Through a qualitative survey, this study aimed at evaluating the effect of the implementation of the French Ministry of Health's PRADO program over the Maternal and child protection services (“PMI”) structure and home visitation intervention.

This short document provides a summary of initial learning from data gathered for an evaluation of the Why Not? initiative in Scotland. The Why Not? initiative within Care Visions services was started in 2014 to ‘improve the way young people are supported when ageing out of care, by offering a different experience of relationships beyond care.’

This report presents an evaluation of the family home model as part of the 'Our New Children' project in Norway, a collaborative project between SOS Children’s Villages, Asker Municipality and the Housing bank that seeks to "assess the establishment of family homes as the housing and care solution for single minor refugees."

Introduction

The article presents the results of an empirical pilot study carried out on a sample of 24 child protection social workers employed in four public agencies in Italy.

This article describes what could be learned from a project focused on monitoring the living group climate in a residential youth care service in Flanders, Belgium.

In this chapter from the The Twenty-third Italian Report on Migrations 2017, the authors provide a picture of the presences and characteristics of the unaccompanied minors present in the EU countries, and in particular in Italy, to then illustrate the main innovations introduced by law 47, approved on 7 April 2017.

This report aims to address some common and key themes emerging from a questionnaire and in-person meeting to discuss the role of the social service workforce in the inclusion of migrant children and young people.

For many social workers, participatory practice may seem an unachievable goal, particularly in the field of child protection. This paper discusses a significant programme of change in one London local authority, as part of which the authors undertook 110 observations of practice and provided more than eighty follow-up coaching sessions for workers. 

This research aims to contribute to a deeper visibility of the care phenomena, giving specific attention to the foster families themselves.
