ISS Switzerland interferes in personal or family situations that require coordinated action between two or more countries. We provide support to children, adults and families across borders, in collaboration with the professional partners of our global network represented in 120 countries.

Child and adult protection authorities, courts, social services, associations and individuals concerned with transnational family, social or legal issues, request our services.

Our services – social and legal consultaions, mediation, counseling, advocacy and training – are transversal to the various ISS Switzerland topics. We monitor developments in these areas of expertise on a national and international level.

ISS Switzerland's topics are the following:

• International child protection
• International child abduction
• Parental rights and responsibilities
• Unaccompanied minors
• International Adoption
• Family tracing
• International adult protection
• Asylum and immigration law
