Manifestations and preconditions of child rights protection - specialists’ aggression towards caregivers and child in the situation of child removal from the family
ENNumerous studies have focused on the issue of client aggression against various help professionals. Much less attention has been paid to the opposite phenomenon the aggression of help professionals towards clients, especially aggression of child rights protection specialists (CRPS). Comparative analysis of four perspectives (CRPS, parents, children, and police officers) was performed in order to reveal the manifestations and preconditions of CRPS aggression towards parents and children during the process of removing a child from a family. The manifestations of psychological and physical CRPS aggression were alluded to by all groups of research participants. The preconditions can be classified as being related to the behavior of the child and parents, the employee’s personality traits, competencies and psychological states related to a specific work situation, and institutional, inter-institutional, social, and political contexts. Based on our research results, suggestions can be made on how the procedure of removing a child from an unsafe family environment can be improved, such as by making it less harmful for children, more constructive for the whole family, and making the CRP system operate in such a manner that it does not create preconditions for CRPS to transgress the boundaries of professional relations. Keywords: child rights protection; child removal from the family; helping specialists’ aggression towards clients; qualitative research. [From the publication]
