Resumen

FERNANDEZ, Elizabeth  y  ATWOOL, Nicola. Child protection and out of home care: policy, practice, and research connections Australia and New Zealand. Psychosocial Intervention [online]. 2013, vol.22, n.3, pp.175-184. ISSN 2173-4712.  https://dx.doi.org/10.5093/in2013a21.

This article provides an outline of the early development of care and protection in Australia and New Zealand as a backdrop to an overview of child protection systems and policies and the current child protection profile in both countries. Key issues that have become the focus of policy reform are canvassed and legislative and policy initiatives to promote child safety as well as strengthen families are elaborated. An overview of trends in relation to out of home care, including routes into care, care arrangements and permanency policies is provided. The article profiles selected research studies from Australia focusing on outcomes of care: stability of care, mental health and educational outcomes of looked after children, abuse in care, and routes out of care through reunification and aging out. Other issues treated are the overrepresentation of indigenous children in care systems in both countries and the challenges of maintaining cultural connections. The article concludes with a brief comparative analysis identifying similarities and differences in child welfare systems in both countries.

Palabras clave : Child protection; Out of home care; Outcomes of care; Reunification; Leaving care; Indigenous overrepresentation.
