Hestia contributing in “National Systems of Child Protection – Understanding the International Variability and Context for Developing Policy and Practice”
The Hestia team contributed to the book “National Systems of Child Protection – Understanding the International Variability and Context for Developing Policy and Practice”, edited by Lisa Merkel-Holguin, John D. Fluke, and Richard D. Krugman (Kempe Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Child Abuse and Neglect, Department of Pediatrics, University of Colorado School of Medicine).
The book provides a wide spectrum description analysis of the contemporary and well established child protection systems in a range of countries, such as Australia, Canada, Switzerland, Israel, and the United States. It presents a brief orientation about the public and private systems involved in protecting children in each country. Further the book identifies current key policy and implementation drivers that orient the systems of child protection, such as children’s rights, family preservation, use of evidence and public health orientation. Finally it presents a critical analysis of the strengths and limitations of the systems, as well as, strategies for prospects for improving outcomes for children and their families.
The Hestia team wrote chapters that focus on child protection policy in England, Germany, and The Netherlands and is founded on the policy analysis of the project.
