| Popis | The child protection should be evaluated within two interrelated arrays of indices: universal invariant criteria refl ecting international requirements towards children’s rights and the local peculiarities of institutional performance regarding the dependence of child protection system on the court system, local governance culture and educational system. Juxtaposing these domains we are able to provide more complete insight of child protection and its actors especially in order to recognize the shortcomings of child protection in the countries where children’s rights remain one of the most noticeable challenges. In order to develop the complex approach, this text explores child protection in three Western Europe countries with obviously different approaches towards child welfare but a compatible high level of its performance. Then this approach is applied to monitoring the current situation in Visegrad countries where despite the efforts of national governments and international bodies, residential care operates as the main strategy for providing care for looked after children, and the balance between child safety and family autonomy remains the unachievable goal. |
