Background

The process of transitioning of placement is marked by difficult transitions and is complicated by a history of placement experiences. Studies show that most young people who age out of placement care are enrolled in school just before they leave, but this proportion drops drastically soon after they leave care. This transition has the potential to increase the risk of being involved in the justice system. Conversely, staying in school after placement has the potential to prevent contact with the justice system.

Objective

To examine whether educational transitions during the process of leaving placement care in early adulthood influence the risk of justice system involvement. More precisely, the study focuses on whether leaving school increases this risk among youth aging out of care. It also uses moderation analyses to assess whether this association varies based on placement experiences, such as placement instability and group placement.

Participants and settings

We used a subsample of the EDJeP study from Québec, Canada, consisting of youths who participated in the third wave and who were in school before leaving placement (n = 413). Administrative data from youth protection services and data from the three waves of questionnaires were analyzed.

Methods

We used maximum likelihood logistic regression models to predict justice system involvement during early adulthood as a function of leaving school. Interaction terms were used to determine whether moderation effects were present.

Results

The results show that young people who leave school when they age out of placement are at greater risk of being involved in the justice system during early adulthood (OR = 4.55, p < 0.001). Conversely, young people who stayed in school after aging out of care were less likely to be involved in the justice system during early adulthood. However, there were no significant moderation effects (p > 0.05) with the placement experiences.

背景安置的过渡过程是一个艰难的过渡过程，并因安置经历的历史而变得复杂。研究表明，大多数因年龄增长而离开安置护理中心的年轻人在离开之前都会入学，但这一比例在离开护理中心后不久就急剧下降。这种转变有可能增加被卷入司法系统的风险。相反，安置后留在学校有可能阻止与司法系统接触。目的探讨成年早期离开安置护理过程中的教育转变是否影响司法系统介入的风险。更准确地说，这项研究关注的是离开学校是否会增加失去照顾的年轻人的这种风险。它还使用适度分析来评估这种关联是否根据安置经历而变化，例如安置不稳定性和群体安置。参与者和环境我们使用了来自加拿大quamesbec的EDJeP研究的子样本，包括参加第三次浪潮和离开安置前在学校的年轻人（n = 413）。分析来自青少年保护服务的行政数据和来自三波问卷调查的数据。方法我们使用最大似然逻辑回归模型来预测成年早期司法系统参与作为离开学校的函数。相互作用项用于确定是否存在适度效应。结果研究结果表明，年龄过大而辍学的年轻人在成年早期被卷入司法系统的风险更大（OR = 4.55, p < 0.001）。相反，那些在失去照顾后继续上学的年轻人在成年早期参与司法系统的可能性较小。然而，安置经历没有显著的调节作用（p > 0.05）。

There is an urgent need to demonstrate the immediate and long-term outcomes for Child and Youth Advocacy Centres (CYACs) and the vulnerable children and youth they serve through ongoing evaluation and research. Collecting and using high-quality data helps CYACs improve services, strengthen program design, and make informed decisions about child abuse prevention, investigation, and response. When consistent data is collected across CYACs it reveals child abuse trends, highlights areas for program improvement, and identifies gaps in understanding of child abuse. CYACs can leverage outcome data to advocate for environmental change and influence policies to improve outcomes for children and youth impacted by child abuse. The Alberta Network of Child and Youth Advocacy Centres worked together to establish a minimum dataset for CYACs. This collaborative effort was born out of a shared vision that by strengthening and establishing consistent approaches to data collection, they could collectively impact the model to continue providing responsive services to the children and youth they serve. In this discussion article we present the co-developed theory of change, minimum dataset and core outcomes to support CYACs in robust impact measurement.

迫切需要通过持续的评估和研究，证明儿童和青年宣传中心及其所服务的弱势儿童和青年的近期和长期成果。收集和使用高质量数据有助于儿童基金会改善服务，加强项目设计，并在预防、调查和应对儿童虐待方面做出明智的决定。当在CYACs中收集一致的数据时，它揭示了虐待儿童的趋势，突出了项目改进的领域，并确定了对虐待儿童的理解的差距。cyac可以利用结果数据倡导环境变化并影响政策，以改善受虐待儿童影响的儿童和青年的结果。艾伯塔省儿童和青年宣传中心网络共同努力建立了cyac的最低数据集。这一合作努力源于一个共同的愿景，即通过加强和建立一致的数据收集方法，它们可以共同影响该模式，继续向所服务的儿童和青年提供响应性服务。在这篇讨论文章中，我们提出了共同开发的变化理论、最小数据集和核心结果，以支持CYACs进行稳健的影响测量。

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child gives children a fundamental right to participate in all decisions that affect them. ‘Participation’ is now a common ‘good practice’ principle when supporting, and working with, children and young people. However, practitioners are often unsure of how to facilitate the safe and meaningful collective participation of children and young people with lived experience of sexual abuse and exploitation (bringing them together in groups to inform and influence decision-making or actions that affect them as a specific group). Research indicates that there are myriad potential benefits when young people engage in safe and meaningful participatory processes. This Practice Perspective shares details of a participatory project we initiated with young people who had lived experience of child sexual abuse and exploitation and who had previously engaged in participatory initiatives. It shares their perspectives on the potential benefits of participatory practice for young people and the wider community. 19 young people, aged 17–25, in Kenya and Uganda took part in a series of workshops culminating in the development of a podcast to share their views on the topic.

《联合国儿童权利公约》赋予儿童参与影响他们的所有决定的基本权利。“参与”现在是支持和帮助儿童和青年时的一个普遍的“良好做法”原则。然而，从业人员往往不确定如何促进有过性虐待和性剥削生活经历的儿童和青年安全而有意义的集体参与（将他们以小组形式聚集在一起，为影响他们的特定群体的决策或行动提供信息和影响）。研究表明，当年轻人参与安全和有意义的参与过程时，会有无数潜在的好处。本实践展望分享了我们发起的一个参与性项目的细节，该项目的参与者是有过儿童性虐待和性剥削经历的年轻人，他们以前曾参与过参与性倡议。它分享了他们对参与式实践对年轻人和更广泛社区的潜在好处的看法。来自肯尼亚和乌干达的19名年龄在17-25岁之间的年轻人参加了一系列研讨会，最后制作了一个播客，分享他们对这个话题的看法。

There is increasing effort in the humanitarian sector to improve accountability to affected populations and promote meaningful participation of children in humanitarian action. However, effective systems for accountability to children, both in the protection and non-protection sectors, remain minimal. This review aims to identify definitions, gaps, barriers and enablers of accountability to children and present examples of existing systems and best practices to support the development of child-centred accountability approaches in the humanitarian sector. A rapid appraisal approach was adopted. Searches were conducted across a variety of practice focused databases using search terms such as “participation”, “accountability”, “children”, and “humanitarian” looking for publications from 2004 until 2024. The review identified a total of 64 publications, 25 of which met the inclusion criteria. This review demonstrates that humanitarian actors have produced a wealth of guidance and toolkits to inform the creation of systems of accountability to children. Conceptually the sector shares clear and consistent definitions of accountability to children; however, practical resources often remain too general and theoretical to guide real life implementation. Existing resources rarely provide specific examples or instructions on how to operationalise accountability across sectors and include only limited considerations on the factors required to ensure adequate inclusion of children from marginalized groups. Systematically documenting case studies, success stories, and the experiences of both humanitarian actors and affected populations of how accountability to children is realised in the context of different types of humanitarian crises is warranted.

人道主义部门正在加大努力，改善对受影响人口的责任，促进儿童有意义地参与人道主义行动。然而，在保护和非保护部门，对儿童负责的有效制度仍然很少。本次审查的目的是确定对儿童问责制的定义、差距、障碍和推动因素，并提出现有系统和最佳做法的例子，以支持在人道主义部门制定以儿童为中心的问责制方法。采取了快速评价办法。通过使用“参与”、“问责制”、“儿童”和“人道主义”等搜索词在各种以实践为重点的数据库中进行搜索，寻找2004年至2024年的出版物。审查共确定64份出版物，其中25份符合纳入标准。这项审查表明，人道主义行为体已经编制了大量的指导和工具包，为建立对儿童负责的制度提供了信息。在概念上，该部门分享对儿童责任的明确和一致的定义；然而，实用资源往往过于笼统和理论化，无法指导现实生活中的实施。现有资源很少提供关于如何跨部门实施问责制的具体例子或指示，并且仅对确保充分纳入边缘化群体儿童所需的因素进行了有限的考虑。有必要系统地记录案例研究、成功案例以及人道主义行为体和受影响人群在不同类型人道主义危机背景下如何实现对儿童问责的经验。

Mapping the roles of social workers' emotions in child protection in Western Countries: A systematic scoping review 描绘西方国家社会工作者情绪在儿童保护中的作用：一个系统的范围审查

Child Protection and Practice

Background

Emotions play a crucial role in social work, yet they are often perceived as inappropriate. This perception creates confusion about how social workers’ emotions should be integrated into professional practice. Working in child protection (CP) is particularly emotionally complex. However, there is a lack of comprehensive knowledge regarding the emotions experienced by social workers in this specific field.

Objective

This article examines how the emotions of CP social workers influence their judgments and actions. It also discusses how these emotions can act as both a resource and a challenge within the framework of New Public Management.

Participants and setting

We focus on statutory CP social workers in Western countries.

Methods

The study is a systematic scoping review of literature published from the year 2000 onwards and identified through searches in PsychINFO, SocIndex, Academic Search Premier, Scopus, and Google Scholar. We include empirical, peer-reviewed articles that utilize qualitative methods.

Findings

The findings from 19 publications suggest that emotions, particularly negative ones like anger and anxiety, are prevalent in CP practice. Additionally, emotions play at least five distinct roles at various organizational levels: as a relationship builder, a motivating force, a guiding compass, a blind spot, and a burden.

Conclusion

To ensure quality in child protection, it is essential to cultivate emotionally intelligent workplace cultures that encourage reflection on emotions and their impact on practice. Training, continuing education, and emotion-focused supervision for social workers and managers—along with providing adequate time and space—is vital for supporting this development.

降职在社会工作中起着至关重要的作用，但通常被认为是不合适的。这种看法造成了对社会工作者的情绪应该如何融入专业实践的困惑。从事儿童保护工作在情感上尤其复杂。然而，对于社会工作者在这一特定领域所经历的情绪，缺乏全面的了解。目的探讨社会工作者的情绪对其判断和行动的影响。它还讨论了这些情绪如何在新公共管理的框架内既是资源又是挑战。我们关注的是西方国家的法定CP社工。方法：本研究对2000年以来发表的文献进行了系统的范围综述，并通过PsychINFO、SocIndex、Academic Search Premier、Scopus和b谷歌Scholar进行了检索。我们包括经验，同行评审的文章，利用定性方法。来自19份出版物的研究结果表明，情绪，尤其是愤怒和焦虑等负面情绪，在CP实践中很普遍。此外，情绪在不同的组织层面上至少扮演着五种不同的角色：关系的缔造者、激励力量、指引方向的指南针、盲点和负担。结论为确保儿童保护工作的质量，必须培养高情商的工作场所文化，鼓励对情绪的反思及其对实践的影响。对社会工作者和管理者进行培训、继续教育和以情感为中心的监督——以及提供足够的时间和空间——对于支持这种发展至关重要。

A qualitative study exploring the untold local narratives: Gatekeepers’ perspectives on child polyvictimization in Mageta island of western Kenya 一项探索不为人知的地方叙事的定性研究：看门人对肯尼亚西部马格塔岛儿童多重受害的看法

Background

Child abuse is a global menace. Violence against children is a serious and pervasive public health, development, and human rights issue affecting an estimated one billion children aged 2–17 each year. Studies usually focus on single forms of violence and one single type of location or perpetrator. Although there exists empirical work addressing the consequences and impact of specific forms of childhood victimization (such as physical, sexual, or emotional abuse), researchers increasingly recognize the prevalence of polyvictimization or exposure to multiple types of victimization. However, there is paucity of information on local descriptions and perspectives of polyvictimization especially in hard-to-reach areas such as the islands.

Objective

This study explored the local perspectives of polyvictimization based on local narratives of untold stories. Some narratives appeared normal to the locals, though they formed part of polyvictimization.

Participants

and setting: The study was conducted in Mageta Island, western Kenya. Participants were key community gatekeepers selected purposively. They included: one chief, three community health promoters, two police officers, and four beach leaders on the island.

Methods

The study was qualitative in nature and adopted a cross-sectional design. In-depth interviews and informal conversations were utilized to capture the narratives.

Results

Through the gatekeepers' narratives, this study shows that there exists polyvictimization on the Island. In the Island, polyvictimization is presented in various forms: it is unknowingly committed by the perpetrators, there exists transgenerationality of violence, where when children are abused, and they tend to carry the behaviour to adulthood. Polyvictimization is also presented through the socio-economic determinants of violence. Narratives of engaging children in economic activities such as fishing and other forms of child labour were mentioned as some of the determinants. Additionally, figures of child violence and lack of disclosure also emerged as narratives for polyvictimization on the Island.

Conclusion

Multiple child abuse cases are still rampant in Mageta Island. Some of the abuses are due to a lack of knowledge of the repercussions of such abuse on children. Though there has been local sensitization through the office of the chief, there is a need for more grassroots sensitization through the community gatekeepers and other actors interested in children's rights. Such sensitizations should target parents and guardians to minimize more cases of polyvictimization on the island. Moreover, a multi-agency approach could be appropriate in sensitizing the communities on the island.

虐待儿童是一个全球性的威胁。暴力侵害儿童是一个严重和普遍的公共卫生、发展和人权问题，每年影响到大约10亿2-17岁儿童。研究通常侧重于单一形式的暴力和单一类型的地点或肇事者。虽然已有实证研究解决了特定形式的儿童受害（如身体、性或情感虐待）的后果和影响，但研究人员越来越认识到多重受害或暴露于多种类型的受害的普遍存在。但是，缺乏关于当地情况和对多重受害的看法的资料，特别是在岛屿等难以到达的地区。目的探讨基于不为人知故事的地方叙事的多重受害的地方视角。有些叙述对当地人来说是正常的，尽管它们构成了多重受害的一部分。参与者和环境：研究在肯尼亚西部的Mageta岛进行。参与者是有目的选择的关键社区看门人。他们包括：一名酋长、三名社区卫生促进者、两名警察和四名岛上的海滩负责人。方法本研究为定性研究，采用横断面设计。深入的采访和非正式的谈话被用来捕捉叙述。结果通过守门人的叙述，本研究表明岛上存在多重受害现象。在岛上，多重受害以各种形式出现：肇事者在不知情的情况下实施；存在跨代暴力，当儿童受到虐待时，他们往往会将这种行为带到成年。多重受害也通过暴力的社会经济决定因素表现出来。关于让儿童从事诸如捕鱼和其他形式童工等经济活动的叙述被认为是一些决定因素。此外，儿童暴力的数字和缺乏披露也成为岛上多重受害的叙述。结论马格塔岛多起虐待儿童案件仍然十分猖獗。有些虐待是由于不了解这种虐待对儿童的影响。虽然通过主任办公室进行了地方宣传，但仍需要通过社区看门人和其他对儿童权利感兴趣的行动者进行更多的基层宣传。这种宣传应该针对父母和监护人，以尽量减少岛上更多的多重受害案件。此外，多机构的办法可以适当地提高岛上社区的敏感性。

Violence against children is a serious and pervasive public health, development, and human rights issue affecting an estimated one billion children aged 2–17 each year. Studies usually focus on single forms of violence and one single type of location or perpetrator. Although there exists empirical work addressing the consequences and impact of specific forms of childhood victimization (such as physical, sexual, or emotional abuse), researchers increasingly recognize the prevalence of polyvictimization or exposure to multiple types of victimization. However, there is paucity of information on local descriptions and perspectives of polyvictimization especially in hard-to-reach areas such as the islands.</div></div><div><h3>Objective</h3><div>This study explored the local perspectives of polyvictimization based on local narratives of untold stories. Some narratives appeared normal to the locals, though they formed part of polyvictimization.</div></div><div><h3>Participants</h3><div><em>and setting</em>: The study was conducted in Mageta Island, western Kenya. Participants were key community gatekeepers selected purposively. They included: one chief, three community health promoters, two police officers, and four beach leaders on the island.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>The study was qualitative in nature and adopted a cross-sectional design. In-depth interviews and informal conversations were utilized to capture the narratives.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Through the gatekeepers' narratives, this study shows that there exists polyvictimization on the Island. In the Island, polyvictimization is presented in various forms: it is unknowingly committed by the perpetrators, there exists transgenerationality of violence, where when children are abused, and they tend to carry the behaviour to adulthood. Polyvictimization is also presented through the socio-economic determinants of violence. Narratives of engaging children in economic activities such as fishing and other forms of child labour were mentioned as some of the determinants. Additionally, figures of child violence and lack of disclosure also emerged as narratives for polyvictimization on the Island.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Multiple child abuse cases are still rampant in Mageta Island. Some of the abuses are due to a lack of knowledge of the repercussions of such abuse on children. Though there has been local sensitization through the office of the chief, there is a need for more grassroots sensitization through the community gatekeepers and other actors interested in children's rights. Such sensitizations should target parents and guardians to minimize more cases of polyvictimization on the island. Moreover, a multi-agency approach could be appropriate in sensitizing the communities on the island.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100237,"journal":{"name":"Child Protection and Practice","volume":"7 ","pages":"Article 100243"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145268964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article explores the co-design process employed by Terre des Hommes Netherlands (TdH NL) in developing three thematic programmes to address child exploitation for its Listen Up! Strategy (2023–2030). It highlights the integration of diverse knowledge sources, including insights from existing research, children, staff, local partners, and experts, to create effective thematic programmes targeting sexual exploitation, child labour, and exploitation in humanitarian settings. This process begins with a situational analysis, reviewing the literature to establish a global understanding of child exploitation, its prevalence, and effective interventions. After this stage, co-creation sessions were held with 138 children across 12 countries. In these sessions, children engaged with word cloud exercises, storytelling, problem tree analysis, and intervention evaluation. These exercises were also used on co-creation sessions with 166 staff and partners in 14 countries, adding on a stakeholder and power analysis. The culmination of the information gathered was an integration workshop where draft Theories of Change were developed. The paper demonstrates how participatory methods were used to gather insights and shape interventions. This process emphasizes the value of combining academic research with the lived experiences of those directly affected by exploitation, revealing key factors that are often overlooked in conventional research. By documenting and sharing this process, TdH NL provides a framework for future initiatives, ensuring that thematic programs are relevant, comprehensive, and rooted in the realities of affected communities. The article underscores the importance of ongoing collaboration with all stakeholders to develop context-specific strategies for preventing and responding to child exploitation.

本文探讨了Terre des Hommes Netherlands （TdH NL）在为其“Listen Up!”开发三个主题方案时采用的共同设计过程，以解决儿童剥削问题。战略(2023 - 2030)。它强调整合各种知识来源，包括来自现有研究、儿童、工作人员、当地合作伙伴和专家的见解，以创建针对人道主义环境中的性剥削、童工和剥削的有效专题规划。这个过程从情境分析开始，回顾文献，建立对儿童剥削的全球理解，其流行程度，以及有效的干预措施。在这一阶段之后，与来自12个国家的138名儿童举行了共同创作会议。在这些课程中，孩子们参与了单词云练习、讲故事、问题树分析和干预评估。这些练习还用于与14个国家的166名员工和合作伙伴的共同创造会议，并增加了利益相关者和权力分析。收集到的信息的高潮是一个整合研讨会，在那里制定了变革理论草案。本文演示了如何使用参与式方法来收集见解和形成干预措施。这一过程强调了将学术研究与直接受剥削者的生活经验相结合的价值，揭示了传统研究中经常被忽视的关键因素。通过记录和分享这一过程，TdH NL为未来的举措提供了一个框架，确保专题项目具有相关性、全面性，并植根于受影响社区的现实。这篇文章强调了与所有利益攸关方持续合作，制定针对具体情况的预防和应对儿童剥削战略的重要性。
