Child Protection Policy

Ukraine’s independence in 1991 made the democratic transformations began, aimed to form the civil society, the development of a rule of law, within, according to the Constitution, a person, his life and health, honor, dignity, integrity and other rights and freedoms are recognized as the highest social value. This, in turn, defines the content and focus of the activities of the state and all its bodies in securing these conquests of world civilization as one of the main responsibilities. It is not enough to declare them at the constitutional and legislative levels for the realization of fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual and the citizen. They must be fully secured through legal and social measures and their existence. Among the various measures for the realization of human and citizen’s rights and freedoms, the Institute of International Protection of the Rights of the Child occupies a special place, as a set of international legal norms governing the international policy and cooperation of the states for the protection and protection of the rights of the child. As part of the international protection of human rights and freedoms, the child protection policy is of paramount importance. It is the area that should take priority in the international political arena. The protection of the rights of the child is also important as a guarantee of the existence, implementation, and protection of the Constitution of Ukraine. The primary purpose of protection is the legally foreseen ability of the child to use compulsory actions to enforce his or her legal obligation to enforce the obliged person’s behavior in order to protect his or her right. The urgency of gender is essential to accelerate the creation of an effective legal mechanism for the protection of the rights of the child. In addition, the existence of a real «legal protection» of the child as a whole, as well as of the state’s responsibility to the child, is the factor that asserts in the human consciousness the idea of justice, the expediency of the existing state power, thereby ensuring its legitimacy. Formation of civil society and the integration of this country into the European community are impossible without a well-grounded state policy for the protection of the rights of the child. Therefore, the development of international cooperation in this field is especially relevant to Ukraine, since overcoming child neglect and homelessness, adopting children, preventing their involvement in the sex industry can only be ensured in close cooperation with other countries and using their experience.

The Law

AbstractIn 1998 Ghana harmonised its child care legislation to conform to the Convention on the Rights of the Child by enacting the Children's Act 1998, Act 560. Some stakeholders expressed misgivings at its capacity to ensure child protection, but little literature exists on the views of professionals working within the law. This paper presents an investigation of the views of professionals who are mandated to work within the law to ensure the rights of the child to legal protection in Ghana. The findings suggest that there is a gap between legal intent and practice. It is concluded from these findings that for better child protection, the provision of legal rights for children is only an initial step; the administrative framework including better professional training, adequate resources for social care agencies and the establishment of new structures also needs to be reconsidered.

Child Protection Policy

In every institution in the country, there are countless stories of children being bullied, abused, or maltreated. This can happen inside a school or outside its premises. A child protection policy is a must to protect these children. This study assesses the child protection policy awareness of teachers and the responsiveness of the schools. It also wanted to know the relationship and program implications. The researchers used a descriptive-correlation research design with the survey as the primary data-gathering tool. 146 teachers from seven different schools in a city in Bulacan, Philippines took part in the survey. The study also adopted an instrument from Macatimpag (2018). To analyze the data, the proponents used mean, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson-r. The results showed that teachers were aware of the Child Protection Policy program of the Department of Education. However, the responsiveness of the schools is not very high. There were significant differences in the results observed in the awareness of teachers and the responsiveness of the schools. In addition, there is a moderate relationship between the awareness of teachers in the Child Protection policy with the responsiveness of the school about the program. Based on the aforementioned findings of the study,the researchers have provided some implications of the study for future references.

Rights Of The Child

The criminal act against children is a gross violation of human rights. The criminal act committed by the offenderis intolerable because it can affect their survival as well as growth and development. Therefore, the victim deserves legal protection. Restitution is one of forms of protection and fulfillment of the rights of the child to compensate any damages. So far, child victim of criminal act suffers not only material loss (countable) but also immaterial loss (uncountable) such as shame, loss of self-esteem, depression and/or traumatic anxiety.It is the fact that so far the rights of child victims to restitution are very often violated. Therefore, the child victim and his or her family feel that they do not given justice. It is hoped Government Regulation Number 43 Year 2017 will be able to give legal certainty to the victim to ensure that he or she can enjoy his or her rights to restitution for any loss he or she suffers as stipulated in Law Number 35 Year 2014 on the Revision of Law Number 23 Year 2002 on Child Protection. This research uses theory of justice as grand theory, law enforcement as middle range theory and theory of victimology as applied theory.

Child Protection Policy

This chapter demonstrates how concerns about avoiding errors and mistakes have been at the centre of child protection policy and practice in the US for many years. In particular the chapter focuses on providing a summary of the state of the art relating to risk assessment tools and predictive analytics as strategies to reduce error in child welfare decision making. It also examines whether our understanding of ‘error’ needs to shift to account for the unknowns. When social workers make decisions based upon fundamental principles, and when they determine that it is in the interests of a child to privilege one principle over another, the result may appear in hindsight as an “error”, but when made as a decision guided by one widely-held principle which was in direct conflict with another. Examining child welfare decision making as a process of selecting and then privileging one principle over another narrows what we might otherwise think of as an ‘error’ and instead recasts some decisions as exceedingly difficult to get ‘right’.
