“…According to the Participative and Transformative Evaluation framework underpinning P.I.P.P.I. (Serbati 2017 ; Serbati and Milani 2013 ), the LabT has 3 main goals: To reflect on and use qualitative and quantitative research data from previous implementation activities that the scientific group of the university provides through a dossier each LabT receives. To organise meetings with professionals, families, and other actors where they self-evaluate service practice, discuss and reflect on, starting from the dossier in order to define a “research question” or a relevant topic to deepen and to plan a future step of innovation within and for the district.…”

This article of the Zeitschrift für Psychodrama und Soziometrie aims to explore how Morenian sociodrama and its techniques represent valuable tools for participative research with social professionals and teachers working with children and their families in vulnerable situations. After introducing the Canon of Creativity by Moreno and its connection to art-based research, sociodrama is theoretically introduced and proposed as a research tool. This is followed by a description of an experience of participative research with a group of roughly 40 professionals within the national Italian programme P.I.P.P.I. The process of the session is described and discussed, in order to demonstrate how sociodrama can be an interesting tool for social research. The conclusion provides connections between practice and research, proposing the involvement of families in future activities, and highlighting possible future theoretical explorations in order to examine the topic in greater depth.

“…The scientific literature confirms how parents' participation faces powerful barriers in the practice of professionals, administrators and the organization of protection systems (Jackson et al, 2017;Seim & Slettebo, 2017;Serbati, 2017). According to Lacharité (2015) and Toros et al (2018), these obstacles arise mainly from cohabitation or even the clash of two different discourses.…”

Working with the families of origin of children and adolescents (CA) who are in the CA protection system is essential to achieve reunification, which is the ultimate objective when planning foster care; it is a scientific, social and professional challenge that must be included in the legislation of each country. For this, it is essential that the laws consider and regulate the participation of families in decision‐making during foster care and subsequent reunification processes. We analysed 22 laws enacted through Spanish legislation, both national and regional, that regulate the protection of children. The study focuses on analysing how the Spanish legislation contemplates the participation of parents during foster care and subsequent reunification. The Spanish legislative texts do not expressly, clearly and effectively include the participation of parents. They are limited to the punctual recognition of acts of notification and hearing and, where appropriate, of opposition to certain resolutions. Spain lacks a general legal framework that supports and guarantees the necessary participation of the family in the protection system. The focus on the recognition of the rights of CA in laws as a result of international pressure has relegated the legal protection of the rights of parents, mainly in their right to be heard.

“…As well as referring to contemporary theorists, the authors introduce current approaches and promote more creative, service-user focused approaches. An example of this is the participatory and transformative evaluation model used with parents during child protection proceedings (Serbati, 2017). The model aims to facilitate the involvement of service users and professionals.…”
