Securitas’ responsibilities
CASE
Cooperation to find missing children in Belgium
Since 2012, S
ecuritas in Belgium has been a partner
of Child Focus, a foundation working to find missing
children and protect abused children. The Belgian
organization was founded in 1996 on the initiative
of Jean-Denis Lejeune, one year after the disap-
pearance of his own daughter, and is a member of
Missing Children Europe, a federation of 30 members
in 26 countries in Europe.
Child Focus works actively to protect missing
children, abducted or runaway children, and sexually
abused and exploited children. The organization pro-
vides psychological and legal support to the victims,
both the children themselves and their parents. Child
Focus also informs the public of missing children and
this is where S
ecuritas plays an important role. Our
security officers receive information about missing
children, and watch for them during their working
hours to help find them. If a security officer comes
across someone who looks like one of the children,
he or she informs Securitas Care Center. The Care
Center, which is the contact point between Securitas
and Child Focus, in turn alerts Child Focus so that
they can take quick action.
Each year, Child Focus launches a new campaign
to create awareness about their work. Securitas
helps by distributing posters and other material.
