Investigando as políticas de assistência e proteção à infância : psicologia e ações do Estado

Esta tese consiste em uma investigação bibliográfica e documental sobre as políticas de assistência e proteção à infância no Brasil. Com relação a esta questão, pesquisei fios de nossa história desde o período colonial até o final da chamada Era Vargas. Inicio este percurso histórico num momento em que o abandono de crianças não era considerado um problema, e funcionavam engrenagens de proteção por proximidade; caminho até os anos de 1930, quando médicos e juristas se mobilizam no sentido de organizar a assistência e a proteção ao menor de idade, contribuindo para a criação de outros modelos de atendimento à infância, baseados na assistência social e na proteção de Estado. Neste ponto, faço uma breve análise da chegada de Getúlio Vargas ao governo e de sua permanência nele até 1945. Em seguida discuto as mudanças ocorridas na estrutura das relações entre capital e trabalho na sociedade capitalista européia, quando o social se configurou enquanto um novo domínio de saber que possibilitou a emergência dos chamados profissionais do social, apontando similaridades com o processo ocorrido no Brasil durante a Era Vargas. A análise se foca, então, nos movimentos de criação e implementação de ações específicas para tratar da criança dita desassistida durante o Estado Novo, implementadas a partir do funcionamento de dois órgãos: o Departamento Nacional da Criança (DNCr) criado em 1940 para coordenar todas as atividades relativas a proteção à maternidade, à infância e à adolescência e o Serviço de Assistência a Menores (S.A.M.) criado em 1941 para superintender todo o serviço de amparo a menores desvalidos e delinqüentes, buscando sempre identificar que noções de psicologia que se faziam aí presentes. À guisa de conclusão, compartilho descobertas, encontros e desencontros proporcionados pela realização deste trabalho.

An investigation into regional differences in educational performance in the National Child Development Study

The National Child Development Study (NCDS) is used to investigate factors which affect children's educational performance over time. Multilevel modelling techniques are used on a subset of the NCDS to investigate variation in educational performance in 11 regions in the UK, and in local education authorities within these regions. Social characteristics of the NCDS members are also analysed. Differences between regions and education authorities are found to be negligible, the main source of variation in achievement being due to differences in social background.

Identification of maltreatment type in children with disabilities using the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS)

This study was a retrospective design and used secondary data from the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS), provided by the National Data Archive on Child Abuse and Neglect Family Life Development Center administered by Cornell University. The dataset contained information for the year 2005 on children from birth to 18 years of age. Child abuse and neglect for disabled children, was evaluated in-depth in the present study. Descriptive and statistical analysis was performed using the children with and without disabilities. It was found that children with disabilities have a lower rate of substantiation that likely indicates the interference of reporting due to their handicap. The results of this research demonstrate the important need to teach professionals and laypersons alike on how to recognize and substantiate abuse among disabled children.^

This report is the sixth in a series of annual reports which use National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) data to examine changes in children’s body mass index (BMI) that have taken place since 2006/07. It explores trends in obesity, overweight, excess weight and underweight prevalence, as well as changes in mean BMI over time. Trends within different socioeconomic and ethnic groups are also examined to determine whether existing health inequalities are widening or becoming smaller.

Patterns of reporting to child protection services in Canada by healthcare and nonhealthcare professionals

Background: All Canadian jurisdictions require certain professionals to report suspected or observed child maltreatment. This study examined the types of maltreatment, level of harm and child functioning issues, controlling for family socioeconomic status, age and gender of the child reported by healthcare and non-healthcare professionals. Methods: We conducted chi-square analyses and logistic regression on a national child welfare sample from the 2003 Canadian Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect (CIS-2003) and compared the differences in professional reporting with its previous cycle (CIS-1998) using Bonferroni-corrected confidence intervals. Results: Our analysis of CIS-2003 data revealed that the majority of substantiated child maltreatment is reported to service agencies by non-healthcare professionals (57%), followed by non-professionals (33%) and healthcare professionals (10%). The number of professional reports increased 2.5 times between CIS-1998 and CIS-2003, while non-professionals’ increased 1.7 times. Of the total investigations, professional reports represented 59% in CIS-1998 and 67% in CIS-2003 (p<0.001). Compared to non-healthcare professionals, healthcare professionals more often reported younger children, children who experienced neglect and emotional maltreatment and those assessed as suffering harm and child functioning issues, but less often exposure to domestic violence. Conclusion: The results indicate that healthcare professionals played an important role in identifying children in need of protection considering harm and other child functioning issues. The authors discuss the reasons why underreporting is likely to remain an issue.
