GABRIEL, Thomas et al. Out of home care in France and Switzerland. Psychosocial Intervention [online]. 2013, vol.22, n.3, pp.214-225. ISSN 2173-4712.  https://dx.doi.org/10.5093/in2013a25.

This article focuses on the structural similarities and dissimilarities that exist between child protection systems in France and Switzerland, as exemplified by the evolutions of the last decade. The absence of an integrated holistic system and the great diversity of practices between territories in both countries creates a reality that is a challenge for research and practitioners alike. Furthermore, legislation in France and Switzerland is quite similar in that there is no single defined support or welfare body of legislation for children and youth. In both countries, the need for a better understanding of this reality drives the development of better data collection processes and of new in-depth research on these issues.
