Child protection has changed in important ways on international level in recent years. Child protection as social institution adapts to and follows social change. Global competitions, mobilityof capital and workforce, acceleration of economic processes and interdependence of nationaleconomies, and the economic crises of 2007 has their impact on the operation and workings ofwelfare systems. This study examines the trends and tendencies in international child protection practice since the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child, what type of child protectionorientations can be distinguished, what kind of characteristics can be described and which wayseems to emerge—as a common challenge—in general in the field of the state’s child protectionactivities. The study draws attention to the importance of some topics in international discourse, such as complex needs of the clients, importance of partnerships, support of parenthood and arange of professional skills and competences to achieve these goals.
