Abstract

Decades of research have highlighted the challenges facing child protection services in a developmental approach. The aim of the article is to explore whether the developmental social welfare approach contributes to an improvement of child protection services. A descriptive case study design was applied in the Eastern Cape province, South Africa. The findings revealed limited knowledge among social work practitioners about the implementation of the developmental social welfare approach. The findings also revealed an overwhelmed child protection system that lacks coordinated and integrated services. It is recommended that child protection services be divided into prevention, early intervention and statutory services. Keywords: vulnerable children, Children’s Act of 2005, child protection social workers, developmental social welfare approach, statutory social work
儿童保护服务的发展性社会福利方法是否有效?南非东开普省儿童、家庭和社会工作者的声音
几十年的研究强调了儿童保护服务在发展方法中面临的挑战。本文的目的是探讨发展性社会福利方法是否有助于改善儿童保护服务。描述性案例研究设计应用于南非东开普省。调查结果显示,社会工作从业人员对发展性社会福利方法的实施了解有限。调查结果还显示,儿童保护系统不堪重负,缺乏协调和综合服务。建议将儿童保护服务分为预防、早期干预和法定服务。关键词:弱势儿童,《2005年儿童法》,儿童保护社工,发展性社会福利途径,法定社会工作
