Download or read book Leaving Care and the Transition to Adulthood written by Varda R. Mann-Feder and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-25 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transition to adulthood is a longer and more complex process than it was just a few decades ago, and a growing number of youth and young adults experience significant challenges in the establishment of an autonomous and independent lifestyle when compared to previous generations. Successful high school graduation followed by employment is no longer the inevitable trajectory for young people, especially in the current socio-economic context where jobs are less accessible and more demanding in terms of specialized skills and higher academic qualifications. Unable to rely on family for emotional and financial support, vulnerable youth, who grow up in substitute care, are especially effected by the lengthening of this transition to adulthood. The dismal outcomes for youth growing up in care are by now well-documented, and more recently, a range of models have been proposed to help advance our understanding of these outcomes and how to forestall them. However, the literature on leaving care has long suffered from the absence of theory that could guide meaningful intervention. In response to this gap, Leaving Care and the Transition to Adulthood offers a comprehensive overview of the newest contributions to this area in relation to theory, in addition to the Theory of Emerging Adulthood, while also featuring cutting-edge research and best practices that support adjustment across a range of domains for this population. International in scope, this book focuses on bringing together major advances that span the literature on transitioning to adulthood within the care system, offering a unique and important contribution to the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tasmanian Government has established the Out of Home Care Foundations project to improve the quality of out of home care services, in response to the Commissioner for Children and Young People's 2017 report. One component of the project is the development of a new model of family based care to improve how carers are recruited, assessed, trained, and supported. This discussion paper considers approaches to family-based foster and kinship care and invites feedback from the public. Sections include: context and conceptual framework; program design of family based care; recruitment and registration of carers; pre-service training; carer assessment; approval of carers; registration of carers; placement; ongoing training; ongoing support and retention; respite care; and oversight and monitoring. The paper draws on themes from the research literature and commissioned reports, as well as insights from from preliminary consultation sessions held in 2017 with carers, young people, agency staff, and service providers. This project sits within 'Strong Families, Safe Kids' - Tasmania's broader reform agenda to redesign child safety services.

This book was released on 2015-03-20 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child has inspired advocates and policy makers across the globe, injecting children's rights terminology into various public and private arenas. Children's right to participate in decision-making processes affecting their lives is the acme of the Convention and its central contribution to the children's rights discourse. At the same time the participation right presents enormous challenges in its implementation. Laws, regulations and mechanisms addressing children's right to participate in decision-making processes affecting their lives have been established in many jurisdictions across the globe. Yet these worldwide developments have only rarely been accompanied with empirical investigations. The effectiveness of various policies in achieving meaningful participation for children of different ages, cultures and circumstances have remained largely unproven empirically. Therefore, with the growing awareness of the importance of evidence-based policies, it becomes clear that without empirical investigations on the implementation of children's right to participation it is difficult to promote their effective inclusion in decision making. This book provides a much-needed, first broad portrayal of how child participation is implemented in practice today. Bringing together 19 chapters written by prominent authors from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, and Israel, the book includes descriptions of programs that engage children and youth in decision-making processes, as well as insightful findings regarding what children, their families, and professionals think about these programs. Beyond their contribution to the empirical evidence on ways children engage in decision-making processes, the volume's chapters contribute to the theoretical development of the meaning of "participation," "citizenship," "inclusiveness," and "relational rights" in regards to children and youth. There is no matching to the book's scope both in terms of its breadth of subjects and the diversity of jurisdictions it covers. The book's chapters include experiences of child participation in special education, child protection, juvenile justice, restorative justice, family disputes, research, and policy making.
Download or read book Promoting Resilience in Child Welfare written by Robert J. Flynn and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2005-09-14 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost twenty years ago, conceptual work began in the United Kingdom on what was to become the international Looking After Children initiative. Looking After Children has had a profound influence on child welfare in Canada and some fifteen other countries, including the UK, Australia, Sweden, and Hungary. It has sharpened the developmental focus and improved the quality of services for children and adolescents who, because of abuse, neglect, extreme poverty, or other circumstances, live in out-of-home care. With its emphasis on high expectations, positive substitute parenting, and good short-term and long-term outcomes, Looking After Children has been an important vehicle for promoting resilience in child welfare, one that will remain a beneficial influence in Canada and internationally for many years to come.

Download or read book Australia s Children s Courts Today and Tomorrow written by Rosemary Sheehan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-05 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Children’s Court is one of society’s most important social institutions. At the same time, it is steeped in controversy. This is in large measure due to the persistence and complexity of the problems with which it deals, namely, juvenile crime and child abuse and neglect. Despite the importance of the Children’s Court as a means of holding young people accountable for their anti-social behaviour and parents for the care of their children, it has not been the subject of close study. Certainly it has not been previously studied nationally. This book, an edited collection, is based on the findings of study that spanned the six States and two Territories of Australia. The study sought to examine the current challenges faced by the Children’s Court and to identify desirable and feasible directions for reform in each State and Territory. A further unique feature of this study is that it canvassed the views of judges and magistrates who preside over this court.

Download or read book Review of Best Practice in Residential Out of Home Care written by Robyn Seth-Purdie and published by . This book was released on 1919-09-06 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This review commences by examining the incidence of child maltreatment in Australian States and Territories and internationally. It considers research on the major risk factors that increase the likelihood of child abuse and neglect and considers how these factors can occur within both major child protection systems - the informal, customary system, centred around children and families within a network of community support, and the formal, statutory child protection system, particularly as it places children in out of home care, distancing them from their families and other networks of support. Removal from family, even one that has been abusive or neglectful, is traumatic, particularly for Indigenous children whose out of home placements may isolate them from meaningful connections with culture. The characteristics and special needs of children and young people in out of home care show a high incidence of trauma, mental illness and challenging behaviour. The most complex needs are found in children in residential out of home care, who often have a history of multiple failed placements. The poor reputation of residential care in English speaking countries reflects both the systemic problem of failing to intervene sufficiently early to support families who struggle to meet the needs of their children and keep them safe, and the difficulty of providing a therapeutic, trauma-informed care environment in which highly traumatised children can have their developmental needs assessed and have access to individually tailored programs of professional support to meet those needs. The review identifies 12 principles for best practice in the provision of residential out of home care, but strongly emphasises the need to act on our knowledge about preventing child maltreatment and placement into out of home care by strengthening the informal system of care and protection.
