That social welfare clients ought to be looked at not as given, a priori entities, but rather as categories produced in accordance with the policies, resources and options of the institutions involved is established today as a common ground for reflexive and reconstructivist perspectives in social work research. The disestablishment of the client role, however, up to now seems to have met a blind spot. This article will present findings from a conversation analytical study based on fourteen fully transcribed care planning conferences in the context of German long-term residential childcare, concentrating on five meetings explicitly designed to terminate the service provision. We will show how long-term residential care is regularly terminated by a range of interactional strategies complementary to those of client production that can be flexibly exploited in response to institutional and political context requirements. Conversation analysis is introduced as a method that can unveil t...

This article proposes to deal with probabilities and possibilities of deinstitutionalisation in South Asia and also explains the present situation of children outside parental care in South Asia region. Attention has rightly been drawn to the South Asia region due to large increases in the number of children outside parental care. These children often find themselves at a high risk of violence, exploitation, abuse and neglect and their well-being are often insufficiently monitored. The major causes of institutionalisation (poverty, education, migration, runaways, abuse and disownment) and effects of institutional care are briefly discussed in this article. This article explores the deinstitutionalisation of children in care. Numerous studies have been conducted on impact of deinstitutionalisation on children. The focuses of these studies were largely on deinstitutionalisation process. This article extends its analysis on institutionalisation to deinstitutionalisation possibilities a...
Termination Issues in Residential Placement
Irish Journal of Applied Social Studies, 2003
The termination phase of residential child care placement has a powerful effect on post placement adjustment. This article reviews relevant literature from a range of helping/caring professions and outlines implications for managing termination with children and youth in care. Major themes are: termination elicits ambivalence and can manifest as behavioural regression; intervention during the termination phase can have significant impact; and the capacity of child and youth care workers to deal with separation issues must be considered.
Children's Rights: A Cross-Border Study of Residential Care
Irish Journal of Psychology, 2006
In December 1991 the UK Government ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, thereby signalling its intention to meet the obligations on states as set out in the Convention. The Republic of Ireland did likewise in September 1992 and in both states the issue of children’s rights has increasingly become part of the discourse around child welfare. This article describes findings from a study, which used interviews and focus groups to explore the personal experiences of policy-makers, professionals and young people involved in the residential care system on both sides of the Irish border. Convention rights were looked at under three broad headings, provision of services, protection from harm and participation in decision-making (Hammarberg 1990). The value of a child-centred, “rights-based” approach to research, policy and practice in residential chid care is discussed.
