Background

The transnational family lives of unaccompanied minors (UMs) have gained increasing attention in academic discourse. Transnational family relationships are highly heterogeneous.

Objectives

The aim of this study is to present a typology on the diversity of UMs’ transnational family relationships in order to gain a nuanced view on family relationships. This helps to structure and understand the diversity of experiences relating to transnational family relationships and can serve as a basis for more differentiated research and professional support in practice.

Methods

This constructivist grounded theory study involved the analysis of 35 semi-structured interviews that were carried out in Germany with (former) UMs (n = 12), social workers/pedagogical staff (n = 20), and experts (n = 3).

Results

Five types of UMs' transnational family relationships were identified. Type 1 describes UMs who do not wish to maintain family contact across borders. Type 2 encompasses UMs who do not have the possibility to maintain transnational family relationships despite wishing to do so. Type 3 involves unstable/ambivalent transnational family relationships, and Type 4 refers to UMs with permanent/regular transnational family contact. Type 5 describes UMs in transition from transnational family contact to face to face contact. Specific characteristics, experiences and stressors, UMs’ aims, perspectives on family reunification, and need for social work support are presented with regard to each type.

Conclusion

This study underscores the continued importance of transnational family relationships to displaced UMs and highlights the need to view the diversity of UMs’ transnational family relationships in a nuanced way in research and professional practice.
无人陪伴未成年人的跨国家庭生活越来越受到学术界的关注。跨国家庭关系是高度异质的。目的本研究的目的是提出一种关于UMs跨国家庭关系多样性的类型学,以获得对家庭关系的细致入微的看法。这有助于组织和了解与跨国家庭关系有关的各种经验,并可作为在实践中进行更有区别的研究和专业支助的基础。方法:本建构主义理论研究涉及分析在德国进行的35次半结构化访谈,访谈对象包括(前)UMs (n = 12)、社会工作者/教学人员(n = 20)和专家(n = 3)。结果识别出5种不同类型的跨国家庭关系。类型1描述的是不希望跨境保持家庭联系的UMs。第2类包括那些尽管希望维持跨国家庭关系但却无法维持的家庭成员。类型3涉及不稳定/矛盾的跨国家庭关系,类型4是指具有长期/定期跨国家庭联系的UMs。类型5描述跨国家庭接触向面对面接触过渡的UMs。介绍了每种类型的具体特征、经验和压力源、UMs的目标、对家庭团聚的看法以及对社会工作支持的需求。本研究强调了跨国家庭关系对流离失所的UMs的持续重要性,并强调了在研究和专业实践中以细致入微的方式看待UMs跨国家庭关系多样性的必要性。

Young people transitioning from out-of-home care (OOHC), globally known as care leavers, are recognized as a vulnerable group relative to non-care-experienced young people. Previous literature from Indonesia reveals the need for policy and formal support for care leavers. This study is part of a doctoral study focusing on young people transitioning from out-of-home care in Indonesia, in which the first author, an Indonesian researcher, scopes the primary studies and peer-reviewed articles available in jurisdictions that have cultural, social, and geographical proximity with Indonesia.
This study used a scoping review method proposed by Arksey and O’Malley (2005). The authors searched six known databases. From 2,893 articles screened, 65 articles underwent a full-text review, and a total of 21 studies met the inclusion criteria for this scoping study.
Several themes emerged from the scoping review including: (1) Inadequate formal leaving care and aftercare support for care leavers; (2) Promising practices of leaving care and after care intervention; (3) Residential care settings (RCS) as major care arrangements and their impact on young people leaving out-of-home care in Asia; (4) Poor preparation and insufficient support within out-of-home care (OOHC) settings; (5) Stigma and cultural barriers after leaving care, especially for girls and young women; (6) The importance of informal support from others while transitioning into adulthood; (7) The significance of independent living skills for care leavers; and (8) Care leavers’ resilience, and coping mechanisms. Discussions and policy implications are further discussed.
从家庭外护理(OOHC)过渡的年轻人,在全球被称为护理离开者,被认为是相对于没有护理经验的年轻人的弱势群体。印度尼西亚以前的文献揭示了对护理离开者的政策和正式支持的必要性。本研究是一项博士研究的一部分,该研究的重点是印度尼西亚的年轻人从家庭外护理过渡,该研究的第一作者是一名印度尼西亚研究员,他对与印度尼西亚有文化、社会和地理邻近的司法管辖区的主要研究和同行评议文章进行了分析。本研究采用了Arksey和O 'Malley(2005)提出的范围审查方法。作者检索了六个已知的数据库。从筛选的2,893篇文章中,65篇文章进行了全文审查,共有21篇研究符合本范围研究的纳入标准。从范围审查中出现了几个主题,包括:(1)对护理离开者的正式离职护理和善后支持不足;(2)有希望的离开护理和护理后干预实践;(3)在亚洲地区,寄宿照顾机构作为主要的照顾安排及其对离开家外照顾的青少年的影响;(4)家庭外护理(OOHC)环境中的准备不足和支持不足;(5)离开护理后的耻辱和文化障碍,特别是对女孩和年轻妇女;(6)在向成年过渡期间,来自他人非正式支持的重要性;(7)独立生活技能对照顾者的意义;(8)照顾者的适应能力和应对机制。讨论和政策影响将进一步讨论。

Debate regarding the effectiveness of mandatory reporting policies in addressing child abuse has intensified globally. This study evaluates the impact of China’s 2020 national mandatory reporting policy on social workers’ reporting behavior and perceptions of child abuse. Drawing on two-wave national survey data from the Chinese Social Work Longitudinal Study (2019 pre-policy, 2022 post-policy), the study applies propensity score matching, chi-square/t tests, and multivariate regression analyses. The findings revealed that the policy significantly increased social workers’ reporting behavior (χ2 = 188.96, p < 0.01) and abuse perception (t = 4.11, p < 0.01). Social workers with longer work experience (OR = 1.10, p < 0.01), or in supervisory roles (OR = 1.98, p < 0.05), were more likely to report child abuse cases. Additionally, being younger (β = −0.07, p < 0.01), holding a major in social work (β = 0.06, p < 0.05), having social work certification (β = 0.12, p < 0.001), exposure to similar cases (β = 0.09, p < 0.001), and not playing a supervisory role (β = −0.05, p < 0.01) were associated with enhanced child abuse perception. The findings underscore the need for tailored training programs to address disparities in recognizing and reporting child abuse.
关于强制性报告政策在处理虐待儿童问题方面的有效性的辩论在全球范围内愈演愈烈。本研究评估了中国2020年国家强制报告政策对社工报告行为和虐待儿童认知的影响。本研究利用中国社会工作纵向研究的两波全国调查数据(2019年政策前、2022年政策后),应用倾向得分匹配、卡方/t检验和多元回归分析。调查结果显示,该政策显著增加了社工的报告行为(χ2 = 188.96, p < 0.01)和虐待感知(t = 4.11, p < 0.01)。工作经验较长的社会工作者(OR = 1.10, p < 0.01)或担任监督角色的社会工作者(OR = 1.98, p < 0.05)报告虐待儿童案件的可能性更大。此外,年龄较小(β = - 0.07, p < 0.01)、主修社会工作(β = 0.06, p < 0.05)、拥有社会工作证书(β = 0.12, p < 0.001)、接触过类似案例(β = 0.09, p < 0.001)、没有担任监督角色(β = - 0.05, p < 0.01)与儿童虐待感知增强相关。研究结果强调,需要有针对性的培训计划,以解决在识别和报告虐待儿童方面的差距。

Patterns of vulnerability: A descriptive study on intergenerational child welfare involvement 脆弱性模式:代际儿童福利参与的描述性研究
IF 1.7 2区 社会学 Q1 FAMILY STUDIES Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2026-01-14 DOI: 10.1016/j.childyouth.2026.108781

Background

Limited research has thoroughly examined the experiences of families intergenerationally involved with Child Protective Services (CPS), which restricts our understanding of their complex realities. Building on a previous latent class analysis (Kern et al., 2025), this descriptive study aimed to document clinically relevant profiles of Quebec urban families intergenerationally involved with CPS.

Methods

A sample of 108 children and their parents were categorized into four groups based on prior latent class analyses of child substantiated child maltreatment (CM): (1) Risk of CM (n = 11), (2) Highly Polyvictimized (n = 30), (3) Sexual Abuse, Physical Abuse, and Neglect (n = 25), and (4) Exposure to Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and Psychological Maltreatment (n = 42). Drawing on CPS case file data, the study provided group comparisons on parental psychosocial functioning of families in each group, including mental health problems, substance use, criminal behaviour, chronic illness or disability, and contextual adversity.

Results

Findings indicate that all families faced a significant number of challenges. Distinct clinical profiles also emerged among the groups. Notably, mothers in the Risk of CM group often presented significant histories of childhood neglect, substance use, and criminal involvement, highlighting systemic challenges in breaking the cycle. The Highly Polyvictimized group was characterized by pervasive trauma, with parents frequently exhibiting substantial mental health issues and job insecurity.

Conclusions

Findings highlight distinct patterns of vulnerability across CM subgroups, underscoring the need for tailored interventions, such as targeted prenatal interventions for families at risk of CM.
有限的研究已经彻底检查了家庭代际参与儿童保护服务(CPS)的经验,这限制了我们对其复杂现实的理解。基于先前的潜在分类分析(Kern et al., 2025),本描述性研究旨在记录魁北克城市家庭代际CPS的临床相关资料。方法对108名儿童及其父母进行潜在类别分析,将其分为4组:(1)有儿童虐待风险(n = 11),(2)多重受害(n = 30),(3)性虐待、身体虐待和忽视(n = 25),(4)接触亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)和心理虐待(n = 42)。利用CPS案件档案数据,该研究对每一组家庭的父母心理社会功能进行了分组比较,包括心理健康问题、药物使用、犯罪行为、慢性疾病或残疾以及环境逆境。结果调查结果表明,所有家庭都面临着大量的挑战。不同的临床特征也出现在各组之间。值得注意的是,CM风险组的母亲通常有明显的童年忽视、药物使用和犯罪前科,这突出了打破这种循环的系统性挑战。高度多重受害者群体的特点是普遍存在创伤,父母经常表现出严重的心理健康问题和工作不安全感。研究结果强调了不同CM亚组的脆弱性模式,强调了量身定制干预措施的必要性,例如针对有CM风险的家庭进行针对性的产前干预。

‘Unlocking child participation’: Development and validation of the Child Participation Post-Separation Scale (ChiPPS) “解锁儿童参与”:分离后儿童参与量表(ChiPPS)的开发与验证
IF 1.7 2区 社会学 Q1 FAMILY STUDIES Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2025-12-16 DOI: 10.1016/j.childyouth.2025.108725

Children have a right to participate in all decisions affecting them according to international human rights law. In the context of parental separation, many decisions need to be made regarding children’s lives in which their right to be heard should be safeguarded. From a theoretical perspective, meaningful child participation is considered beneficial to them, but when parents have separated it can also be dysfunctional, bringing risks to the children involved. To better grasp child participation and its anticipated benefits and risks, we developed and validated the Child Participation Post-separation Scale (ChiPPS). Throughout the developmental phase, a panel of youth experts by experience (n = 15) was consulted to ensure its content and face validity. Based on a sample of N = 218 adolescents (M = 15.9; SD = 2.25), five lower-order subscales (expressing views, feeling heard, dysfunctional, influence, feedback) and 2 higher-order subscales (decision process, due weight) were identified in the factor analyses. All subscales showed good internal consistency and were meaningfully associated with single-item measures of children’s involvement and satisfaction with the decisions made, and adolescent reports of parenting, psychological need satisfaction, and adjustment (convergence validity). Overall, the ChiPPS captured multiple distinct, yet intertwined dimensions of children’s experiences, feelings and understanding in the decision-making process regarding their living arrangements following parental separation. This provides researchers with a reliable instrument to measure child participation post-separation that is meaningful both in terms of children’s rights and in relation to their adjustment.
根据国际人权法,儿童有权参与影响到他们的所有决定。在父母分居的情况下,需要就儿童的生活作出许多决定,在这些决定中,儿童的表达意见的权利应当得到保障。从理论的角度来看,有意义的孩子参与被认为是对他们有益的,但当父母分开时,它也可能是功能失调的,给参与其中的孩子带来风险。为了更好地掌握儿童参与及其预期的收益和风险,我们开发并验证了儿童参与分离后量表(ChiPPS)。在整个发展阶段,咨询了一个由经验丰富的青年专家组成的小组(n = 15),以确保其内容和表面有效性。基于N = 218名青少年(M = 15.9, SD = 2.25)的样本,在因子分析中确定了5个低阶分量表(表达观点、感觉被倾听、功能失调、影响、反馈)和2个高阶分量表(决策过程、应有权重)。所有子量表都显示出良好的内部一致性,并且与儿童参与和决策满意度的单项测量,以及父母养育,心理需求满意度和适应的青少年报告(收敛效度)有意义的关联。总的来说,ChiPPS捕获了多个不同的,但交织在一起的维度的孩子的经验,感受和理解的决策过程中,他们的生活安排在父母分离后。这为研究人员提供了一个可靠的工具来衡量分离后儿童的参与,这在儿童权利和他们的调整方面都是有意义的。

Spiritual care in Children’ Advocacy Centers: results of a survey of CAC directors 儿童倡导中心的精神关怀:对中心主任的调查结果
IF 1.7 2区 社会学 Q1 FAMILY STUDIES Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2026-01-09 DOI: 10.1016/j.childyouth.2026.108767

Many offenders against children use religion to facilitate abuse, which causes children spiritual harm. Moreover, child victims may generally suffer spiritual harm because abuse shakes their belief in a just and loving God. The spiritual harm is often exacerbated if the abuser is clergy and/or a congregation rallies around the abuser. Religion and spirituality can also be important resources for children’s recovery. This research assesses spiritual harm and healing encountered in Children’s Advocacy Centers (CAC), which coordinate the investigative and service response in thousands of child abuse cases. The project surveyed all 964 U.S. Children’s Advocacy Centers directors and 172 responded. The results indicate that, particularly in the Southern region, many CACs are seeing spiritual harm in their practice, and some are also witnessing spirituality used to help children heal. The most common responses to children raising a spiritual question were to recommend the child discuss it with their therapist and to refer the child to a local faith community, but the survey results suggest that most members of the multidisciplinary team, including therapists, lack training on spiritual care and most CACs have limited relationships with local faith communities. Over one-third of CAC directors either strongly or somewhat favored a spiritual care program or have implemented one, but a larger percentage were uncommitted. However, most respondents reported being interested in learning more and receiving resources and guidance, suggesting that the path is open for improvement in providing spiritual care to child victims in CACs.
许多侵犯儿童的罪犯利用宗教来促进虐待,这对儿童造成了精神伤害。此外,儿童受害者通常会遭受精神上的伤害,因为虐待动摇了他们对公正和慈爱的上帝的信仰。如果施虐者是神职人员和/或会众聚集在施虐者周围,精神伤害往往会加剧。宗教和精神也可以是儿童康复的重要资源。这项研究评估了儿童倡导中心(CAC)遇到的精神伤害和治疗,该中心协调了数千起儿童虐待案件的调查和服务反应。该项目调查了964名美国儿童倡导中心主任,其中172人做出了回应。结果表明,特别是在南部地区,许多cac在他们的实践中看到了精神上的伤害,有些人也看到了用于帮助儿童治愈的精神。对于孩子提出的精神问题,最常见的回应是建议孩子与他们的治疗师讨论这个问题,并将孩子转介到当地的信仰社区,但调查结果表明,包括治疗师在内的多学科团队的大多数成员缺乏精神护理方面的培训,而且大多数cac与当地信仰社区的关系有限。超过三分之一的CAC董事强烈或多少支持精神关怀计划,或者已经实施了一个,但更多的人没有承诺。然而,大多数答复者报告说,他们有兴趣了解更多情况并获得资源和指导,这表明,在为儿童福利院的受害儿童提供精神关怀方面,道路是开放的。

IF 1.7 2区 社会学 Q1 FAMILY STUDIES Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2026-01-18 DOI: 10.1016/j.childyouth.2026.108783

Background and purpose

Children with developmental disabilities (DDs) often benefit from multiple treatments and therapies, and family-centered care (FCC) is encouraged to optimize child and family outcomes. However, limited understanding exists concerning these families’ experiences. This study aimed to explore families’ experiences with treatments and therapies for children with DDs, based on the principles of FCC.

Methods

Focus group interviews were conducted with 19 parents of children with DDs in Korea. The semistructured interviews, guided by the FCC model, focused on key FCC components such as collaboration, education, family context, and policies. The data were analyzed using a directed content analysis approach.

Results

Four major themes emerged corresponding to the FCC components: (1) Running in a three-legged race: parents valued active collaboration with competent healthcare practitioners but encountered inconsistent communication and superficial feedback; (2) Guiding stars on the journey: while parents appreciated opportunities for learning and peer support, they reported receiving little emotional support from healthcare practitioners; (3) Weaving the family and therapy together: some families experienced psychological growth through treatments and therapies for their children, but these processes often imposed emotional and financial strain; (4) Maze of public support: parents expressed frustration with the fragmentation of formal support and inconsistent access to quality care.

Conclusions and implications

The findings demonstrate gaps in the implementation of FCC in therapeutic interventions for children with DDs. These insights indicate the need for more effective, family-centered approaches to enhance communication, provide emotional and practical support, and improve the fragmented public support systems.
背景和目的发育障碍儿童(dd)通常受益于多种治疗和疗法,鼓励以家庭为中心的护理(FCC)来优化儿童和家庭的结果。然而,对这些家庭的经历了解有限。本研究旨在探讨基于FCC原则的adhd儿童的家庭治疗和治疗经验。方法采用焦点小组访谈法,对19名儿童的父母进行调查。半结构化访谈在FCC模式的指导下,重点关注FCC的关键组成部分,如合作、教育、家庭背景和政策。使用定向内容分析方法对数据进行分析。结果与FCC组成部分相对应的四个主要主题:(1)三足赛跑:家长重视与有能力的医护人员的积极合作,但遇到不一致的沟通和肤浅的反馈;(2)在旅途中引导明星:虽然父母很欣赏学习和同伴支持的机会,但他们很少得到医疗从业者的情感支持;(3)将家庭和治疗结合起来:一些家庭通过对孩子的治疗和治疗经历了心理成长,但这些过程往往会带来情感和经济上的压力;(4)公众支持的迷宫:父母对正式支持的碎片化和获得高质量护理的不一致表示失望。结论和意义研究结果表明,FCC在儿童发育障碍治疗干预措施中的实施存在差距。这些见解表明,需要采取更有效的、以家庭为中心的方法来加强沟通,提供情感和实际支持,并改善支离破碎的公共支持系统。

Process-evaluation of the implementation of a collaborative community programme for health, safety and talent development in youth 对一项促进青年健康、安全和人才发展的社区合作方案的执行情况进行过程评价
IF 1.7 2区 社会学 Q1 FAMILY STUDIES Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2026-01-17 DOI: 10.1016/j.childyouth.2026.108779

We studied the implementation-process of a collaborative community programme (Promising Neighbourhoods) aiming to impact local urban youths’ health, safety and talent development and reduce socioeconomic health differences. In three intervention neighbourhoods categorised as having low, middle and high problem severity, an integrated community programme was implemented and compared to three similar neighbourhoods in which the programme was not implemented. Due to contextual challenges, some of the planned data-collection activities could not be executed as intended. We compensated for this by collecting alternative data where possible. Focus group discussions were conducted among community stakeholders and additionally among municipal professionals on the operational and tactical-strategic level to examine ‘assets’, ‘inputs’ and ‘outputs’ of the programme. Questionnaires were administered among parents of 0- to 12-year-olds to additionally examine care or service use and participation in organised activities by parents and children. Project documentation was additionally used to examine ‘outputs’. Focus group data was analysed using thematic coding, The parent questionnaire was analysed for differences post-implementation using chi-square tests and project documentation was summarized descriptively. The intervention neighbourhoods formed broad networks of stakeholders and succeeded in shared priority setting and developing integrated action plans. Choosing interventions for implementation was regarded as difficult. Data-gathering by the municipality on intervention implementation and reach of target populations did not succeed. The parent questionnaire yielded no differences between intervention and comparator neighbourhoods in care or service use or participation in organised activities by parents or children post-implementation. The findings indicate that although some steps in the programme seemed successful, future research with a longer follow-up period that takes into account the challenges to study the implementation-process of integrated community programmes is needed to further elucidate which components contribute to the desired impact of integrated community programmes.
我们研究了一个合作社区项目(有希望的社区)的实施过程,该项目旨在影响当地城市青年的健康、安全和人才发展,并减少社会经济健康差异。在三个问题严重程度分为低、中、高的干预社区中,实施了综合社区计划,并与三个没有实施该计划的类似社区进行了比较。由于环境方面的挑战,一些计划的数据收集活动无法按计划执行。我们通过尽可能收集替代数据来弥补这一点。在社区利益相关者和市政专业人员之间进行了焦点小组讨论,在业务和战术战略层面审查了该方案的“资产”、“投入”和“产出”。对0至12岁儿童的父母进行问卷调查,以进一步调查父母和儿童对护理或服务的使用情况以及参与有组织的活动。项目文件还用于检查“输出”。使用专题编码对焦点小组数据进行分析,使用卡方检验对家长问卷进行实施后差异分析,并对项目文档进行描述性总结。干预社区形成了广泛的利益攸关方网络,成功地共同确定了优先事项并制定了综合行动计划。选择实施干预措施被认为是困难的。市政当局收集的关于干预措施实施情况和目标人群覆盖范围的数据没有成功。家长问卷调查显示,在实施后,在护理或服务的使用或父母或儿童参与有组织的活动方面,干预社区与比较社区之间没有差异。调查结果表明,虽然方案中的一些步骤似乎是成功的,但今后需要进行更长后续期的研究,考虑到研究综合社区方案的执行过程所面临的挑战,以进一步阐明哪些组成部分有助于实现综合社区方案的预期影响。

Causal attribution: a theoretical framework for understanding the significance of children’s perceptions of family violence 因果归因:理解儿童对家庭暴力认知意义的理论框架
IF 1.7 2区 社会学 Q1 FAMILY STUDIES Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2026-01-29 DOI: 10.1016/j.childyouth.2026.108801

This study investigates how children’s perceptions of the causes of family violence influence their development, framed through causal attribution theory. By analysing emergency care order decisions from the Norwegian Child Welfare Tribunal, the research identifies three primary themes in children’s interpretations of violence: behaviour-related justifications, parental emotional reactions, and discipline and control mechanisms. Findings reveal that children often attribute violence to their own behaviour, parental stress, or emotional states and view it as a form of discipline. These perceptions can lead to significant risks, including feelings of guilt, anxiety, and the adoption of passive coping strategies, which may result in unresolved emotional issues. These insights highlight the importance of tailored interventions in child welfare practices to address and reshape children’s attributions, enhancing their sense of safety and stability at home. Further research is recommended to explore the long-term effects of these attributions and the effectiveness of specific interventions.
本研究以因果归因理论为框架,探讨儿童对家庭暴力成因的认知如何影响其发展。通过分析挪威儿童福利法庭的紧急护理令决定,研究确定了儿童对暴力解释的三个主要主题:与行为有关的理由、父母的情绪反应以及纪律和控制机制。调查结果显示,儿童往往将暴力归咎于自己的行为、父母的压力或情绪状态,并将其视为一种纪律。这些认知会导致重大风险,包括内疚感、焦虑感和采取被动应对策略,这可能导致未解决的情感问题。这些见解强调了在儿童福利实践中采取量身定制的干预措施的重要性,以解决和重塑儿童的归因,增强他们在家中的安全感和稳定感。建议进一步研究以探索这些归因的长期影响和具体干预措施的有效性。

Exploring parents’ repertoire of everyday resistance in child welfare services — Towards a power-sensitive understanding of resistance 探索父母在儿童福利服务中的日常抵制行为——走向对抵制的权力敏感理解
IF 1.7 2区 社会学 Q1 FAMILY STUDIES Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2026-01-13 DOI: 10.1016/j.childyouth.2026.108772

Tension between help and control is characteristic of many welfare services. Although resistance is a common reaction to control, it has received less attention in the social sciences than does power. This paper draws on the concept of everyday resistance to empirically and theoretically study how parents in contact with the Norwegian child welfare service (CWS) resist the well-meaning power of the service. The analysis demonstrates that parents in contact with the service draw on a vast repertoire of everyday resistance: avoidance, the involvement of persons outside the service, constructive resistance, objection and pretending to accommodate. Parents’ resistance and the contexts in which it occurs reveal that relationships between child welfare workers (CWWs) and parents are not simply straightforward power dynamics in which all parents are equally subordinate to the service. Rather, these relationships are fluid, evolve over time, and are shaped by both material conditions and discursive frameworks—factors that are closely tied to the parents’ class background. Recognising resistance as a natural phenomenon within child welfare services (CWS) is a crucial first step toward becoming more attuned to everyday acts of resistance, particularly subtle acts, which marginalised families more often play out. By listening closely to parents’ resistance, we recognise them as knowledgeable subjects whose insights can contribute to more reflexive and sensitive services.
帮助和控制之间的紧张关系是许多福利服务的特点。尽管抵抗是对控制的一种常见反应,但在社会科学中,它受到的关注不如权力。本文利用日常抗拒的概念,从实证和理论两方面研究与挪威儿童福利服务(CWS)接触的父母如何抗拒该服务的善意力量。分析表明,与服务机构接触的父母会利用日常抵制的大量手段:回避、服务机构以外的人参与、建设性抵制、反对和假装适应。父母的抵制和这种抵制发生的背景表明,儿童福利工作者(CWWs)和父母之间的关系不是简单的直接的权力动态,在这种关系中,所有的父母都平等地服从于服务。相反,这些关系是流动的,随着时间的推移而演变,并受到物质条件和话语框架的影响——这些因素与父母的阶级背景密切相关。认识到抵制是儿童福利服务(CWS)内部的一种自然现象,这是迈向更加适应日常抵制行为,尤其是边缘化家庭更经常出现的微妙行为的关键的第一步。通过仔细倾听家长的反对意见,我们认识到他们是知识渊博的主体,他们的见解可以有助于提供更具反身性和敏感性的服务。
