“…After the focus-group discussion, the researchers extended the BIC-Q Manual, which was based on a pedagogical Western literature review (see Kalverboer & Zijlstra, 2006; Zijlstra, 2012). In the adjusted BIC-Q Manual, descriptions were added that were applicable to the child-rearing situation in the cultural context of the Western Balkans.…”

“…First, the co-author (M.E.K.) gave a presentation about the theoretical and legal background of the BIC Model (Kalverboer & Zijlstra, 2006; Zijlstra, 2012). During the presentation, the co-author proposed how the BIC Model and BIC-Q (Kalverboer et al, 2012; Zijlstra et al, 2012; Zijlstra et al, 2013) could be applied to assess the returned children’s child-rearing environment after return to their countries of origin.…”

“…The discussion centered on the meaning and interpretation of the 14 BIC-Model child-rearing conditions in the cultural context of the Western Balkans. In preparation, the local professionals received the descriptions of the BIC-Model child-rearing conditions, as developed through a Western literature review (Kalverboer & Zijlstra, 2006; Zijlstra, 2012). For every BIC-Model condition, the professionals were asked whether the conditions were relevant with regard to child-rearing in their region and under which circumstances the professionals considered the child-rearing condition to be of “good,” “satisfactory,” “moderate,” or “unsatisfactory” quality.…”

“…In 2006, Kalverboer and Zijlstra developed a theoretical model that operationalizes the best interest of the child principle from a pedagogical perspective in terms of child development: the Best Interest of the Child Model (BIC Model; Kalverboer & Zijlstra, 2006). An international literature review into pedagogical environmental conditions for children’s development resulted in 14 child-rearing conditions in the child’s family and societal context, which determine the child’s opportunities for development.…”

“…In a European study aimed at developing a monitor for returned migrant children, 1 the BIC Model (Kalverboer & Zijlstra, 2006; Zijlstra, 2012) and the BIC-Q (Kalverboer et al, 2012; Zijlstra et al, 2012; Zijlstra et al, 2013) were introduced for assessing the quality of the living situation and opportunities for development of returned children. At the moment of conducting the study, the largest proportion of the asylum caseload in the European Union was of Western-Balkan origin (Kosovo, Serbia, Albania, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro; European Asylum Support Office [EASO], 2013, 2015).…”

This study discusses methodological considerations and cultural sensitivity issues in cross-cultural research. A multi-method approach was adoptedconsisting of a seminar, an expert's opinion, and a focus-group discussion with Western-Balkan professionals-to assess the content validity of the Best Interest of the Child Model (BIC Model) and Questionnaire (BIC-Q) in the cultural context of the Western Balkans. The cultural sensitivity of the assessment was evaluated during a field study with local interviewers, who assessed the quality of the child-rearing environment of returned migrant children (N = 66) in Kosovo and Albania. The findings indicate that specific cultural aspects influence the meaning and interpretation of child-rearing conditions, such as the importance of the extended family in child-rearing, authoritarian child-rearing practices, the within-society heterogeneity, and the stability of the state. Regarding assessment, factors affecting outcomes were identified as they related to the questionnaire as well as to the cultural perspectives of the interviewers and the regional population characteristics. The study resulted in an understanding of the child-rearing situation of returned migrant children from a local cultural perspective and avoided the imposition of Western-European standards on the assessment of "good-enough" child-rearing.

Disasters on the border of our abilities Disasters do not take into account geopolitical boundaries. Each country has its own structures and legislation to deal with. When a disaster occurs at or around national borders and cooperation is necessary, the existing structures and legislation of the countries involved must be able to reconcile. In this article, the current situation between neighboring countries Belgium and the Netherlands is discussed. The legislation and structures for disaster management per country, as well as the possible obstacles in case of cooperation are described. Several agreements have already been made at a regional, provincial and national level. A legal framework has also been created at European level to facilitate international aid. However, there are still several obstacles to overcome. The disaster management of neighboring countries does not seem to be well known to aid workers, the communication between countries is not yet optimal and international exercises are hardly carried out. Therefore, a couple of recommendations to improve international cooperation in the border areas are given.
