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 relationships that children in care have with social workers and how their experiences are recorded has been identified as a key area of development for social work practice. This paper reports on a small-scale, qualitative evaluation of an approach to working with children in care launched in Brighton and Hove called Me and My World. Core principles of the model are explained including continuity of relationship between social workers and children in care; a statutory review process which promotes participation of the child and young person and a recording system where social…
ABSTRACT
Objective: There is an urgent need to equip community-based careworkers with the skills to address the mental health needs of orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) as an essential response to shortages in human resources for mental health in Sub-Saharan Africa. We conducted a quasi-experimental feasibility trial in South Africa to adapt and evaluate an established year-long semi-structured, manualized video-feedback caregiver intervention (the Mediational Intervention for Sensitizing Caregivers; MISC) for community-based organizations (CBOs).

Objective
This study was designed to evaluate the content of US state-sponsored online mandated reporter training in order to identify gaps and need for improvement in mandated reporter training.
Methods
A deductive qualitative content analysis of the…

For the past decade, the Center for the Study of Social Policy (CSSP) has focused on addressing what happens to youth who are the most marginalized by society, specifically those who are involved in the child…
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…
This synthesis is part of a series of periodic digests of COVID-19 related resources (guidance, news, & academic articles). The purpose is to identify emerging child protection risks/barriers, responses, and resource gaps based on the information gathered. Each synthesis analyses a different topic related to child protection during COVID-19.
This evidence synthesis analyses emerging practices and preliminary guidance for engaging children in the response to CP challenges during the various stages of COVID-19 and other infectious disease outbreaks (e.g. Ebola). It explores both barriers…
Abstract
Background
Training for new and existing child protection system (CPS) caseworkers is critical to developing and maintaining a competent workforce that effectively works towards safety, permanency, and wellbeing outcomes for children in the system. The COVID-19 pandemic required a shift to virtual training to continue training CPS professionals safely.
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…
