Depuis le début des années 2000, le législateur impose aux travailleurs sociaux de favoriser la participation des personnes aidées, accompagnées et accueillies aux décisions qui les concernent. Or, dans le secteur de la Protection de l’enfance, cet objectif doit être concilié avec la nécessité de protéger des enfants et des jeunes. En croisant les regards de chercheurs et de professionnels, cet ouvrage s’attache à saisir la complexité des situations et propose des pistes d’action.

This study, commissioned by the European Parliament's Policy Department for Citizens' Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the JURI Committee, will be presented during a Workshop dedicated to potential and challenges of private international law in the current migratory context. The child's best interests are a primary consideration under international and EU law. EU migration and private international law frameworks regulate child protection, but in an uncoordinated way: the Dublin III and Brussels IIa Regulations are neither aligned nor applied coherently. This should change. In particular, the rules and mechanisms of Brussels IIa should be used to enhance the protection of migrant children. These include rules on jurisdiction to take protective measures, on applicable law, and on recognition and enforcement of protective measures, and mechanisms for cross-border cooperation between authorities.

Cet ouvrage se penche sur la métamorphose des politiques de placement des mineur.es à Genève entre 1960 et 1980. À travers l’étude d’un cas spécifique, l’institution de La Pommière, foyer pour filles dites perturbées, c’est la dimension genrée des politiques de protection de l’enfance et de la jeunesse qui est ici interrogée. Une mise en perspective avec le centre de Chevrens, une institution pour garçons, met en lumière une discrimination sexuée : les filles de La Pommière ont été catégorisées comme « déviantes » de manière quasi irréversible – contrairement aux garçons auxquels était accordé l’espoir d’une évolution positive. Sans avenir professionnel parce qu’aucun moyen de formation ne leur a été proposé, elles ont été pour la plupart maintenues dans le circuit de l’assistance sociale.

Volume 1 "Policy Changes and Challenges" takes as its central theme the ongoing and challenging issues which child protection agencies have to address and the policy and practice initiatives that are developed to try and address these. The volume includes papers on: the relationship between the decline in the rate of ‘unnatural’ deaths and the growth of concern about child abuse in the USA between 1940 and 2005; mandatory reporting; the balance between providing urgent intervention and meeting chronic need; risk and the Public Law Outline in England; the nature and implications of ‘child centred’ policies; the impact of intimate partner and family violence; the intended and unintended consequences of high profile child abuse scandals; developing multi-disciplinary team work in a health setting; and the possibilities of technology-based innovations in prevention programmes.

"Protected Children, Regulated Mothers examines child protection in Stalinist Hungary as a part of twentieth-century (East Central, Eastern, and Southeastern) European history. Across the communist bloc, the increase of residential homes was preferred to the prewar system of foster care. The study challenges the transformation of state care into a tool of totalitarian power. Rather than political repression, educators mostly faced an arsenal of problems related to social and economic transformations following the end of World War II. They continued rather than cut with earlier models of reform and reformatory education. The author's original research based on hundreds of children's case files and interviews with institution leaders, teachers, and people formerly in state care demonstrates that child protection was not only to influence the behavior of children but also to regulate especially lone mothers' entrance to paid work and their sexuality. Children's homes both reinforced and changed existing patterns of the gendered division of work. A major finding of the book is that child protection had a centuries-long common history with the "solution to the Gypsy question" rooted in efforts towards the erasure of the perceived work-shyness of "Gypsies.""--
