The government of Malta has unveiled its final draft of the new Children’s Protection Act, according to this article from the Times of Malta.

This chapter will critically examine the difficulties faced by young people who are looked after by local authorities in accessing mental health services and argue, based on findings of recent Serious Case Reviews that there has never been a more dangerous time to be a looked-after child.

This paper outlines key findings from the first comprehensive study of permanence planning in Scotland.

Speaking at the launch of the care crisis review, a large-scale sector-led inquiry into the UK's care system, senior judge Sir Andrew McFarlane remarked that "it is easier to obtain a care order to take a child away from their family, than for the family to get support," according to this article from BBC News.

Recent budget cuts to early childhood and youth services will lead to an increased number of children "falling through the gaps" in care, says the children’s commissioner for England, according to this article from the Guardian.

This article from the BBC shares the findings of recent child protection inquiries, noting that the chances of a child being placed for adoption by the age of five "varies starkly by local authority."

This paper summarises the main concepts behind Childonomics and presents the key findings so far.

The aim of this chapter is to explore how caregiving arrangements among parents of the recent East European labour migrants in Sweden develop in a transnational setting.

Based on ongoing qualitative research conducted with migrant families in Switzerland, this paper builds on empirical data gathered through interviews with both migrants and their G0 parents, from EU (France, Italy, Germany, Romania and Portugal) and non-EU countries (Brazil and North-African).

The paper aims at contributing to the knowledge and understanding of growing up transnationally and ‘doing transnational family’ between China and Hungary. It has a special focus on mobile childhoods in transnational families and links specific childcare-related phenomena with the process of the integration of second generation migrants.
