
sessions will be one of the highlights of the IC.
I would also like to encourage you all to use some of your free time to visit
Madrid, a fascinating, diverse and culturally rich city.
On behalf of all of us at Fundación ANAR, welcome to Madrid! We are all
looking forward to the IC with great anticipation.
Silvia Moroder
President

Dear CHI Members, Partners and Guests,
On behalf of Child Helpline International, welcome to the heart of Spain.
Welcome to Madrid!
This Fifth International Consultation for Child Helplines is a milestone in CHI’s
young history. For the fifth time in our seven years of existence, our valued
members and partners will come together to share and learn the varied
expertise of our network. I am excited that so many of you are attending this
important meeting. We expect some 190 members and partners from over 110
countries worldwide to participate in this event.
As CHI’s Executive Director, it is always a pleasure to meet each one of you
again. I look forward to sharing this extraordinary event with you, to learning
from your wealth of experience, to feeling the warmth and the passion that has
come to characterise the CHI family. My sincere wish is that you find this
International Consultation beneficial to you, and your child helpline but, more
importantly, to the children in your communities.
We thank Fundación ANAR, the city of Madrid and Telefonica for their
hospitality and generous support. We would also like to express our
acknowledgement to the office of HRH La Infanta Cristina for their support.
The CHI team and the team of Fundación ANAR are here to help you
throughout the duration of the Consultation and will be happy to answer any
questions you may have.
I wish you an engaging and thought-provoking Consultation and look forward to
seeing you in Madrid!
With warm regards,
Nenita La Rose
Executive Director

clock is the most famous part of the building, since every New Year´s Eve for
the last 100 years it has tolled at midnight and welcomed in the New Year with

Religion
Freedom of religion is guaranteed by the Spanish Constitution. The majority of
the population is Catholic, with Islam, Judaism, Protestantism, and Hinduism
also common, among other religions.
Cuisine
Spanish cuisine consists of a great variety of dishes which stem from
differences in geography, culture and climate. It is heavily influenced by
seafood available from the waters that surround the country, and reflects the
country's deep Mediterranean roots. Spain's extensive history with many
cultural influences has led to a unique cuisine. In particular, three main
divisions are easily identified: Mediterranean Spain characterised by paellas,
fish stews and fried fish; inner Spain, including Madrid, with its hot, thick soups,
and stews like cocido madrileño; and Atlantic Spain with its typical vegetable
and fish-based stews such as pote gallego and marmitako, splendid fresh fish
and shellfish, as well as the lightly cured lacón ham. Some dishes are popular
throughout the country, including cold soups like gazpacho and also many rice-
based dishes like paella and arroz negro. Churros are famous sweets, usually
eaten with hot chocolate in the afternoon or with coffee in the mornings.
Spanish food is traditionally conserved by salting or curing, like Spanish ham,
or immersed in olive oil, like Manchego cheese, or “escabechado”, a form of
pickling. Madrid is such a cosmopolitan city that you can find it all, however,
from Spanish regional cuisine to international specialty restaurants.
Travel Information for Spain:
Documents Needed for Travel to Spain
If you are a citizen of the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein:
you need a valid passport or ID card.
If you are a citizen of the following countries: Andorra, Argentina, Australia,
Brazil, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Croatia, El Salvador, the USA,
Guatemala, Honduras, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Monaco, Nicaragua,
New Zealand, Panama, Paraguay, Republic of Korea, San Marino, the Vatican,
Singapore, United Kingdom, Uruguay or Venezuela: you must present a valid
passport, which will allow you to remain in Spain for a maximum period of 90
days.
Citizens of countries not mentioned in the previous paragraphs require a visa in
order to enter Spain.
CHI Fifth International Consultation, Madrid, Spain 15
It is advisable to take out travel insurance for your trip. Given that conditions
may vary, we suggest that you contact the Spanish Embassy or Consulate to
verify these requirements before you start your trip.
Health Requirements and Health Care
You do not need any vaccinations against illness to travel to Spain. As in any
part of the world, it is advisable to have your anti-tetanus vaccination up to date
if you are going to be in contact with nature and the countryside, as well as any
other official vaccination programme.
Under exceptional circumstances, the Spanish authorities can ask travellers to
undergo a medical examination to ensure that they are not suffering from any
of the illnesses requiring quarantine listed in International Health Regulations.
In Spain, medications are obtained at pharmacies. They are all marked with a
green cross. Pharmacies follow a rolling late-hour schedule, which is published
in the newspapers, and is posted at all pharmacies. Pharmacies open from
9.30 to 13.30 and from 16.30 to 20.00. In all major cities you can find
pharmacies that open 24 hours. Hotel staff can point you in the right direction.
You should check with your health care provider in your country of residence
before you travel what their terms and conditions are for health care,
emergency or otherwise, while you are abroad. It is advisable to take any
relevant phone numbers and documents with you. Your health care provider
can tell you what you will need.
Drinking Water
Tap water in Spain’s major cities is safe to drink. There are stringent control
systems which guarantee water quality. In fact, Madrileños (locals of Madrid)
are quite proud of the natural water sources that feed their city. Still, many
travellers do choose to buy bottled water as they are unaccustomed to the
taste or constitution of Spanish water. Similarly, in some Mediterranean coastal
areas bottled water is recommended.
Climate
The climate in Spain ranges from mild oceanic in the North, to continental
Mediterranean in the centre and Mediterranean in the East and South. Madrid
in October is still fairly warm with an average daytime temperature of 20ºC
(68°F) and night time lows of around 10ºC (50ºF). M adrid is usually quite dry,
but rain is possible!
Attire
In Spain, people dress differently according to the season, the occasion and
the place. In the coastal areas, because of the mild climate, it is usually not
16 CHI Fifth International Consultation, Madrid, Spain
necessary to pack warm clothes, except in the North, where it can be cold and
rainy; while in the interior, you should dress according to the season. In the
interior of Spain, temperatures vary greatly from one season to the next, with
very cold winters, and really hot summers. Spanish people don't dress up too
much to go out, although of course, it depends on where you are going.
Telecommunications
Public phones: Public phone boxes work with coins or cards available from
estancos (licensed outlets for tobacco/stamps).
Mobile phones: Mobile coverage in Spain uses GSM technology, meaning that
it is incompatible with mobile phones from some countries, such as the USA or
Japan. In this case you need a tri-band mobile in order to call. You should get
in touch with your mobile company to make sure that you can use your mobile
in Spain (they will make sure you have the right handset and activate the
international roaming service on your account). Once you have taken these
steps at home, you will be able to use your mobile in Spain as if it were a
Spanish handset: i.e. you should dial 00 + the country code to make
international calls out.
To dial to Spain from overseas:
Dial +34 (the code for Spain) followed by the telephone number (9 digits).
To dial from Spain to overseas:
Dial 00, followed by the country code of the country you are calling to and the
telephone number.
To dial within Spain:
Dial the number with no prefix. This number should comprise 9 digits,
regardless of whether it is a landline or mobile.
Electrical Appliances
Electricity supply in Spain is AC 220 Volts, 50 Hertz. Sockets meet European
regulations and use the round pin system. You may need an adaptor for
different plugs. Make sure that the electrical appliances you are going to use
(computers, mobile phone chargers, shavers, etc.) work at this voltage.
Time Zone
The time zone on the Spanish mainland and the Balearic Islands is Greenwich
Mean Time (GMT) + 1 hour in winter and + 2 hours in summer. On the Canary
Islands, it is always 1 hour less than the time in the rest of Spain. Spain
changes its time between summer and winter for daylight saving. The last
weekend in October the clocks go back 1 hour (at 3am it is 2am) and the
last weekend in March they go forward 1 hour (at 2am it is 3am). Please take
note of this if you are flying back the last weekend of October or later!

Languages
Spanish is the official language in the entire national territory. However, other
languages coexist with Spanish in certain regions of Spain. These are: Catalan
in Catalonia, Galician in Galicia, Euskera/Basque in the Basque Country,
Valencian in the Valencia Region and a particular variety of Catalan spoken on
the Balearic Islands.
Here are a few useful words and phrases in Spanish to get you started:
ENGLISH SPANISH

Currency and Payments
The currency in Spain is the Euro (€), as in other European Union countries.
The Euro is divided into 100 cents. There are eight different coins: 1, 2, 5, 10,
20 and 50 cent, and 1 and 2 Euro. There are seven different bank notes, for the
following amounts: 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 Euro.
Currency can be exchanged at all bank offices, open to the public Monday
through Saturday, from 8.30 to 14.00. It is also available at currency exchange
shops in all major cities, as well as selected hotels and travel agencies.
Payment using recognised international credit cards is also commonly available
in Spanish shops. When you make a payment you should show your passport
or ID card. Traveller’s cheques, accompanied by a passport, are also accepted
in most hotels, restaurants and shops. Please note that your home bank may
charge you additional fees for using your credit card abroad.
Tipping is not mandatory, but is sometimes considered good practice. In every
single eating establishment in Spain, service is included with the price of the
meal or drink. However, tipping is a common practice at bars and restaurants,
hotels and taxis, depending on the total price for the service, and on the
generosity of the client. It is usually around five to ten percent of the total price.
System of Measurement
Spain uses the Metric (decimal) System. The system governs all units of
weight, measurement and distance (metre, kilogram, second, litre, ton, etc.).
Here are a few basic conversions:
1 kilometre (km) = 0.62 miles (mi)
1 metre (m) = 3.3 feet (ft.)
1 kilogram (kg.) = 2.2 pounds (lb.)
1 litre = 0.26 gallons
Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. To give you an idea: 20°C is
equal to 68°F. The conversion formula is °F = (9/5 °C)+ 32.
Shopping and Business Hours
The most common business hours are Monday through Saturday, from 9.30 to
13.30, and from 16.30 to 20.00. Big shopping centres and department stores
open from 10.00 to 21.00/22.00 uninterruptedly. These big stores open
sometimes on Sunday. In coastal cities, in high season, shops are usually open
passed 22.00. Pharmacies open from 9.30 to 13.30, and from 16.30 to 20.00.
In all major cities you can find pharmacies that open 24 hours. Pharmacies
CHI Fifth International Consultation, Madrid, Spain 19
follow a rolling late-hour schedule, which is published in the newspapers, and is
posted at all pharmacies. Please ask hotel staff for more information.
Meal Times
Meals in Spain are quite late. Breakfast is usually had from eight to ten in the
morning. Lunch, at restaurants, is served between 13.00 to 15.30, and dinner is
usually served from 20.30 to 23.00. Many establishments are open
continuously throughout the day, especially bars and cafeterias where you can
have Spanish tapas, appetisers, and combo meals. Pubs, bars, and nightclubs
in Spain usually stay open until three or four in the morning. In all major cities
you can find places that are open until dawn.
City of Madrid:
The capital of Spain is located in the heart of the peninsula and right in the
centre of the Castilian plain, 646 meters above sea level. A cosmopolitan city, a
business centre, headquarters of the Public Administration, Government,
Spanish Parliament and the home of the Spanish Royal Family, Madrid also
plays a major role in both the banking and industrial sectors. It is one of
Europe´s most important financial centres, and the largest in the country. Most
of its industry is located in the Southern fringe of the city, where important
textile, food and metal working factories are clustered. Madrid is characterised
by intense cultural and artistic activity and a very lively nightlife.
The population of the city is roughly 3.3 million (as of December 2009). The
entire population of the Madrid metropolitan area (urban area and suburbs) is
calculated to be 6.386.932. The city spans a total of 698 km² (234 sq miles).
Madrid´s geographic and topographical location gives the city a continental
Mediterranean climate, with cool winters and dry, hot summers. Its altitude of
646 meters above sea level means that even when daytime temperatures in
summer are very high, at night it cools down. In late October, one can expect
reasonably mild weather, with temperatures averaging 19º during the day and
10º at night, and possibly changeable conditions.
Madrid is bubbling with cultural activity. Chief among Madrid´s attractions are
its world class museums. There are also shows and entertainment offered in
cafés, theatres and cinemas, and other attractions such as Retiro park in the
middle of the city, amusement parks, the zoo-aquarium, cable car, planetarium,
rowboat and bicycle rental, puppet doll playhouse, Wax Museum, Juan Carlos I
Fairgrounds and many sporting possibilities. For more information on the main
attractions in Madrid and Spain, please check: http://www.justspain.org/

4 Fundación ANAR
Introducing ANAR
ANAR Team
CHI Fifth International Consultation, Madrid, Spain 21
FFFFundación ANAR (Ayuda para Niños y Adolescentes en Riesgo - Help for
Children and Adolescents at Risk) is a non-profit organisation. Its origins go
back to 1970, and since then it has pursued its mission, within the guidelines of
the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, to promote and
defend the rights of children, especially those in situations of risk and neglect,
through projects undertaken in Spain and Latin America.
The Foundation´s President and Founder, Silvia Moroder, opened ANAR´s first
residential care home in 1970, and has guided the Foundation and its
expansion for the past 40 years.
Today, Her Royal Highness, the Infanta Cristina de Borbón, is the Foundation´s
Honorary Patron. Our Board of Directors, led by our President, consists of 17
distinguished women and men whose work is indispensable to the success of
Fundación ANAR. In 2010, the Foundation carried out its work with 33 full-time
employees and 150 volunteers.
The Foundation´s activities include:
• Hogares ANAR, our residential care homes for at-risk children and
adolescents;
• Teléfono ANAR, comprising:
o ANAR Helpline for Children and Adolescents,
o ANAR Adult and Family Helpline,
o EMail ANAR counselling for children, adolescents and adults,
and,
o ANAR Hotline for Missing Children - 116000;
• Schools programme; and
• Fundación ANAR in Perú, Colombia and Mexico, with residential
care homes in all three countries, schools programmes in all three, and
Teléfono ANAR in Perú.
4.1 Introducing Fundación ANAR
22 CHI Fifth International Consultation, Madrid, Spain
ANAR Residential Care
Since its beginnings more than 40 years ago, the Foundation has run our
ANAR Homes, where children/adolescents lacking an adequate family
environment are cared for in a home-like environment. One of our main goals
in our residential care programme is to afford a healthy life model, by providing
a safe place for children, where each child’s individual needs are met. We have
a multidisciplinary approach in our Homes, with fulltime caregivers, social
workers, psychologists and others helping to overcome the serious problems
our children arrive with. Our work with the children’s families is fundamental to
our approach, since our goal is to have the children rejoin their families if
possible and once the problems that motivated their incorporation into our
home are overcome. When this is not possible the child remains with us until
he or she is of age and we are sure that they can become independent
successfully.
Teléfono ANAR
ANAR Helpline for Children and Adolescents
Since 1994, our primary endeavour has been the telephone helpline: a service
available to all children in Spain (which has a population of over 8 million).
Teléfono ANAR is the only nationally available, free phone, confidential
children´s helpline service in Spain. Specially trained psychologists are
available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to help children at risk with
counselling, referrals when needed and direct intervention in cases of extreme
danger, abandonment, physical and sexual abuse, among others. Our
counselling staff is supported by a staff of social workers and attorneys.
CHI Fifth International Consultation, Madrid, Spain 23
ANAR Adult and Family Helpline
The Foundation also has an ANAR Adult and Family Helpline, providing free
help to adults needing advice and help on issues related to children and
adolescents. Our psychologists, social workers and attorneys are available to
help adults: parents, teachers, professionals, neighbours and others as well as
family on matters related to their children, students, neighbours, grandchildren,
nieces and nephews, through Teléfono ANAR´s Adult and Family Helpline.
This free, confidential service is intended to give a voice to those children who
are too young to call – infants, toddlers and younger children who are at risk
and in danger – and who must rely on an adult to seek help for them. It is also
an important resource for adults who have questions or concerns about
children and adolescents, be they parents, teachers or family members.
Email ANAR
Aware of the growing use of new technologies by children and adolescents,
Fundación ANAR introduced EMail ANAR in 2007. It can be reached through
our web-site www.anar.org and is available to help children, young people,
parents and professionals. It is a free, secure and confidential space where
they can express their worries without restrictions. Email ANAR is an important
resource for those children and adults who feel more comfortable writing about
their problems than speaking about them. We have found that the email service
is a good complement to the helpline.
116000 – Teléfono ANAR´s Missing Children Hotline
On 15 September 2010, ANAR launched its 116000 Hotline for Missing
Children, a free, confidential, 24-hour service. The 116000 number is a
European harmonised single number which is currently operational in 12
European countries. It gives parents and others an easily remembered number
to call in cases of a missing child, especially in the first few hours after a child´s
disappearance, which research has shown are of vital importance.
ANAR in Schools
The primary aim of our schools programme is to disseminate the services
available through our Foundation, especially with the different components of
Teléfono ANAR: ANAR´s Children and Adolescents Helpline, ANAR Adult and
Family Helpline, EMail ANAR and the 116000 number for missing children. The
dissemination activities are aimed at children, teachers and parents. As well as
informing children, teachers and parents of the services provided by
Foundation ANAR, our staff also give specialised training and workshops to the
same audiences. Some of the training programmes given at schools include:
24 CHI Fifth International Consultation, Madrid, Spain
• Prevention of bullying
• Drugs and alcohol addiction prevention
• “Parents´ School”, for AMPA groups (Association of Mothers, Fathers
and Students)
• Family involvement in education
• Training sessions for teachers, social workers, student monitors and
others
• Training programme for adolescents at risk
• Help with at risk adolescents´ re-insertion to work and society
Young People´s Forum
In 2010, we launched our Young People´s Forum, which is modelled on the
Jordan River Foundations´ Children’s Forums, and the first edition of which you
will see in action during the IC in Madrid. More than 90 children from eight
schools in Madrid (public, private and combined public-private) will meet on 25-
26 October to discuss a number of topics associated with the work of child
helplines. The youth will present their conclusions, findings and projects at the
Wednesday morning plenary sessions.
ANAR in Latin America
Using the same approach as in Spain, Fundación ANAR has consolidated its
presence in Latin America. ANAR Colombia was created in 1991, and ANAR
Peru and ANAR Mexico in 1994. They all operate residential care homes for
children who have suffered mistreatment or sexual abuse, or who are orphaned
or abandoned. In 1998 the Teléfono ANAR Helpline in Peru was launched,
following the model and experience acquired in Spain. It is a nationally
available, free and confidential service for children, adolescents and adults who
need to call about a child.

Introducing CHI
Supervisory Board
CHI Team
28 CHI Fifth International Consultation, Madrid, Spain
CHI’s overall purpose is to strengthen existing child helpline members by
offering them a platform to communicate, network and share their expertise
with other child helplines and policy-makers. Child helplines not only provide
children with their fundamental right to being heard, as outlined in the United
Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), but they also play an
instrumental role in shaping, strengthening and filling in the gaps of existing
national child protection systems. To this end, CHI advocates globally for
children and their rights as set down in the UNCRC, be that with children’s
networks, governments, UN Bodies or the private sector. As a result of these
efforts, the child helpline movement has become an important player in the
child protection dialogue.
Vision
A world where technology allows children to be heard one by one and through
their voices shape the world and realise their rights.
Mission
To respond to children in need of care and protection and voice their concerns
to policy and decision-makers.
5.1 Introducing CHI
CCHHII’’ss SSoouull SSttaatteemmeenntt
Children are full citizens of the world. They need, deserve, and have an
inalienable right to respect, nurturance, and support aimed at keeping
them safe and helping them to participate fully in their lives according to
their individual capabilities. Adults have a special obligation to ensure that
children are safe and receive this respect, nurturance and support.
Child helplines provide children with unique opportunities to express their
thoughts, feelings, and needs and to seek help in their own terms, without
fear or inhibition. Trusted by children, child helplines help to keep children
safe and to receive respect, nurturance and support. They do this through
their own direct responses and by using the knowledge given to them by
children to advocate on their behalf.
CHI exists because child helplines around the world gain strength from
working together to express these shared ideals, values and beliefs.
~ CHI’s Articles of Association, Article 2.1, March 2009
CHI Fifth International Consultation, Madrid, Spain 29
Each of CHI's Supervisory Board members is a leader in the corporate or child
protection sectors. Of the eight board members, five are regional child helpline
representatives. Selected by child helplines from their region to represent them
in all matters, Regional Representatives provide a solid system of "checks and
balances" and are a critical aspect of CHI's governance structure. They enable
the Secretariat to better develop appropriate programmes, services and
products for member child helplines. Three of the Board members are
recognised experts in their field, with the Chair being social entrepreneur Jeroo
Billimoria. Four members from the Management Team of the CHI Secretariat
form the Management Board. They provide an essential link between the
strategy of the network and the work of the Secretariat.

The CHI Secretariat is based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and is headed
by Nenita La Rose. With a small and dedicated team of 17 part- and full-time
staff members and numerous invaluable volunteers, the Secretariat works to
support, promote and expand CHI’s member child helplines worldwide. The
CHI Secretariat is divided into three departments: Programmes, Advocacy and
Operations. Programmes is our largest department and its staff members work
directly with our member child helplines, embracing CHI’s bottom-up approach.
Each department is led by a department head who, along with our Executive
Director, form the management team. Together, everyone at the CHI
Secretariat works to help establish, promote and strengthen child helplines
everywhere, so that children’s voices may be heard and their rights to
protection, provision and participation can be ensured worldwide.

members of CHI in future International Consultations.
Young People’s Forum Plenary Session
The Young People’s Forum plenary session will be followed by a joint session,
together with the young people’s forum participants, on Child Participation.
Child helplines have incorporated principles of child participation to varying
degrees. Such an important topic, merits ongoing discussion and analysis. CHI
began collecting information on the range of child participation within the
network in 2005. The information was published in 2007’s A Guide to Child
Participation Practice in Child Helplines. This session will illustrate the range of
different approaches across the network.
Presenters:
Germán Guajardo Méndez, Director General, Teléfono ANAR-PERÚ (Peru)
In 2005 a youth who had benefited from help received via Teléfono ANAR in
Peru expressed a desire to get involved and help ANAR reach more youth like
him. The result has been a project to capacitate youth in schools to help others
realise their right to be treated with respect and to be free of violence and
abuse. Germán Méndez will tell us more about this initiative.
Kajol Menon, Executive Director, Childline India (India)
CHILDLINE India’s story began almost 20 years ago with a group of street
children on one of Mumbai’s busiest Railway Stations. Kajol Menon will look
back on how children have been involved in various stages of Childline India’s
creation and development, and what can be done to ensure their full
participation and ownership in the future.
Samia Bishara Rizeq, Child Safety Programme Director, Queen Rania Family & Child
Centre Manager, Jordan River Foundation
The participation of children in matters pertaining to their own welfare has over
the past few years not only been viewed as a fundamental right, but also as a
methodology for developing child centred services. It is with great conviction
that the Jordan River Foundation views child participation as an essential tool
in programme development, assessment and evaluation. Children offer their
input, thoughts and recommendations on matters that relate to their own
development, wellbeing and general benefit. Facilitating for meaningful and
active child participation should be automatically and inherently part of any
child centred entity’s mandate. In this session, Samia Bishara will link the
learning from the Youth Forum in Jordan 2008 to the Youth Forum in Spain
2010 and the value of child participation as a tool for all child helplines.

Field Visit to ANAR and Police HQ – Tuesday October 26th
Special field visits are scheduled for Tuesday 26 October in the afternoon.

because of security reasons only 80 participants, in two groups of 40 each,
may visit. You will be asked to sign up for the Guardia Civil visit upon
registration, as they must have names, affiliations and passport
numbers of those people visiting for security reasons. We must
provide the Guardia Civil with that information by Sunday 24 October
in the evening at the very latest.
• Those who wish to visit the Guardia Civil installations will travel in two
buses for a briefing from police on their collaboration with ANAR, their
activities and policies regarding child protection and internet security, as
well as other topics of interest to child helplines. After the Guardia Civil
briefing is over, the buses will travel to ANAR for a visit to the helpline.
• The other two buses will go directly to ANAR for a briefing on the
Foundation´s programmes and a visit to the helpline, and then will have the
rest of the afternoon free.
• Refreshments
Please note that there will be refreshments served at ANAR during your
visit there.
• Translation
Spanish-English translation will be provided during the visits. We will do our
best to provide translation into other CHI official languages as needed.

Buses will return to the hotel at the end of the visits. For those visiting the
Guardia Civil, this will be approximately 19.00. Those visiting ANAR will
have the afternoon off and are free to either take the buses back when their

Silvia Moroder, President, Fundación ANAR
Silvia Moroder has spent the greater part of her life dedicated to children´s
issues. Her vocation began in 1963, when she spent several years as director
of a day-care facility for 100 one-to-three-year-olds in a marginal area of
Madrid. She launched Fundación ANAR in 1970, when she opened the first of
many residential care facilities for at risk and abandoned children in Madrid. In
1994, Ms. Moroder embarked on a new project, opening Teléfono ANAR –
Help Line for Children and Adolescents, and at the same time launched a help
line for adults to call about issues related to children and young people. To
date, the help line has answered more than 1,800,000 calls from children and
adolescents from around the country. Under her guidance, the Foundation
reached out to Latin America, opening residential care facilities in Colombia in
1991, in Peru in 1994 and in Mexico in 1999. It was because of her tenacious
vision that Telefono ANAR Peru, the first children´s helpline in Latin America,
was opened in 1998. In recognition of that innovation and pursuit of excellence
in children´s welfare, in 2001 Ms. Moroder was decorated by President Javier

  • 4. 4 CHI Fifth International Consultation, Madrid, Spain Dear IC Participants, As Founder and President of Fundación ANAR I am delighted to welcome you to Madrid, site of the Fifth International Consultation of Child Helpline International. We are thrilled to be hosting this important event with CHI. I am certain that delegates will find the content of the IC important, useful and interesting. We think it is especially fascinating to see how a country and its helpline deal with their children´s and young people’s issues within the particular context of its society. I hope that during your field visit to our headquarters you will have an opportunity to engage directly with our staff, all of whom will also have a unique chance to learn from you. One of the special features of this IC is the ANAR Young People´s Forum, an idea modelled on the Jordan River Foundation´s Children´s Forum, which you saw in action in Amman in 2008. We have shaped the JRF´s version to adapt it to our reality and we believe the presentations at Wednesday´s plenary sessions will be one of the highlights of the IC. I would also like to encourage you all to use some of your free time to visit Madrid, a fascinating, diverse and culturally rich city. On behalf of all of us at Fundación ANAR, welcome to Madrid! We are all looking forward to the IC with great anticipation. Silvia Moroder President Welcome address – Fundación ANAR

My sincere wish is that you find this International Consultation beneficial to you, and your child helpline but, more importantly, to the children in your communities. We thank Fundación ANAR, the city of Madrid and Telefonica for their hospitality and generous support. We would also like to express our acknowledgement to the office of HRH La Infanta Cristina for their support. The CHI team and the team of Fundación ANAR are here to help you throughout the duration of the Consultation and will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

  • 14. 14 CHI Fifth International Consultation, Madrid, Spain Religion Freedom of religion is guaranteed by the Spanish Constitution. The majority of the population is Catholic, with Islam, Judaism, Protestantism, and Hinduism also common, among other religions. Cuisine Spanish cuisine consists of a great variety of dishes which stem from differences in geography, culture and climate. It is heavily influenced by seafood available from the waters that surround the country, and reflects the country's deep Mediterranean roots. Spain's extensive history with many cultural influences has led to a unique cuisine. In particular, three main divisions are easily identified: Mediterranean Spain characterised by paellas, fish stews and fried fish; inner Spain, including Madrid, with its hot, thick soups, and stews like cocido madrileño; and Atlantic Spain with its typical vegetable and fish-based stews such as pote gallego and marmitako, splendid fresh fish and shellfish, as well as the lightly cured lacón ham. Some dishes are popular throughout the country, including cold soups like gazpacho and also many rice- based dishes like paella and arroz negro. Churros are famous sweets, usually eaten with hot chocolate in the afternoon or with coffee in the mornings. Spanish food is traditionally conserved by salting or curing, like Spanish ham, or immersed in olive oil, like Manchego cheese, or “escabechado”, a form of pickling. Madrid is such a cosmopolitan city that you can find it all, however, from Spanish regional cuisine to international specialty restaurants. Travel Information for Spain: Documents Needed for Travel to Spain If you are a citizen of the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein: you need a valid passport or ID card. If you are a citizen of the following countries: Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Croatia, El Salvador, the USA, Guatemala, Honduras, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Monaco, Nicaragua, New Zealand, Panama, Paraguay, Republic of Korea, San Marino, the Vatican, Singapore, United Kingdom, Uruguay or Venezuela: you must present a valid passport, which will allow you to remain in Spain for a maximum period of 90 days. Citizens of countries not mentioned in the previous paragraphs require a visa in order to enter Spain.
  • 15. CHI Fifth International Consultation, Madrid, Spain 15 It is advisable to take out travel insurance for your trip. Given that conditions may vary, we suggest that you contact the Spanish Embassy or Consulate to verify these requirements before you start your trip. Health Requirements and Health Care You do not need any vaccinations against illness to travel to Spain. As in any part of the world, it is advisable to have your anti-tetanus vaccination up to date if you are going to be in contact with nature and the countryside, as well as any other official vaccination programme. Under exceptional circumstances, the Spanish authorities can ask travellers to undergo a medical examination to ensure that they are not suffering from any of the illnesses requiring quarantine listed in International Health Regulations. In Spain, medications are obtained at pharmacies. They are all marked with a green cross. Pharmacies follow a rolling late-hour schedule, which is published in the newspapers, and is posted at all pharmacies. Pharmacies open from 9.30 to 13.30 and from 16.30 to 20.00. In all major cities you can find pharmacies that open 24 hours. Hotel staff can point you in the right direction. You should check with your health care provider in your country of residence before you travel what their terms and conditions are for health care, emergency or otherwise, while you are abroad. It is advisable to take any relevant phone numbers and documents with you. Your health care provider can tell you what you will need. Drinking Water Tap water in Spain’s major cities is safe to drink. There are stringent control systems which guarantee water quality. In fact, Madrileños (locals of Madrid) are quite proud of the natural water sources that feed their city. Still, many travellers do choose to buy bottled water as they are unaccustomed to the taste or constitution of Spanish water. Similarly, in some Mediterranean coastal areas bottled water is recommended. Climate The climate in Spain ranges from mild oceanic in the North, to continental Mediterranean in the centre and Mediterranean in the East and South. Madrid in October is still fairly warm with an average daytime temperature of 20ºC (68°F) and night time lows of around 10ºC (50ºF). M adrid is usually quite dry, but rain is possible! Attire In Spain, people dress differently according to the season, the occasion and the place. In the coastal areas, because of the mild climate, it is usually not
  • 16. 16 CHI Fifth International Consultation, Madrid, Spain necessary to pack warm clothes, except in the North, where it can be cold and rainy; while in the interior, you should dress according to the season. In the interior of Spain, temperatures vary greatly from one season to the next, with very cold winters, and really hot summers. Spanish people don't dress up too much to go out, although of course, it depends on where you are going. Telecommunications Public phones: Public phone boxes work with coins or cards available from estancos (licensed outlets for tobacco/stamps). Mobile phones: Mobile coverage in Spain uses GSM technology, meaning that it is incompatible with mobile phones from some countries, such as the USA or Japan. In this case you need a tri-band mobile in order to call. You should get in touch with your mobile company to make sure that you can use your mobile in Spain (they will make sure you have the right handset and activate the international roaming service on your account). Once you have taken these steps at home, you will be able to use your mobile in Spain as if it were a Spanish handset: i.e. you should dial 00 + the country code to make international calls out. To dial to Spain from overseas: Dial +34 (the code for Spain) followed by the telephone number (9 digits). To dial from Spain to overseas: Dial 00, followed by the country code of the country you are calling to and the telephone number. To dial within Spain: Dial the number with no prefix. This number should comprise 9 digits, regardless of whether it is a landline or mobile. Electrical Appliances Electricity supply in Spain is AC 220 Volts, 50 Hertz. Sockets meet European regulations and use the round pin system. You may need an adaptor for different plugs. Make sure that the electrical appliances you are going to use (computers, mobile phone chargers, shavers, etc.) work at this voltage. Time Zone The time zone on the Spanish mainland and the Balearic Islands is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) + 1 hour in winter and + 2 hours in summer. On the Canary Islands, it is always 1 hour less than the time in the rest of Spain. Spain changes its time between summer and winter for daylight saving. The last weekend in October the clocks go back 1 hour (at 3am it is 2am) and the last weekend in March they go forward 1 hour (at 2am it is 3am). Please take note of this if you are flying back the last weekend of October or later!
  • 17. CHI Fifth International Consultation, Madrid, Spain 17 Languages Spanish is the official language in the entire national territory. However, other languages coexist with Spanish in certain regions of Spain. These are: Catalan in Catalonia, Galician in Galicia, Euskera/Basque in the Basque Country, Valencian in the Valencia Region and a particular variety of Catalan spoken on the Balearic Islands. Here are a few useful words and phrases in Spanish to get you started: ENGLISH SPANISH Yes Sí No No Please Por favor Thank you Gracias You’re welcome De nada Hello Hola Good morning Buenos días Good afternoon/evening Buenas tardes Goodbye Adiós See you later Hasta luego What is your name? ¿Como se llama usted? My name is….. Me llamo…. Excuse me Perdón/Perdone Forgive me/I’m sorry Lo siento/discúlpeme How are you? ¿Como está? I am fine, thank you Estoy bien gracias What time is it? ¿Qué hora es? How much is it? ¿Cuanto es? Where is? ¿Dónde está? I don’t understand No entiendo Do you speak English? ¿Habla usted inglés?
  • 18. 18 CHI Fifth International Consultation, Madrid, Spain Currency and Payments The currency in Spain is the Euro (€), as in other European Union countries. The Euro is divided into 100 cents. There are eight different coins: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cent, and 1 and 2 Euro. There are seven different bank notes, for the following amounts: 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 Euro. Currency can be exchanged at all bank offices, open to the public Monday through Saturday, from 8.30 to 14.00. It is also available at currency exchange shops in all major cities, as well as selected hotels and travel agencies. Payment using recognised international credit cards is also commonly available in Spanish shops. When you make a payment you should show your passport or ID card. Traveller’s cheques, accompanied by a passport, are also accepted in most hotels, restaurants and shops. Please note that your home bank may charge you additional fees for using your credit card abroad. Tipping is not mandatory, but is sometimes considered good practice. In every single eating establishment in Spain, service is included with the price of the meal or drink. However, tipping is a common practice at bars and restaurants, hotels and taxis, depending on the total price for the service, and on the generosity of the client. It is usually around five to ten percent of the total price. System of Measurement Spain uses the Metric (decimal) System. The system governs all units of weight, measurement and distance (metre, kilogram, second, litre, ton, etc.). Here are a few basic conversions: 1 kilometre (km) = 0.62 miles (mi) 1 metre (m) = 3.3 feet (ft.) 1 kilogram (kg.) = 2.2 pounds (lb.) 1 litre = 0.26 gallons Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. To give you an idea: 20°C is equal to 68°F. The conversion formula is °F = (9/5 °C)+ 32. Shopping and Business Hours The most common business hours are Monday through Saturday, from 9.30 to 13.30, and from 16.30 to 20.00. Big shopping centres and department stores open from 10.00 to 21.00/22.00 uninterruptedly. These big stores open sometimes on Sunday. In coastal cities, in high season, shops are usually open passed 22.00. Pharmacies open from 9.30 to 13.30, and from 16.30 to 20.00. In all major cities you can find pharmacies that open 24 hours. Pharmacies
  • 19. CHI Fifth International Consultation, Madrid, Spain 19 follow a rolling late-hour schedule, which is published in the newspapers, and is posted at all pharmacies. Please ask hotel staff for more information. Meal Times Meals in Spain are quite late. Breakfast is usually had from eight to ten in the morning. Lunch, at restaurants, is served between 13.00 to 15.30, and dinner is usually served from 20.30 to 23.00. Many establishments are open continuously throughout the day, especially bars and cafeterias where you can have Spanish tapas, appetisers, and combo meals. Pubs, bars, and nightclubs in Spain usually stay open until three or four in the morning. In all major cities you can find places that are open until dawn. City of Madrid: The capital of Spain is located in the heart of the peninsula and right in the centre of the Castilian plain, 646 meters above sea level. A cosmopolitan city, a business centre, headquarters of the Public Administration, Government, Spanish Parliament and the home of the Spanish Royal Family, Madrid also plays a major role in both the banking and industrial sectors. It is one of Europe´s most important financial centres, and the largest in the country. Most of its industry is located in the Southern fringe of the city, where important textile, food and metal working factories are clustered. Madrid is characterised by intense cultural and artistic activity and a very lively nightlife. The population of the city is roughly 3.3 million (as of December 2009). The entire population of the Madrid metropolitan area (urban area and suburbs) is calculated to be 6.386.932. The city spans a total of 698 km² (234 sq miles). Madrid´s geographic and topographical location gives the city a continental Mediterranean climate, with cool winters and dry, hot summers. Its altitude of 646 meters above sea level means that even when daytime temperatures in summer are very high, at night it cools down. In late October, one can expect reasonably mild weather, with temperatures averaging 19º during the day and 10º at night, and possibly changeable conditions. Madrid is bubbling with cultural activity. Chief among Madrid´s attractions are its world class museums. There are also shows and entertainment offered in cafés, theatres and cinemas, and other attractions such as Retiro park in the middle of the city, amusement parks, the zoo-aquarium, cable car, planetarium, rowboat and bicycle rental, puppet doll playhouse, Wax Museum, Juan Carlos I Fairgrounds and many sporting possibilities.

  • 21. CHI Fifth International Consultation, Madrid, Spain 21 FFFFundación ANAR (Ayuda para Niños y Adolescentes en Riesgo - Help for Children and Adolescents at Risk) is a non-profit organisation. Its origins go back to 1970, and since then it has pursued its mission, within the guidelines of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, to promote and defend the rights of children, especially those in situations of risk and neglect, through projects undertaken in Spain and Latin America. The Foundation´s President and Founder, Silvia Moroder, opened ANAR´s first residential care home in 1970, and has guided the Foundation and its expansion for the past 40 years. Today, Her Royal Highness, the Infanta Cristina de Borbón, is the Foundation´s Honorary Patron. Our Board of Directors, led by our President, consists of 17 distinguished women and men whose work is indispensable to the success of Fundación ANAR. In 2010, the Foundation carried out its work with 33 full-time employees and 150 volunteers. The Foundation´s activities include: • Hogares ANAR, our residential care homes for at-risk children and adolescents; • Teléfono ANAR, comprising: o ANAR Helpline for Children and Adolescents, o ANAR Adult and Family Helpline, o EMail ANAR counselling for children, adolescents and adults, and, o ANAR Hotline for Missing Children - 116000; • Schools programme; and • Fundación ANAR in Perú, Colombia and Mexico, with residential care homes in all three countries, schools programmes in all three, and Teléfono ANAR in Perú. 4.1 Introducing Fundación ANAR
  • 22. 22 CHI Fifth International Consultation, Madrid, Spain ANAR Residential Care Since its beginnings more than 40 years ago, the Foundation has run our ANAR Homes, where children/adolescents lacking an adequate family environment are cared for in a home-like environment. One of our main goals in our residential care programme is to afford a healthy life model, by providing a safe place for children, where each child’s individual needs are met. We have a multidisciplinary approach in our Homes, with fulltime caregivers, social workers, psychologists and others helping to overcome the serious problems our children arrive with. Our work with the children’s families is fundamental to our approach, since our goal is to have the children rejoin their families if possible and once the problems that motivated their incorporation into our home are overcome. When this is not possible the child remains with us until he or she is of age and we are sure that they can become independent successfully. Teléfono ANAR ANAR Helpline for Children and Adolescents Since 1994, our primary endeavour has been the telephone helpline: a service available to all children in Spain (which has a population of over 8 million). Teléfono ANAR is the only nationally available, free phone, confidential children´s helpline service in Spain. Specially trained psychologists are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to help children at risk with counselling, referrals when needed and direct intervention in cases of extreme danger, abandonment, physical and sexual abuse, among others. Our counselling staff is supported by a staff of social workers and attorneys.
  • 23. CHI Fifth International Consultation, Madrid, Spain 23 ANAR Adult and Family Helpline The Foundation also has an ANAR Adult and Family Helpline, providing free help to adults needing advice and help on issues related to children and adolescents. Our psychologists, social workers and attorneys are available to help adults: parents, teachers, professionals, neighbours and others as well as family on matters related to their children, students, neighbours, grandchildren, nieces and nephews, through Teléfono ANAR´s Adult and Family Helpline. This free, confidential service is intended to give a voice to those children who are too young to call – infants, toddlers and younger children who are at risk and in danger – and who must rely on an adult to seek help for them. It is also an important resource for adults who have questions or concerns about children and adolescents, be they parents, teachers or family members. Email ANAR Aware of the growing use of new technologies by children and adolescents, Fundación ANAR introduced EMail ANAR in 2007. It can be reached through our web-site www.anar.org and is available to help children, young people, parents and professionals. It is a free, secure and confidential space where they can express their worries without restrictions. Email ANAR is an important resource for those children and adults who feel more comfortable writing about their problems than speaking about them. We have found that the email service is a good complement to the helpline. 116000 – Teléfono ANAR´s Missing Children Hotline On 15 September 2010, ANAR launched its 116000 Hotline for Missing Children, a free, confidential, 24-hour service. The 116000 number is a European harmonised single number which is currently operational in 12 European countries. It gives parents and others an easily remembered number to call in cases of a missing child, especially in the first few hours after a child´s disappearance, which research has shown are of vital importance. ANAR in Schools The primary aim of our schools programme is to disseminate the services available through our Foundation, especially with the different components of Teléfono ANAR: ANAR´s Children and Adolescents Helpline, ANAR Adult and Family Helpline, EMail ANAR and the 116000 number for missing children. The dissemination activities are aimed at children, teachers and parents. As well as informing children, teachers and parents of the services provided by Foundation ANAR, our staff also give specialised training and workshops to the same audiences. Some of the training programmes given at schools include:
  • 24. 24 CHI Fifth International Consultation, Madrid, Spain • Prevention of bullying • Drugs and alcohol addiction prevention • “Parents´ School”, for AMPA groups (Association of Mothers, Fathers and Students) • Family involvement in education • Training sessions for teachers, social workers, student monitors and others • Training programme for adolescents at risk • Help with at risk adolescents´ re-insertion to work and society Young People´s Forum In 2010, we launched our Young People´s Forum, which is modelled on the Jordan River Foundations´ Children’s Forums, and the first edition of which you will see in action during the IC in Madrid. More than 90 children from eight schools in Madrid (public, private and combined public-private) will meet on 25- 26 October to discuss a number of topics associated with the work of child helplines. The youth will present their conclusions, findings and projects at the Wednesday morning plenary sessions. ANAR in Latin America Using the same approach as in Spain, Fundación ANAR has consolidated its presence in Latin America. ANAR Colombia was created in 1991, and ANAR Peru and ANAR Mexico in 1994. They all operate residential care homes for children who have suffered mistreatment or sexual abuse, or who are orphaned or abandoned. In 1998 the Teléfono ANAR Helpline in Peru was launched, following the model and experience acquired in Spain. It is a nationally available, free and confidential service for children, adolescents and adults who need to call about a child.

  • 27. CHI Fifth International Consultation, Madrid, Spain 27 5 Child Helpline International Introducing CHI Supervisory Board CHI Team
  • 28. 28 CHI Fifth International Consultation, Madrid, Spain CHI’s overall purpose is to strengthen existing child helpline members by offering them a platform to communicate, network and share their expertise with other child helplines and policy-makers. Child helplines not only provide children with their fundamental right to being heard, as outlined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), but they also play an instrumental role in shaping, strengthening and filling in the gaps of existing national child protection systems. To this end, CHI advocates globally for children and their rights as set down in the UNCRC, be that with children’s networks, governments, UN Bodies or the private sector. As a result of these efforts, the child helpline movement has become an important player in the child protection dialogue. Vision A world where technology allows children to be heard one by one and through their voices shape the world and realise their rights. Mission To respond to children in need of care and protection and voice their concerns to policy and decision-makers. 5.1 Introducing CHI CCHHII’’ss SSoouull SSttaatteemmeenntt Children are full citizens of the world. They need, deserve, and have an inalienable right to respect, nurturance, and support aimed at keeping them safe and helping them to participate fully in their lives according to their individual capabilities. Adults have a special obligation to ensure that children are safe and receive this respect, nurturance and support. Child helplines provide children with unique opportunities to express their thoughts, feelings, and needs and to seek help in their own terms, without fear or inhibition. Trusted by children, child helplines help to keep children safe and to receive respect, nurturance and support. They do this through their own direct responses and by using the knowledge given to them by children to advocate on their behalf. CHI exists because child helplines around the world gain strength from working together to express these shared ideals, values and beliefs. ~ CHI’s Articles of Association, Article 2.1, March 2009
  • 29. CHI Fifth International Consultation, Madrid, Spain 29 Each of CHI's Supervisory Board members is a leader in the corporate or child protection sectors. Of the eight board members, five are regional child helpline representatives. Selected by child helplines from their region to represent them in all matters, Regional Representatives provide a solid system of "checks and balances" and are a critical aspect of CHI's governance structure. They enable the Secretariat to better develop appropriate programmes, services and products for member child helplines. Three of the Board members are recognised experts in their field, with the Chair being social entrepreneur Jeroo Billimoria. Four members from the Management Team of the CHI Secretariat form the Management Board. They provide an essential link between the strategy of the network and the work of the Secretariat.

Each department is led by a department head who, along with our Executive Director, form the management team. Together, everyone at the CHI Secretariat works to help establish, promote and strengthen child helplines everywhere, so that children’s voices may be heard and their rights to protection, provision and participation can be ensured worldwide.

CHI Fifth International Consultation, Madrid, Spain 37 People´s Forum, fellow members of CHI will have the chance to listen and speak to young people from another country in a safe, creative environment. This is an opportunity that we believe should be grasped with both hands by all members of CHI in future International Consultations. Young People’s Forum Plenary Session The Young People’s Forum plenary session will be followed by a joint session, together with the young people’s forum participants, on Child Participation. Child helplines have incorporated principles of child participation to varying degrees. Such an important topic, merits ongoing discussion and analysis. CHI began collecting information on the range of child participation within the network in 2005. The information was published in 2007’s A Guide to Child Participation Practice in Child Helplines. This session will illustrate the range of different approaches across the network. Presenters: Germán Guajardo Méndez, Director General, Teléfono ANAR-PERÚ (Peru) In 2005 a youth who had benefited from help received via Teléfono ANAR in Peru expressed a desire to get involved and help ANAR reach more youth like him. The result has been a project to capacitate youth in schools to help others realise their right to be treated with respect and to be free of violence and abuse. Germán Méndez will tell us more about this initiative. Kajol Menon, Executive Director, Childline India (India) CHILDLINE India’s story began almost 20 years ago with a group of street children on one of Mumbai’s busiest Railway Stations. Kajol Menon will look back on how children have been involved in various stages of Childline India’s creation and development, and what can be done to ensure their full participation and ownership in the future. Samia Bishara Rizeq, Child Safety Programme Director, Queen Rania Family & Child Centre Manager, Jordan River Foundation The participation of children in matters pertaining to their own welfare has over the past few years not only been viewed as a fundamental right, but also as a methodology for developing child centred services. It is with great conviction that the Jordan River Foundation views child participation as an essential tool in programme development, assessment and evaluation. Children offer their input, thoughts and recommendations on matters that relate to their own development, wellbeing and general benefit. Facilitating for meaningful and active child participation should be automatically and inherently part of any child centred entity’s mandate. In this session, Samia Bishara will link the learning from the Youth Forum in Jordan 2008 to the Youth Forum in Spain 2010 and the value of child participation as a tool for all child helplines.
