The National Adoption System and Child Protection in Guatemala: Looking Back and Examining the Today
This article discusses the evolution of adoption policy and practices in Guatemala from the 1990s to 2021. The authors synthesized their own research and analyzed adoption scholarship and reports and organized that history into three distinct periods:
(1) conflict years (1966–1996) when mostly Guatemalan military families and associates adopted stolen children,
(2) post-conflict and millennium adoption years (1997-2007) when the commercialization of children and illicit adoptions surged, and
(3) reform years (2008 to date) when new adoption regulations and institutions were…
This study aimed to identify components essential to building a model of care for youth involved in sex trafficking in child welfare. The specific goals of this investigation were to:
- systematically review the literature for programs implemented with child-welfare involved youth at risk of or involved in sex trafficking, and
- examine convergent and divergent evidence through interviews with experts-by-experience (i.e., survivors and child welfare personnel).
Four Family for Every Child member organisations share their experiences and perspectives on supporting the mental health of vulnerable children, building on discussions from their last event:
- Jennifer Cueva - CPTCSA (Philippines) - talks us through CPTCSA's interventions for sexually abused children below the age of 18 years, which includes CPTCSA's approach to healing through counselling and building interpersonal relations.
- Angel Rojas Garzón & Leonardo Velazquez - JUCONI (Mexico) - share how JUCONI supports children with their emotional needs within their…
Child Safeguarding Services intervene in situations where a child is at risk of serious emotional or physical harm. The response will vary according to the level of risk, but in serious cases, a child may need to be removed from danger and cared for by foster parents either temporarily or permanently. The number of children being taken into care has increased markedly in recent years in the United Kingdom. Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) is implementing a new approach to the welfare of children (Family Solutions Plus; FSP) in which the focus is to support the whole family and ideally reduce…
The aim of the study is to present the historical changes in child protection in Hungary and the process of deinstitutionalisation, which is still shaping child protection work in this country. The research seeks to answer the question of how the process of institutionalisation and deinstitutionalisation was implemented in Hungary in the socialist era and after the introduction of Act XXXI of 1997 on the Protection of Children and on the Directorate for Guardianship (Act XXXI of 1997), which was a milestone in the Hungarian child protection for the 0-3-year olds.
The study employs a case…
Child helplines have a unique insight into the gap between policy and reality, making them a key actor in advocating for children’s rights. They support millions of children every year. They respond to issues ranging from serious children’s rights violations, to children who just want someone to chat to on the way home from school. What brings child helplines together is the provision of an easily accessible, confidential system that allows children themselves to tell a counsellor what is going on in their lives. Child helplines also have an insight into the direct experiences of…
În primăvara anului 2021, programul Changing the Way We Care (CTWWC) a lansat un sondaj pentru a studia comunitatea de credință din Moldova și implicarea acesteia în reforma sistemului de îngrijire a copiilor. Scopul acestui sondaj a fost de a înțelege mai bine angajamentul actual și potențial al organizațiilor și liderilor de credință în calitate de persoane de influență și furnizori de servicii, dar și de a identifica orice obstacole în calea implicării acestora în reforma respectivă.
Programul CTWWC (numit, de asemenea, și inițiativă) si-a propus să înțeleagă mai bine experiența…
In Spring 2021, Changing the Way We Care launched an enquiry into the faith-based community in Moldova and its involvement in the ongoing reform of care for vulnerable children. This was an effort to better understand the current and potential engagement of faith-based organizations and leaders as influencers and service providers, and to identify any obstacles to engaging them in care reform.
CTWWC sought to understand in more depth their experiences to date, what existing assets they might bring to the care reform efforts.
