The reality of child protection systems typically demonstrates a lack of
attention to the voices of children. There are studies that confirm this
fact and offer evidence of the benefits of participation, but gaps remain
regarding the elements and processes that favour it. This qualitative
study attempts to contribute to knowledge in this area through a detailed
analysis of the perspectives of the actors involved and the role that
children play in the return home.
This article analyses the elements involved in the participation of the
children when a return home is proposed after a period of family or residential
foster care. As part of the study, 18 semi-structured interviews
were conducted and 22 discussion groups were created with a total of
135 participants (63 child protection services workers, 42 parents and
30 children and adolescents). The data were analysed using a content
analysis process and underwent a peer reviewprocess in Atlas.ti. The results
indicate that the participation of children and adolescents in the return
home centres around (i) understanding the return home, (ii)
strategies and emotional processes and (iii) social support.
This study was developed by the investigation group GRISIJ (Research Group for Social-
Educational Interventions in Infancy and Adolescence) and financed by the Spanish Ministry of
Science and Technology (EDU2011-30144-C02-01 and EDU2014-52921-C2-1-R), the
Department of Innovation, Universidades y Empresa of the Generalitat of Cataluña
(2009SGR1392 Consolidated Projects), the University of Barcelona (ARCE) and the University of Lleida. |
