“…Meanwhile, words such as -keluarga‖, -orangtua‖, -ayah‖, -asuh‖ appear in several clusters, indicating that, in some documents, there are pieces of information about the background of the children's family. According to [27], family engagement is an influential factor for the success of children's social welfare practices. So, information relating to family conditions are really helpful.…”

Children are the future of the nation. All treatment and learning they get would affect their future. Nowadays, there are various kinds of social problems related to children. To ensure the right solution to their problem, social workers usually refer to the social-child-case (SCC) documents to find similar cases in the past and adapting the solution of the cases. Nevertheless, to read a bunch of documents to find similar cases is a tedious task and needs much time. Hence, this work aims to categorize those documents into several groups according to the case type. We use topic modeling with Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) approach to extract topics from the documents and classify them based on their similarities. The Coherence Score and Perplexity graph are used in determining the best model. The result obtains a model with 5 topics that match the targeted case types. The result supports the process of reusing knowledge about SCC handling that ease the finding of documents with similar cases

“…Latin American authors tend to frame participation as both relational and intergenerational collective forms of action (Albornoz et al., 2015; Voltarelli, 2018). Numerous studies published in Spanish, Portuguese and English framed children's relationships with adults as crucial (Damiani‐Taraba et al., 2018; Fylkesnes et al., 2018; Goh & Baruch, 2018; Husby et al., 2018; Inchaurrondo et al., 2018; Sanders & Mace, 2006; Seim & Slettebø, 2017; Toros et al., 2018; Voltarelli, 2018). However, these relationships are hindered by children's lack of power in relation to adults (Bennouna et al., 2017; Husby et al., 2018; Lay‐Lisboa & Montañés, 2018; Sancho & Cáceres, 2017) and positioning as outsiders (Alfandari, 2017; Pert et al., 2017).…”

Fostering global dialogue: Conceptualisations of children's rights to participation and protection

The children's rights and child protection sectors are at a critical juncture: will they evolve to reflect and respond to changing conceptualisations in the 21st century or will they continue to reproduce 19th‐ and 20th‐century preoccupations with saving child victims? Informed by systematic reviews of the English‐ and Latin American academic literature in Spanish and Portuguese and key informant interviews with international stakeholders, this paper fosters global dialogue with some Global South and Global North perspectives about the interconnections of children's rights. It explores current conceptualisations of child participation and protection, and concludes that children's rights will only progress after recognition of limitations inherent to current conceptualisations.

“…In accordance with Burnham (2005) and Daniel (2012), clients need to feel that professionals are sensitive to their responses and that there is some freedom to engage in ways that make sense to them in terms of family and cultural values, scripts, style, myths, and so on. Empowerment and participation are key principles of child protection (Arbeiter & Toros, 2017;Fuller & Zhang, 2017;Jackson et al, 2020;Lehtme & Toros, 2020;Platt, 2012;Toros et al, 2018).…”

This position paper offers a pedagogical frame to empower professional work in residential child care. Jobs in this demanding field are characterized by daily relationships with children of different ages, needs, and cultural backgrounds. There is a need for effective communication and interaction with them, their families, co-workers, other professionals, and care agencies, as well as with the larger community. This complexity brings uncertainty and the necessity of thinking and acting in a sensitive way in order to open possibilities for systemic transformation at the micro, meso, and macro levels. In this framework, we focus on reflexivity as a meta-competence — a set of specific postures, competences, and attitudes that characterize expert professional action. A thorough literature review on reflexivity in social work and child protection is aimed at clarifying the meanings, uses, and features of this concept. We claim that systemic reflexivity can be used as a framework, a methodology, and a set of tools to empower professional work by enhancing emotional, cognitive, and epistemic self-awareness, systemic wisdom, abduction, and active listening. To help workers and teams develop these five competences, a self-directed learning module is currently being designed, based on systemic and narrative perspectives, and transformative learning theory.
