Abstract

This article critically examines Ritualistic child sexual abuse (RCSA) as a predatory form of child maltreatment and the lack of relevant child welfare interventions in the DRC to address it.

In this retrospective audit, the authors reviewed children below sixteen years who were admitted under oral and maxillofacial surgery for incision and drainage of a dental/facial abscess, under general anaesthesia, between January 2015 and January 2017, to understand if they had experienced dental neglect.

This exploratory paper’s purpose is to determine the effect of demographic, risk, and protective factors on social-emotional development, as measured by the Ages and Stages Questionnaire Social Emotional (ASQ:SE), in children age 8 months to 5 years in out-of-home care in Ontario, Canada.

This presentation explores the developmental assessment of young children living in out-of-home care using the Ages and Stages Questionnaires® Third Edition. 

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."

The aim of this study was to examine associations between mindfulness and psychological factors (i.e., depression, cognitive function, positive emotion, and negative emotion) among adolescent orphans in children's care homes in India.

This study aimed to assess the specific influence of migrant mothers on early child development, especially on social–emotional problems.

On 29 August 2018, the Save the Children Child Protection Global Theme hosted a webinar entitled: Researching Violence Against Children: An Overview of Ethical Considerations.

First published in 1999, this work draws together a multi-national collection of papers, and aims to stimulate the development of policy and practice in this often neglected area.
