It is hard to find much that is optimistic about children’s services at the moment. Bad news always displaces good but reports from local authorities and charities continually broadcast worrying news. Among those concerned is Anne Longfield, the former Children’s Commissioner for England and now Director of the Commission on Young Lives. She states that the children’s social care system in England is ‘unfit for purpose’ and gives examples of dangerous practices such as ‘handing over’ some vulnerable teenagers to criminals and abusers by moving them ‘out of area’ to live in dangerous unregulated accommodation. Many of the problems making the news have been exacerbated by Covid, so there is a feeling that things should improve once things return to ‘normal’. But one statement in her 2021 report deals with a more enduring issue:
目前很难找到对儿童服务持乐观态度的人。坏消息总是取代好消息,但来自地方当局和慈善机构的报道却不断传出令人担忧的消息。安妮·朗菲尔德(Anne Longfield)就是其中之一,她曾是英格兰儿童事务专员,现在是青少年生活委员会主任。她指出,英国的儿童社会照顾系统“不符合目的”,并举例说明了一些危险的做法,比如把一些脆弱的青少年“交给”罪犯和施虐者,让他们“离开这个地区”,住在危险的、不受监管的住所。新冠疫情加剧了许多新闻问题,因此人们认为,一旦一切恢复“正常”,情况就会好转。但她在2021年的报告中提到了一个更持久的问题:

In April 2021 a case was heard in the Court of Appeal in which the applicant noticed that the local authority had applied for a placement order on the basis of an Agency Decision-Maker’s (ADM) decision that had not been made in accordance with the Adoption Agencies Regulations 2005. That case prompted a widespread review of cases where placement orders had been obtained by Somerset County Council and gave rise to an application in a group of cases in which children were in the process of being matched with prospective adopters. The application was for a declaration under Part 18 of the Family Procedure Rules 2010 that the placement orders had been lawfully made, notwithstanding the accepted breach of the Regulations. The local authority agreed that they had breached Regulations 15 and 17. At the time of the ADM decision, the agency did not have a health report from the agency medical adviser, or advice that one was not required. In addition, the Child’s Permanence Report did not include a summary, written by the agency medical adviser, of the state of the child’s health. The court found that the breaches of the Regulations were not merely matters of form which could be easily rectified, but potentially of substance. In each case, the court reviewed the medical reports that had been available to the ADM at the time of decision, and subsequent medical reports. In each case, the court came to the conclusion that the ADM had sufficient medical information before her at the time of making the decision, and that the medical adviser would have been unlikely to recommend further examination. The declarations were therefore made that the decisions and the subsequent placement orders were lawfully made. The court also considered the appointment of the medical adviser, which is required by Regulation 9. There was no formal document setting out the terms of appointment, but the court was satisfied from correspondence made available that the medical adviser had been properly appointed and subject to appropriate supervision and training.
2021年4月,上诉法院审理了一个案件,其中申请人注意到,地方当局根据机构决策者的决定申请了安置令,而该决定没有按照2005年《收养机构条例》作出。该案件促使对萨默塞特郡议会已获得安置令的案件进行广泛审查,并在一组儿童正在与可能的收养人配对的案件中提出申请。该申请是根据2010年《家庭程序规则》第18部分声明安置令是合法作出的,尽管已承认违反了该规则。当地政府承认他们违反了第15条和第17条规定。在ADM作出决定时,该机构没有收到机构医疗顾问的健康报告,也没有收到不需要医疗顾问的建议。此外,《儿童的持久性报告》没有包括由工程处医疗顾问撰写的关于儿童健康状况的摘要。法院认为,违反《条例》不仅是形式问题,可以很容易地加以纠正,而且是潜在的实质问题。在每一起案件中,法院都审查了在作出决定时向ADM提供的医疗报告以及随后的医疗报告。在每个案件中,法院得出的结论是,ADM在作出决定时掌握了充分的医疗信息,医疗顾问不太可能建议进一步检查。因此,声明这些决定和随后的安置令是合法作出的。法院还审议了《条例》第9条所要求的医疗顾问的任命。没有正式文件规定任命条件,但法院从收到的信函中确信,医疗顾问得到了适当的任命,并受到了适当的监督和培训。

Breathing space: CoramBAAF Health Group conference, 2021 – a summary 呼吸空间:CoramBAAF健康小组会议,2021 -总结
Pub Date : 2022-03-01 DOI: 10.1177/03085759221090193
The opening keynote session was introduced by Kelda Wood MBE, founder of the charity Climbing Out. She was in conversation with Paralympic athlete, Nick Beighton, discussing their approach to mental health and focusing on the development of resilience following lifechanging traumatic experiences. Both speakers had represented Great Britain in specific activities – paracanoe, rowing and mountain climbing. Climbing Out (https://climbingout. org.uk) was established in 2010 by Kelda who, inspired by what she had learned in her personal journey, now uses this experience to help others who have been affected by lifechanging trauma or illness. The programmes developed and delivered by Climbing Out focus on building resilience. Participants learn to challenge their attitudes and perceptions based on the concept of three As: Acknowledge (life is tough and it is okay to feel how you feel), Accept (that it has happened and you cannot change it) and Action (what you can do, taking control and building on experience). It was inspiring to hear the speakers’ passion and determination in developing and delivering their model. Delegates could instantly relate stories from Climbing Out to the experience of children in care who have often experienced life changing trauma, and conference discussion included comments such as ‘We really need to develop more resilience-building opportunities and resources for our children and young people.’
开幕主题演讲由慈善机构climb Out的创始人Kelda Wood MBE介绍。她与残奥会运动员尼克·拜顿(Nick Beighton)进行了对话,讨论了他们对待心理健康的方法,并重点讨论了在经历了影响一生的创伤后恢复力的发展。两位发言人都曾代表英国参加过一些特定的活动,如滑翔艇、划船和登山。爬出去(https://climbingout)。org.uk)是由Kelda于2010年创立的,她在个人旅程中学到的东西启发了她,现在用这段经历来帮助那些受到影响生命的创伤或疾病影响的人。“爬出”组织制定和提供的项目侧重于建设复原力。参与者学习挑战自己的态度和观念,基于三个a的概念:承认(生活是艰难的,感受你的感受是可以的),接受(它已经发生了,你不能改变它)和行动(你能做的,控制和建立在经验基础上)。听到演讲者在开发和交付他们的模型时的激情和决心,令人鼓舞。代表们可以立即将《走出困境》中的故事与经常经历改变生活的创伤的儿童的经历联系起来,会议讨论包括“我们真的需要为我们的儿童和年轻人开发更多的恢复能力的机会和资源”等评论。

Childlessness among adopted women: A study of the role of attachment through Bird’s Nest Drawings 被收养妇女的无子女:通过鸟巢图研究依恋的作用

Adopted adults are presented in the literature as having a more insecure attachment than the general population. They are also less likely to want to have children of their own, which is significant in that studies have shown that attachment is an important determinant of the desire for parenthood. The aim of the present study was to link these two findings and seek a better understanding of the role of attachment in adoptees’ choice of childlessness. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven nulliparous adopted women who did not wish to have children; during these interviews they also undertook the Bird’s Nest Drawing (BND) test. This allows access to participants’ parental representations in addition to measuring their attachment. Analysis of the drawings and associated stories suggested that insecure attachment (especially avoidant) is particularly decisive in the choice of childlessness. Their interview responses stressed adequate or inadequate mothering, self-sufficiency and threat to the family, which further indicated why the women chose not to have children. The theoretical and clinical implications of the findings are discussed, particularly the value of the Bird’s Nest Drawing test for adults who have experienced early discontinuities in their lives.
在文献中,被收养的成年人比一般人有更不安全的依恋。他们也不太可能想要自己的孩子,这一点很重要,因为研究表明,依恋是父母渴望的重要决定因素。本研究的目的是将这两项发现联系起来,并寻求更好地理解依恋在被收养者选择不生育中的作用。对7名不希望生育的未婚被收养妇女进行了半结构化访谈;在面试期间,他们还接受了鸟巢绘画(BND)测试。除了测量他们的依恋之外,这还允许访问参与者的父母陈述。对这些图画和相关故事的分析表明,不安全的依恋(尤其是逃避型)在选择不生育的过程中起着特别重要的作用。她们的访谈回答强调了适当或不适当的养育、自给自足和对家庭的威胁,这进一步说明了妇女选择不生孩子的原因。讨论了研究结果的理论和临床意义,特别是鸟巢绘画测试对生活中早期经历不连续性的成年人的价值。

Invisible children: The out-of-home care and education of babies and toddlers 隐形儿童:婴儿和学步儿童的户外照顾和教育

Many thousands of very young children pass through the UK care system every year. Understandably, social workers are reluctant to separate children from their parents, and legal protections designed to prevent the separation from becoming permanent lead to constant delay in making longer-term plans. The aim is that the children should either be returned to their birth families or placed for adoption, but this is not achieved in up to 50% of cases. Consequently, many infants and toddlers remain in foster care, intended to be temporary, for long periods. Yet we know little about their lives in care or who looks after them. Research on foster care and on early childhood education and care (ECEC) has developed on separate and unrelated lines, resulting in an extreme shortage of empirical evidence about the care and education of fostered children under school age. Lack of attention to this critical period of life fails to take account of advances in research both on early brain development and on the lasting effects of adverse childhood experiences. Meanwhile, young children continue to be moved between short-term foster placements for administrative reasons, ignoring the undisputed importance of stable early attachments. The potential of foster care as a learning and therapeutic resource in the early years has also been largely overlooked. Better mental health and educational attainment for children in out-of-home care require a much stronger policy focus on their earliest experiences and developmental progress. This article argues that there is an urgent need for research-based information to guide policy and practice.
每年都有成千上万的幼童通过英国的看护系统。可以理解的是,社会工作者不愿意将孩子与父母分开,而旨在防止永久分离的法律保护导致制定长期计划的时间不断推迟。其目的是让这些儿童要么回到他们的出生家庭,要么被收养,但这一点在多达50%的情况下都没有实现。因此,许多婴儿和蹒跚学步的孩子长期被寄养,本意是暂时的。然而,我们对他们的生活知之甚少,也不知道是谁在照顾他们。关于寄养和幼儿教育与护理(ECEC)的研究是在分开和不相关的方向上发展的,导致关于寄养学龄以下儿童的照顾和教育的经验证据极度缺乏。对生命中这一关键时期缺乏关注,就没有考虑到关于早期大脑发育和不良童年经历的持久影响的研究进展。与此同时,由于行政原因,年幼的孩子继续在短期寄养机构之间转移,忽视了稳定的早期依恋的无可争议的重要性。寄养作为早期学习和治疗资源的潜力也在很大程度上被忽视了。为家庭外照料儿童提供更好的心理健康和教育成就,需要政策更加注重他们的早期经历和发展进步。本文认为,迫切需要以研究为基础的信息来指导政策和实践。

The court were satisfied that R and A were living as ‘partners in an enduring family relationship’ which allowed A to apply for a ‘step-parent adoption’ under section 51(2). The court considered that the courts have applied a ‘wide and flexible’ definition of home and that there was no definition of home in the Act. The Act does not require that the child be continuously in the care of the proposed adopter, nor that the adopter and child have to share the same residence. The court found that ‘home’ will never be seen merely in a physical or geographical context: ‘“Home” is a place where there is an emotional connection.’ In the context of an 18-year-old who regards A as his father and has an emotional bond with him, it could be found that YP’s home is with A despite not living in the same country. The court considered other issues relating to YP’s interest in remaining part of his paternal birth family and the effect of an adoption on A’s adult children, whom YP did not know, and decided that it was in YP’s best interests to make an adoption order.
法庭信纳R和A作为“长期家庭关系中的伴侣”生活,因此A可以根据第51(2)条申请“继父母收养”。法院认为,法院对“家”的定义“宽泛而灵活”,该法中没有对“家”的定义。该法不要求儿童由拟议的收养人持续照料,也不要求收养人和儿童必须住在同一住所。法院发现,“家”绝不仅仅是在物理或地理环境中出现:“家”是一个有情感联系的地方。“在一个18岁的孩子把A当作自己的父亲,和他有感情纽带的背景下,可以发现YP的家是和A在一起的,尽管他们不在同一个国家。”法庭考虑了其他有关YP对其生父家庭的剩余部分的权益,以及领养对YP不认识的A的成年子女的影响等问题,并决定作出领养令符合YP的最佳利益。

The feelings and coping strategies of children placed in Flemish family foster care 佛兰德家庭寄养儿童的感受与应对策略

This article describes how 27 foster children aged 12 to 18 years old, placed in Flemish long-term family foster care, experience life in their foster family and how they cope with their feelings. Evidence from a combination of the children's selection of visual images displaying different emotions (emoticons) and semi-structured interviews shows that they mostly express positive feelings, such as happiness and pride, but simultaneously experience difficult emotions like sadness, anger and confusion. Positive feelings are mostly related to being able to feel like an ‘ordinary’ kid and negative ones to strained relationships with birth parents. Investigations into how the children cope with these emotions distinguished two groups: those who talk about their feelings with friends and other supportive figures and those who hide them. The latter group needs to be provided with strategies to better comprehend and express their feelings; among those suggested were activities that offer tranquility, consolation or distraction and having a private place for themselves. More attention to the emotional experiences of foster children and the ways they cope with their emotions is recommended in policy, practice and research if children's well-being is to be enhanced.
本文描述了27名12至18岁的寄养儿童,他们被安置在佛兰德长期家庭寄养中心,他们在寄养家庭的生活经历以及他们如何应对自己的感受。结合儿童选择显示不同情绪的视觉图像(表情符号)和半结构化访谈的证据表明,他们大多表达积极的情绪,如快乐和骄傲,但同时也会经历悲伤、愤怒和困惑等困难的情绪。积极的感觉主要与感觉自己是一个“普通”的孩子有关,消极的感觉主要与与亲生父母的紧张关系有关。对孩子们如何应对这些情绪的调查将他们分成了两组:一组会与朋友和其他支持他们的人谈论自己的感受,另一组会隐藏自己的感受。后一组需要提供策略,以更好地理解和表达他们的感受;这些建议包括提供宁静、安慰或分散注意力的活动,以及为自己提供私人空间。如果要提高儿童的福祉,建议在政策、实践和研究中更多地关注寄养儿童的情感经历及其应对情绪的方式。

One way in which intercountry adoptees can elaborate on their past history is through travelling to their country of birth. This article explores the memories and experiences recalled by a group of adoptees who visited their homeland after being adopted as children by Italian families. The sample comprised 34 participants aged between 12 and 40 years who visited their birth country between 2000 and 2013. In 2017–2018, they were asked to complete a questionnaire designed to obtain retrospective recall of their experiences and feelings on return to Italy, and how their ethnic identity and psychological well-being had been affected by the trip. The results revealed that the adoptees’ emotional experiences during the return visit significantly affected their feelings towards adoption itself and that it changed their sense of belonging both to Italy and the country where they were born. Most also perceived their return travel as a momentous occasion which increased their overall knowledge about their birth country and its culture. The results are significant for providing new information about how international adoptees incorporate their homeland culture into their lives.
跨国被收养者可以详细说明他们过去的历史的一种方式是通过旅行到他们的出生国。这篇文章探讨了一群被意大利家庭收养后回到祖国的被收养者的回忆和经历。样本包括34名年龄在12岁至40岁之间的参与者,他们在2000年至2013年期间访问了自己的出生国。在2017-2018年,他们被要求完成一份问卷,旨在回顾他们回到意大利的经历和感受,以及他们的种族认同和心理健康如何受到这次旅行的影响。结果显示,被收养者在回访期间的情感经历显著影响了他们对收养本身的感受,并改变了他们对意大利和他们出生的国家的归属感。大多数人还认为回国旅行是一个重要的时刻,它增加了他们对出生国及其文化的全面了解。研究结果对于提供有关国际被收养者如何将祖国文化融入生活的新信息具有重要意义。
