This document summarizes a project that aims to reform the juvenile justice system in India through participatory design. It notes high recidivism rates and issues like lack of rehabilitation and engagement of stakeholders in the current system. Through research, the project identified pain points like desensitization of staff, lack of follow up, and under-resourced homes. Their proposed solution, called the "ResQ Model", aims to reduce the need for counselors, facilitate difficult conversations, teach implicitly, and create a safe space for self-expression to rehabilitate juveniles. It also suggests opening observation homes and involving more stakeholders in decisions to reform the system centered around the children.

Missing-Children

Ashish Damle

This document summarizes information on missing children in India from the perspective of CHILDLINE India Foundation. It notes that there is no national database tracking missing children, so statistics available are fragmented and likely underestimate the true scale of the problem. An average of over 40,000 children per year are reported missing in India, of which around 11,000 remain untraced. However, many cases are never reported at all. The document explores issues around missing children and links to child trafficking. It also discusses world initiatives for tracking missing children and efforts in India to address this problem.

This document provides an overview of building a youth development system in a community. It discusses key concepts in positive youth development including focusing on competencies for adulthood and meeting developmental needs. A youth development system is defined as partnerships between organizations that plan and deliver services based on youth principles. It should include a menu of learning, work, skill development and leadership opportunities. Building a system requires convening stakeholders, creating a shared vision, assessing community resources and gaps, and developing a strategic plan with goals and roles defined. The document provides tips for system-building including leveraging partnerships and resources and starting initiatives on a small scale.

Development Futures

This document outlines a case study from Pakistan on children's citizenship. It introduces debates around traditional versus feminist views of citizenship and how children are often excluded. The study used interviews with policymakers and analysis of Pakistan's legislative framework to examine views of children as either dependent or as citizens. While Pakistan has signed the UNCRC supporting children's participation rights, the analysis found policymaker views tended to be welfarist and that children are not considered able to participate in decisions affecting them. This limits Pakistan's development progress in achieving education and anti-poverty goals for children.

Nicwa 2010 Improving Icwa Compliance

Administration for Children and Families, Children's Bureau

This document summarizes a presentation on improving compliance with the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). Research found that Native American children are disproportionately represented in foster care in California. Notifying tribes, as required by ICWA, is currently inadequate. The presentation introduces a new automated tribal notification system called Ayazuta and advocates for a community-based design approach to analyze each state's unique barriers and successes. Improving tribal notification and increasing tribal involvement can help address isolation of Native youth in care and enhance health outcomes. Participants are encouraged to support compliance efforts through advocacy and providing feedback.

HAQ: Centre for Child Rights

This document provides a summary of a study analysing 72 child sexual abuse cases handled by HAQ/CSJ in Delhi, India in 2015. It finds that while the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act has improved justice for victims, full implementation remains a challenge. Judges play a key role in enforcing POCSO provisions but delays are common. Support networks are important but greater access is needed. Other obstacles like family pressure can also derail cases. Overall, POCSO has started a more hopeful era for survivors but continued efforts are required to strengthen its implementation.

PittOCD

This document discusses building effective developmental screening services that meet the needs of programs, staff, and families. It emphasizes the importance of using data from developmental screenings to accurately identify children at risk for delays and connect them to early intervention services. The data shows that staff were under-identifying children as at-risk and had low rates of connecting identified children to services. Barriers like policies, communication, and staff confidence need to be addressed. Input from stakeholders is important to understand challenges and improve screening quality, staff competency, and family support.

It begins with several case studies of children who were trafficked, such as Reshmi who was abducted at age 13 and trafficked to a brothel. It then discusses how children from many parts of India have been victims of trafficking, sometimes to other states or countries. The document also summarizes reports of large trafficking operations that have been uncovered, such as one involving over 350 children trafficked for international adoption. It notes that while trafficking has historical roots in slavery, contemporary forms can include forced prostitution, child labor, debt bondage, and child marriage.

Guidlines for Prevention of Child Abuse

HAQ: Centre for Child Rights

Child Abuse was and continues to be, one of the most heinous crimes designed and perpetuated by human beings against some of the most vulnerable and defenceless sections of the community. It is a malaise on a society that prides itself on the rule of law, democracy and the various freedoms enshrined in the Constitution. Globally, it has been recognised and seen as a particularly burdensome challenge, and numerous instruments, 1 from the Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child of 1924 to the United Nations 2 Convention on the Rights of the Child and the The Stockholm Declaration and Agenda for 3 Action have called upon nation States to create and enhance Child Protection Systems to ensure that “in accordance with the principles proclaimed in the Charter of the United Nations, recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world”.

The document provides context on juvenile justice reforms in Nepal.

Right To Information ( R T I) In Nepal

Bal Krishna Tripathi

Right to Information (RTI) in Nepal establishes people's sovereignty and promotes transparency, accountability, and good governance. The citizens' campaign for an RTI Act in Nepal was an effective advocacy example, engaging stakeholders in a non-confrontational approach with experts and activists. The key features of Nepal's RTI include an RTI commission, provisions for information officers, time-bound responses, and financial penalties for non-compliance. However, challenges remain as some rules protect bureaucrats' interests, and there is a need to increase demand and build supply-side capacity as institutionalization is still early.

Rethinking Systems to Tackle Truancy

Fairfax County

This document discusses reforms to address truancy. It begins with background on status offenses, noting that truancy is the most common status offense. The document then discusses why truancy reform is needed, citing high detention and placement rates. It outlines Clark County, Washington's truancy reform process, which includes early interventions like workshops and probation instead of detention.

The reformed process focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying causes of truancy through case management and services.

Experiences in Engaging With Children in Developmental Processes

HAQ: Centre for Child Rights

The concept of children‟s participation has evolved over the last decade but the notion, either in theory or in practice, has not been able to make a significant dent in the collective mindset of the social and political institutions and the individuals who comprise of them. Most initiatives and interventions have arguably been confined to children‟s rights organizations and activists, and need to be appreciated and accepted by the mainstream society and the state in order to be scaled up. This is largely because of a lack of conceptual understanding and the appreciation of the value and practicability of children‟s participation.

mysociety

This document discusses the challenges social workers face with current case management systems not supporting their work with families. It notes that social workers spend 60% of their time on administrative tasks and only 20% directly working with families. The FamilyStory project aims to develop an open platform that allows social workers to spend more time collaborating with families and gives families more ownership over their case. The goals are to improve outcomes for families, enable better decision making, and reduce costs by allowing social workers to spend quality time on cases. An alpha experience is being built to demonstrate the concept.

Discussion 1 Generating Support for Evidence-Based Practices.docx

theresiarede

Discussion 1: Generating Support for Evidence-Based Practices When treating clients, social workers must ensure that the evidence-based practice is appropriate for the client and the problem. Then, the social worker must get the client and other stakeholders to support the selected evidence-based practice. To earn that support, the social worker should present the client and stakeholders with a plan for implementation and evidence of the evidence-based practice efficacy and appropriateness. Social workers must demonstrate that they have carefully considered the steps necessary to implement the evidence-based practice, identified factors in the current environment that support implementation of the evidence-based practice, and addressed those factors that may hinder the successful implementation. For this week’s Discussion, you will take on the role of the social worker in the Levy case study. You will choose an evidence-based practice and attempt to gain the support of both the client and supervisor. To do so, you will address its efficacy, appropriateness, and factors that may impact implementation of the evidence-based practice that you chose. To prepare for this Discussion, review Levy Episode 2 (TRANSCRIPT ATTACHED). Then using the registries provided in this week’s resources and the Walden Library, locate an evidence-based practice that you believe would be appropriate for Jake’s case. Then, review the Evidence-Based Practice kit for Family Psycho Education from the SAMHSA website from the resources. Note all the steps and considerations involved in implementing the evidence-based practice and which of these considerations apply to this case. Consider issues such as agency support, resources, and costs that might support or limit the application of the evidence-based intervention that you select. · Post an evaluation of the evidence-based practice that you selected for Jake. Describe the practice and the evidence supporting it. · Explain why you think this intervention is appropriate for Jake. · Then provide an explanation for the supervisor regarding issues related to implementation. · Identify two factors that you believe are necessary for successful implementation of the evidence-based practice and explain why. · Then, identify two factors that you believe may hinder implementation and explain how you might mitigate these factors.
