Cercetarea a implicat efectuarea unei evaluări a formărilor, competențelor, punctelor forte și lacunelor forței de muncă din serviciile sociale. Deși sistemul general de formare inițială și învățare continuă este destul de bine reglementat de lege, cu obiective, principii și componente specifice, implementarea eficientă a programelor de formare de către stat rămâne deficitară și se bazează în mod semnificativ pe ONG-uri. În plus, conținutul actual al formărilor necesită formalizare și aprobare oficială.

Abstract
The enactment of new legislations and policies and establishment of proper implementation agencies are considered the fundamental elements of modernisation. Likewise, in India, the child welfare sector is witnessing a paradigm shift after the implementation of juvenile justice acts and the establishment of Integrated Child Protection Scheme (ICPS). The policy documents suggest that institutionalisation of a child must be the last resort; hence, the ideal situation is deinstitutionalising children from institutions to other care facilities. Childcare staff have to intervene…

Objective
The purpose of our project was to determine if there were differences in learning outcomes between learners who completed training in the usual delivery methods (Pre-COVID) and the fully virtual delivery methods (…
Abstract
Advances in our understanding of the influence of community factors on children’s safety support promoting community-focused public health approaches to child protection. Only limited attention, however, has been paid to what this means for social work in its mission to prevent child maltreatment. In particular, the literature lacks guidance on implementing opportunities for social work students to focus on primary prevention of child maltreatment. An exception is an effort in Tel Aviv, Israel, to implement Strong Communities for Children, a community-based child maltreatment…
