Define la parentalidad positiva refiriéndose "a un comportamiento paterno fundado sobre el interés superior del niño y de la niña" y recomienda a los Estados miembros organizar sus políticas y sus programas para favorecer la puesta en marcha de acciones destinadas a contrarrestar las situaciones de las vulnerabilidades. En este contexto europeo de preocupación por la promoción de la parentalidad positiva, especialmente en las familias en situación de vulnerabilidad, nace el proyecto Erasmus + PAGE (Parental Guidance and Education 2016-2018. Ref: 2016-1-FR01-KA202-024313) que ha elaborado el compendium de instrumentos que se recoge en esta publicación. Los socios del proyecto PAGE están a favor de una noción "operacional" de la parentalidad (parenting) ya que la intención de las partes interesadas es ofrecer apoyo a la parentalidad particularmente cuando surgen necesidades, cuando las figuras parentales se encuentran en una situación de vulnerabilidad. Este consorcio de ocho socios de cinco países distintos (España, Francia, Italia, Rumania y el Reino Unido) reúne más de una cincuentena de especialistas del apoyo de la parentalidad, investigadores de universidad y profesionales del ámbito social, educativo o médico social. En los cinco países que han colaborado en este compendio, el análisis de las prácticas profesionales y los trabajos de investigación sobre los sistemas que atienden y dan soporte a la infancia y a sus padres, destacan como prioritario la vulnerabilidad de las familias y subrayan ciertos desafíos tales como: - La desfragmentación de los servicios sociales y médicos sociales, escuelas, servicios de la justicia que a menudo trabajan aisladamente, uno tras otro o hasta al mismo tiempo pero sin concertarse - La formación de los profesionales en la intervención en el medio familiar, al reconocimiento y a la valorización de los recursos educativos de las familias, que permita proponer intervenciones de calidad, orientadas sobre las fortalezas y los recursos de las figuras parentales y de los niños. En esta línea, se presenta un compendium de herramientas para profesionales para promover las buenas prácticas profesionales.

First, we provide an understanding of how maltreatment has been defined historically and how definitions have changed over time, leading to current definitions used by researchers and child welfare organizations. Maltreatment is also described within the context of trauma and sociocultural issues that are associated with it. We also provide a brief review of the consequences of various types of childhood maltreatment on biological, psychological, academic, and social functioning. Then, using mainly the World Health Organization definitions of maltreatment (i.e., neglect and negligent behavior; emotional, physical, and sexual abuse; as well as witnessing violence), we discuss forms of child victimization within the context of institutionalization, including types and factors that increase the risk of maltreatment in long-term residential institutions, and consequences on well-being.

This paper reviews the recent literature which approached mostly the problems of conceptualization and definition of the social economy, both at the national and European level. The paper also proposes an evaluation of the social economy sector in Romania in terms of its development capacity on medium-term. The paper reviews scientific contributions from Romania and abroad, reports of public or private institutions, and development policies. All these documents are used to develop a theoretical framework of the social economy and to describe the social economy as a sector of activity within the European Union and Romania, taking into consideration several criteria.

In plus, tehnica ne-a ajutat sa evaluam activitatea operatorilor de teren care au fost implicati an realizarea acestor cercetari. Ideea acestui articol a fost generata de antrebarile: Cum putem optimiza culegerea datelor in cadrul anchetelor prin chestionar? si Care ar fi modalitatile de reducere a erorilor generate de catre operatori in procesul de culegerea a datelor? Comentarii: Tehnica a fost folosita pentru realizarea unor sondaje de opinie care au anregistrat eroare de sub 1%, chiar daca estimarea initiala era de 3,5%.

Modelul presupune implicarea comunitatii in oferirea unor servicii si, in principal, transferul de competente dinspre specialiste spre familie. Obiectivele cercetarii: Cercetarea urmareste sa identifice: - modele eficiente de interventie in cadrul programului derulat in perioada 2001-2003; - modul in care pregatirea personalului a dus la dezvoltarea sistemului de Reabilitare Bazata pe Comunitate (RBC) in comuna Falciu; - modul in care proiectul s-a adaptat nevoilor locale, ale copiilor, comunitatii si autoritatilor pentru obtinerea rezultatelor dorite in integrarea sociala a copiilor; - maniera in care s-a dezvoltat parteneriatul intre organizatie si autoritati.

The adoption service is complex. It involves a sequence of stages, strategies and procedures that need to be followed according to certain criteria that would ensure the offer of quality social services. The practice of case management in the public sector is different from one county to other because the interpretations are very different. The scope of the study is to identify these practices and to promote new ideas to improve the quality of services in child protection field.

This relationship formed between Hagar and Sarrai, created conflicts that exist to this day. This article was written as part of the doctoral thesis, and aims to present the nature of the relationship that exists between the Israeli intended mothers and the Israeli surrogates, the intended mothers who have chosen to apply for surrogacy outside the country’s borders, and examine the relationship between the surrogates who were all Israelis to the Israeli intend mothers. The subject was explored in sociological aspects, according to Symbolic interaction Theory, which is a sociological theory that was presented to the American sociology by George Herbert Mead at the 1920s. The method that was approach is the qualitative method. The present study comprised of 70 women residing in Israel. The women’s ages ranged between 22 and...
