Despite huge gains in child well-being during the Millennium Development Goals era, progress for adolescents – children in the second decade of life – is still lagging behind. "The Handbook of Adolescent Development Research and its Impact on Global Policy" aims to fill critical evidence gaps to speed evolution of better policy-making specifically tuned to this dynamic life stage. This SlideShare gives an overview of the book, which is co-edited by Prerna Banati (UNICEF Innocenti) and Jennifer E Lansford (Duke University).
The book is available to pre-order now here: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/handbook-of-adolescent-development-research-and-its-impact-on-global-policy-9780190847128?cc=it&lang=en&
This document discusses child sensitive social protection. It begins by providing context on global poverty levels and demographics in sub-Saharan Africa. It then defines social protection according to various organizations and provides examples of social protection instruments targeted at different life stages. The document discusses how social protection correlates to the Sustainable Development Goals and reviews intended and unintended impacts of programs in India, Ethiopia, and Peru. It concludes by defining child sensitive social protection as policies and programs that address children's specific vulnerabilities and poverty patterns while maximizing positive impacts on children.

Evidence shows that cash transfers promote economic empowerment, while decreasing poverty and food insecurity. However, there is little evidence on household poverty reduction and linkages to violence against children from Tanzania.
Lusajo Kajula presented the findings of her impact evaluations of Tanzania's Productive Social Safety Net on violence against children at INSPIRE in August 2018.
Social protection programs aim to achieve multiple goals such as increasing school attendance, improving health status, and encouraging higher risk economic choices. They seek to increase households' ability to manage risk and contribute to economic growth. Common types of programs include social insurance, social assistance, and labor-based interventions. Many countries are increasingly adopting conditional cash transfer programs that provide assistance to poor families contingent on children's school attendance and healthcare visits. Effective social protection programs require adequate administrative capacity and coordination between implementing organizations.
The document discusses social protection approaches for children and adolescents. It outlines UNICEF's focus on using social protection systems to promote children's rights and equitable outcomes. Social protection can be protective, preventive, or transformative. The document then reviews evidence that social cash transfers can positively impact education and child labor outcomes, as well as safe transitions to adulthood by delaying marriage and childbearing. However, impacts vary by context and gender. The document calls for mainstreaming an adolescent lens into social protection programming to better address their needs through program design, features, and indicators.

Putting Children First: Identifying solutions and taking action to tackle poverty and inequality in Africa.
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 23-25 October 2017
This three-day international conference aimed to engage policy makers, practitioners and researchers in identifying solutions for fighting child poverty and inequality in Africa, and in inspiring action towards change. The conference offered a platform for bridging divides across sectors, disciplines and policy, practice and research.
As the UNICEF Office of Research-Innocenti, we conduct research to inform policymaking and implementation. This project brief summarizes our research activities on Child Poverty.
The document calls for governments in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia to end the practice of placing children under three years of age, including those with disabilities, in institutional care. It cites extensive evidence that institutionalization has severe negative impacts on child development, especially for very young children. It urges governments to prioritize family-based care and community services instead of institutionalization as the default placement for vulnerable children. The document outlines specific legislative, budgetary, capacity-building and partnership measures that governments should implement to reform child welfare systems and protect the rights and well-being of children.
Tia Palermo discusses the benefits of a lifecycle approach to social protection. Such an approach intervenes at the most relevant stages of life to change trajectories and prevent decline. It recognizes that vulnerabilities change as people age, with adolescence providing a second window of opportunity after early childhood. A lifecycle approach leads to a more accurate understanding of long-term impacts and cost-effectiveness of social programs. Evidence from conditional cash transfer programs in Latin America show they can increase educational and labor market outcomes, though results vary between countries and genders.
The document discusses child abuse and children's rights. It defines various forms of child abuse, including physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect. It provides definitions of child abuse from different organizations and discusses risk factors. It also outlines children's rights such as access to education, health services, and protection from exploitation. The document emphasizes the importance of protecting children's rights and welfare.
Effective solutions to end violence against children will require researchers, practitioners, and leaders to come together to take stock of what we know, bridge gaps across the field, and influence change through the use and generation of VAC evidence.
This webinar aimed to share evidence and foster discussion on intersections between violence against women and violence against children, highlighting opportunities for greater collaboration, to build knowledge, and to translate it into policy and programmes.

Evidence suggests that developing specific core capacities from childhood can support performance in school, work, and life.
These nine “core capacities” are cornerstones of life skills. We often overlook these capacities as innate basic skills, so they are underutilized in efforts to promote child well-being and development.
But by nurturing, expanding, and modelling these capacities, children can better understand and interact with the world around them, and realise their unique potential.

The document discusses the increasing focus in UK policy on early childhood development and parenting interventions. It outlines how New Labour and the Coalition government have promoted the idea that parenting skills can be taught and that certain parenting styles are evidence-based. Major reviews on early intervention recommended universal parenting programs, early education from birth, and regular assessments of preschoolers' social-emotional skills. Resulting policies aim to support maternal and child health, help parents through parenting programs, and expand early education and childcare.

This paper is a multi-county, multi-dimensional rigorous analysis of immensely critical and continuously expanding socio-economic crisis that has engulfed many developing countries which calls for immediate action to preserve our present and future. This paper is an embodiment of a study of all factors that are seriously
responsible for promoting child labor in most of the less-developed, low-income, emerging, middle-income countries. Based on empirical data, and other research articles, this paper investigates the problem from political, social and economic, and cultural aspects. This paper identifies the roots of the crisis and attempts to bridge the existing gap between policy and implementation so as to make theworld child labor free.
The document discusses key themes from child deaths including social worker blame, family issues, and missed opportunities. It also covers legislation related to children's services, safeguarding, and multi-agency working including the 1989 Children Act, 2004 Children Act, and Working Together 2006. Assessment is discussed as an essential tool for identifying needs, facilitating information sharing, and focusing specialist resources.

The document discusses early intervention and its importance. It notes that failing to intervene early costs taxpayers significantly through issues like youth unemployment, children in care, and crime. Early intervention programs can address problems early through support for children and families, saving substantial costs compared to dealing with later issues. The Early Intervention Foundation advocates for assessing and advising on evidence-based early intervention programs in order to improve outcomes and reduce costs for public services and society.

The International NGO Council on Violence Against Children has launched it latest report, "Creating a non-violent juvenile justice system". This report is a follow-up to the 2006 UN Study on Violence against Children. This report has been written to address the growing epidemic and global magnitude of the violence being experienced by children in juvenile justice systems. Whilst aspiring to clarify the many ways in which governments are failing to protect children in conflict with the law, the report also presents a non-violence vision of juvenile justice.

This document provides an overview of a systematic review examining the effects of social protection programs on early childhood care and development (ECCD) outcomes in low- and middle-income countries. It begins with background on social protection programs, which aim to reduce poverty and vulnerability through various approaches. Early childhood care and development is also discussed, and its importance in building human capital and alleviating poverty. The systematic review methodology is then described, including search terms, study screening criteria, and analysis of results. Twenty studies were included that evaluated a range of social protection programs across different locations and outcomes related to child health, education and development. The implications suggest social protection programs should explicitly target and evaluate ECCD outcomes in order to understand how to effectively

Big data analytics and predictive risk modelling in social work.husITa
Predictive risk modelling is being developed in New Zealand to identify children at high risk of maltreatment and provide preventative services. However, the accuracy of predictions from models tested so far has been too low for use as a sole mechanism. The main predictors identified have been a caregiver's history of welfare benefits, single parenthood status, and their own history of maltreatment or other children's maltreatment reports. However, these predictors are strongly associated with poverty and may serve to identify many poor families rather than justify child welfare intervention. Improving data quality and developing new datasets specifically for modelling may help increase predictive ability in the future.
The document summarizes research conducted by Speakers for Schools and YouGov on young people's experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic and their hopes and needs as restrictions are lifted. Key findings from surveys of over 2,000 young people, 100 MPs, and 100 business leaders are presented. Interviews with 13 young people provide direct quotes about the disruption to their education during lockdowns, varying levels of support received from schools, and the impact on their mental wellbeing. Recommendations call for targeted support of disadvantaged youth, improved work experience opportunities, prioritizing wellbeing, and establishing a shared understanding of the support young people need.
The document discusses the role and mandate of the Child and Youth Advocate in New Brunswick. It outlines that the Advocate defends children's rights, ensures their voices are heard, and advocates for both individual children and systemic reforms. The Advocate convenes case conferences, investigates complaints, educates the public, and provides advice on laws and policies affecting children and youth. The Advocate aims to move service providers from a needs-based to a rights-based approach centered on children's equal worth and dignity.

National Ugly Mugs (NUM) is an organization that collects reports of violence against sex workers and circulates anonymous alerts to warn others. NUM's services are important because sex workers often face stigma and negative treatment by police that discourages reporting crimes. NUM helps bring perpetrators to justice while supporting victim's choice to report or not. It also identifies health issues, like linking an assault to an offender with tuberculosis, allowing for quick treatment. NUM has helped convict many violent criminals and refers sex workers to health and social services, but continued funding is needed to sustain this vital work.
Dr Teela Sanders - Introduction and OverviewCare Connect
The document summarizes a knowledge sharing event hosted by the Yorkshire Sex Work Academic Consortium and Genesis, a sex work support organization. The event aimed to (1) establish a research partnership between academics and Genesis to study sex work in Yorkshire, (2) create collaborative initiatives between universities and sex work projects, and (3) disseminate findings to policymakers to further understanding of sex work and inform practice. The document also provides background on Genesis' mission to support women in sex work and commitment to evidence-based practices.
The Recovery Fund was set up to promote visible recovery from substance abuse and mental health issues in Leeds. Emily Turner from Genesis received a small grant to produce 300 copies of a booklet called "No Longer Invisible" telling the stories of 10 women's journeys to recovery from substance abuse and mental health issues. The booklet aims to show others that recovery is possible and to inspire future participatory arts projects led by service users. It discusses themes like having a voice, misconceptions, the link between sex work and drug use, exploitation, assault against sex workers, and experiences of recovery, domestic violence, and time in foster care.
This document discusses migrant sex workers in the UK. It defines migrant sex workers and explains that they can fall into legal, irregular, or illegal categories depending on their immigration status. It provides a brief history of migrant sex workers in the UK over the past 30 years and how their nationalities have changed. It then discusses some of the challenges migrant sex workers face, such as lack of local knowledge, isolation from family, increased health risks, and language barriers. Finally, it highlights key challenges in service delivery for this group, including their transience, increased legislation targeting the sex industry, and effects of discrimination.
The document discusses best practices for supporting male sex workers based on the experience of the SWISH project in London. It outlines national reporting data on sex workers through the National Ugly Mugs program. It also discusses the diversity of male sex work, common support needs, outreach approaches, issues with chemsex, the process of exiting sex work, confronting stigma, and resources for sex workers.

This document discusses the high rates of victimization experienced by people with psychosocial disabilities (PSD) and barriers they face in the criminal justice system. Surveys found 71% of people with mental distress were victimized in the past two years. Victims with PSD experience additional vulnerabilities like homelessness and are less likely to have their cases taken seriously or referred for prosecution due to perceived credibility issues. Police are more likely to note doubts about the credibility of rape complainants with recorded mental health conditions compared to those without. Further research is needed to understand how PSD impacts case attrition given current gaps in evidence.

Workshop E Work-care reconciliation in different welfare systems - Nordic SatesCare Connect
In Finland, family care and support for family caregivers of older people has received increasing political and public attention in recent years. While generous social services are available for all, caregivers still have few legal rights and protections in the workplace. Common coping strategies for working caregivers include using home care services, reducing work hours, or early retirement. Efforts have recently been made to improve caregiver support, such as increasing funding for caregiver services and providing temporary caregiver leave through new legislation. However, more remains to be done to recognize family caregiving as a work-life issue and ensure caregivers do not bear an undue burden.

The document discusses partner-caregiving (caring for an ill or disabled spouse/partner) in Nordic countries, Japan, and Taiwan. In the Nordic countries (Finland and Sweden), partner-caregivers face a lack of attention, flexibility at work, and variations in local support services. They highly value work but expect formal assistance. Finnish partner-caregivers reported fewer financial challenges than Swedes. In Japan and Taiwan, partner-caregiving responsibilities primarily fall on families with limited public support. Both countries are developing long-term care systems to address aging populations but still rely mainly on family caregiving.

Workshop B Prof.Bettina Cass Challenges of Work-Care Reconciliation for Carers Care Connect
This document summarizes a presentation about policies that aim to facilitate work-care reconciliation for carers of older people in Australia and England. It discusses how both countries rely heavily on unpaid family caregiving due to policies emphasizing aging in place. While legislative reforms have improved carers' rights to flexible work arrangements, many carers remain unaware of these rights or lack access to sufficient respite services needed to participate fully in the labor force. The document concludes that more comprehensive, accessible, and universal services are still required if countries want to better support carers in balancing work and care responsibilities.

Causes Supporting Charity for Elderly PeopleSERUDS INDIA
Around 52% of the elder populations in India are living in poverty and poor health problems. In this technological world, they became very backward without having any knowledge about technology. So they’re dependent on working hard for their daily earnings, they’re physically very weak. Thus charity organizations are made to help and raise them and also to give them hope to live.

Understandign the Impact of policy Prof.Nick Frost,
1. The impact of policy: a National
Perspective
Nick Frost,
Professor of Social Work
(Childhood, children & families)
Leeds Metropolitan University
n.frost@leedsmet.ac.uk
2. Aims of the paper
To address ‘child welfare’ policy in
relationship to vulnerable children
Pitch between ‘macro’ level (welfare policy)&
between ‘micro’ level (i.e. safeguarding
policy)
Explore policy models for working with
vulnerable children and young people
3. Vulnerability
A complex and contested concept
‘Universal’ & ‘targeted’ approaches
Children as ‘active agents’ and ‘passive
victims’
Children in need & children in need of
protection
Children, young people & participation
5. Re-modeling childhood
New Labour and childhood:
Social investment in cash benefits and services
Workforce re-modeling
Integrated and holistic approaches
Regulation, targets and inspections – the ‘audit society’ /
‘strong state’ culture
Progressive universalism
leading to a new form of childhood shaped by the five outcomes.
6. The Coalition – policy shifts
Re-naming of DCSF to Department for Education
Bonfire of quangos – CWDC , GSCC, NSDU……
Abolition of – Child Trust Fund, Contact Point……
Restrictions to local authority expenditure
Reforms to health and education: fragmentation
Adoption reform
‘Troubled families’ / social investment bonds
Changes to Serious Case Reviews
De-regulation of Children's Trusts and Children's Plans
The four reviews – Allen, Field, Tickell and Munro
Early intervention
7. Theoretical perspectives
New Labour attempted to re-construct childhood through a
strong State-led, social investment programme which operated
through a regime of regulation, targets and inspection.
The Coalition attempts to limit the State’s role in childhood
through de-regulation, localisation and withdrawal of social
investment leading to a more private and individualised
experience of childhood, except where more authoritarian
interventions are seen as necessary.
8. Two models of childhood
The New Labour child experiences more –
regulation: assessment and measurement:
social investment: holistic approaches:
professional involvement: planned and
strategic approaches.
9. Two models of childhood
The Coalition child experiences -
less regulation: and less social investment:
is the ‘educated’ child rather than the ‘holistic’
child: a more ‘privatised’ and less ‘public’
existence: more localised variation: with
authoritarian interventions for ‘vulnerable’
children & young people
10. New Labour ‘progressive
universalism’
Those children and young people who need
it should receive additional support to
address the persistent gap in outcomes
between the lowest and highest socio-economic
groups. This means offering a
continuum of support according to need with
greater personalisation of services to meet
every child’s and family’s requirements
(DfES, 2007a: 5) Aiming High for Disabled Children
11. Coalition targeted services
Children and Families Bill (3rd reading)
Adoption
Family proceedings
Child care / parental leave
Education, Health and Care plans
12. A coherent narrative?
‘all children....should have the opportunity to
realise their potential and to succeed’
‘we have a fundamental responsibility as a
Government to look our for the most
vulnerable children and to not only protect
their welfare but safeguard their interests and
their future’ [Edward Timpson, HC Hansard,
25 /2/2-13, col 45]
13. The UNICEF judgement
Report Card 7 (2007)
United Kingdom 21st from 21 rich countries
[18th on material well-being dimension]
Report Card 11 (2013)
United Kingdom 16th from 29 rich countries
[14th on material well-being dimension]
14. The adoption example- social
authoritarianism in action
The misuse of social statistics
Fast track adoptions- financial and
transparency tools
‘A rush to permanence’: adoption breakdown
An attack on birth parents?
Ethnicity and culture
15. CSE example- multi-disciplinarity
in action
A programme of action around perceptions of
vulnerability
From ‘child prostitution’ to ‘child sexual
exploitation’ (CSE)
Multi-disciplinarity as central
Addressing a social problem
16. Rhetoric and reality?
Progressive policies – Health and Well-being
Boards, elements of Munro, CSE
Regressive policies- child poverty, adoption,
ethnicity and culture
Working with not doing to ‘vulnerable’
children and young people
