Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Child welfare is an important policy field, even though many aspects of it remain understudied. Child welfare refers to a system of state-provided services to supplement or substitute parental care and supervision. Such a system is deemed necessary to protect and safeguard children and their interests, as some parents or private carers are unable or unwilling to fulfil this role. In such cases, laws and policies allow the state to intervene in the otherwise private realm of family life, through support offerings, control mechanisms or the most intrusive intervention, the removal of a child from her home.How countries implement child welfare services varies significantly, with a basic distinction between those that focus on supporting families (service-oriented systems) and those emphasising risk management (risk-oriented systems). Just as cultural, social and legal factors shape how children are raised in different countries, such factors also influence how child welfare policies are framed and implemented by different states.The course begins by exploring the role of the welfare state in protecting children and goes on to consider some of the core policies in child welfare systems in Europe. By using different methods of policy analysis, it investigates how policies are shaped by cultural, social and legal factors, and reviews the roles played by the elected governments, the general public and the media in affecting child welfare policies.The course is taught in four full-day seminars Seminars are interactive, with discussions based on the reading material and short case studies presented by the students to the group.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
Assessment is by (i) oral presentation of case studies and (ii) writing a reflective learning journal.
Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
The final assessment will be based on the following components:
Active participation in class, reading of set papers in advance of each class and feedback on other students’ presentations (10% of final grade)
Oral presentation of draft cases in class (20% of final grade)
A written reflective learning journal of max. 3 500 words. Students are expected to work on this throughout the course to critically evaluate their own learning experience based on readings, seminars, discussions and reflection. The journal should demonstrate critical engagement with the topic and the theories studied, and should be focussed on analytical structures as well as own reflections and judgements (70% of final grade).1 (very good/sehr gut) -> 100-85 points
2 (good/gut) -> 84-72 points
3 (satisfactory/befriedigend) -> 71-60 points
4 (pass/genügend) -> 59-50 points
5 (not satisfactory/nicht genügend) -> 49-0 points
