“…In some countries, even the distinction between foster and residential care is no longer so clearly marked, as residential care becomes more and more similar to foster care . Although residential care is provided by the legal entity at the service provider's location and care is provided by paid staff, the care itself is more and more family-like -the facilities are smaller, siblings stay together and more or less stable staff take care of children (Francis et al, 2007;Sindi et al, 2018). Still, foster care placements are increasingly preferred, however small or family-like the residential institutions have become.…”

This book explains and discusses how a child's right to freedom of expression is upheld through practice and decision-making in Child Protection Services (CPS).Using the right to expression as stipulated in Article 12.2 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) as a point of departure, it explains what CPS practices should look like and how they must operate to uphold and enforce the rights of the child by providing "the opportunity to be heard" in any administrative practice. Current research literature documents extensively, and across countries, how either the voice of the child is not heard or, alternatively, the existence of a pro forma/ tokenistic approach to listening to the child throughout CPS practices. Taking a three-fold approach, this book • establishes a clearer connection between rights and professional practice according to Article 12 • extrapolates how rights-based practice is achieved during CPS First published 2023 by Routledge

“…For example, whilst the principle of deinstitutionalisation has been embraced in Estonia, foster care has not been popular. This according to Sindi et al (2018) is due to the cultural emphasis on individualism and family privacy. In consequence, foster care placements decreased between 2005 and 2015.…”

“…In consequence, foster care placements decreased between 2005 and 2015. Instead, there has been a move towards an alternative model of care provision which is seen as neither institutional or familial fostering (for further information on this development see Sindi et al 2018).…”

In many countries, foster care is an established system for looking after children who cannot live with their birth families. It is accepted as a preferable form of provision when compared to institutional arrangements. Deinstitutionalisation is founded upon theories of child development, most particularly attachment theory, which suggest that children are more likely to flourish in family settings as opposed to institutions. The implementation of a foster care system accords with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the associated recommendations. But is it feasible to apply these rights and recommendations across the world? How transferable is the system of foster care? By making use of the literature, this paper draws attention to some of the challenges and complexities that accompany attempts at implementing this child care strategy in some of the world's regions.

“…Actually, this tendency is observed even nowadays. One of the latest studies conducted by Estonian scientists, designed to analyze the daily life of SOS Children's Village pupils, showed that the process of deinstitutionalization occurs gradually, which creates many challenges and difficulties in the care system of abandoned children in Estonia (Sindi, Strömpl, Toros, 2018).…”

Humanistyczna koncepcja Hermanna Gmeinera Artykuł opisuje główną ideę koncepcji pedagoga austriackiego Hermanna Gmeinera (1919-1986), jaką jest stworzenie SOS Wioski Dziecięcej jako rodzinnego modelu opieki. Przeanalizowano cztery zasady, które Gmeiner uzasadnia (matka, rodzina, dom, wioska), będące od dziesięcioleci podstawą funkcjonowania wiosek dziecięcych. Omówione zostały: istota pracy wioski dziecięcej oraz specyfika utworzenia naturalnej rodziny zastępczej o funkcjonalnej strukturze, w której dziecko uczyłoby się wartości ogólnoludzkich i narodowych, a także otrzymywało opiekę długoterminową, krótkoterminową, indywidualną, społeczno-pedagogiczną lub terapeutyczną. Autorka także poświęca uwagę zagadnieniom takim jak popularyzacja idei pedagogicznych Hermanna Gmeinera i działalności wiosek dziecięcych na całym świecie.
