The database will include data on minors in difficult life situations, socially dangerous situations in need of individual preventive work, as well as on their parents or other legal representatives. The list of information included in the GIS will include:

· Gender, date and place of birth, citizenship information, passport data (other identity document), birth certificate data, address of place of residence (place of stay, actual residence) and insurance number of individual personal account;

· Information on measures taken to protect and restore the rights and legitimate interests of minors, to protect them from all forms of discrimination, physical or mental violence, insult, abuse, sexual and other exploitation;

· Information on the causes and conditions of neglect and juvenile delinquency prevention system identified by bodies and institutions and measures to eliminate them;

· Information on the provision of assistance in the household structure of minors released from institutions of the penal system or returned from special educational institutions;

· Information on the decision to send minors aged 8 to 18 who need a special pedagogical approach to special educational institutions of an open type.

The law provides for the introduction of the institution of mentoring in this area and the formation of a register of mentors. Individuals and organizations included in the register will be able to carry out individual preventive work with children. The mentor will be appointed by the commission on juvenile affairs and the protection of their rights with the consent of the minor himself and his parents or other legal representatives. The register of mentors cannot include citizens who are not allowed to work in the field of education, upbringing, development of minors, organization of their recreation and recreation, medical care, social protection and social services, in the field of youth sports, culture and art with the participation of minors. In addition, persons recognized as foreign agents cannot be included in the register.^[1]
