| Popis: |
This chapter expounds on the challenges of Japan in terms of serving children who cannot live with their biological parents due to maltreatment issues. The Child Welfare Act (1947) determines the roles of local child welfare authorities and their funding, while the Child Abuse Prevention Act (2000) codifies the definition of child abuse and establishes guidelines for early intervention and child protection and services. Additionally, the Child Guidance Centres are the frontline in child protection work with social workers at the core. The chapter also discusses institutional care and family-based care for looked after children. It mentions how Japan fronted the challenge of encouraging youth participation in policy-making. |
