Reflexión sobre un estudio de Senegal para el diseño de campañas de prevención de la migración de forma irregular
2010
La iniciativa europea Proyecto Infomigra tuvo como objetivo diseñar unas campañas de información para desarrollar en Marruecos y Senegal con la intención de concienciar sobre los peligros de la migración de forma irregular. El trabajo de campo desarrollado en Senegal fue elaborado por Cruz Roja Española y contó con la colaboración de Socioestudia S.L. para el análisis e informe final. De dicho estudio, además del análisis de la información y motivaciones de las personas que mostraban su decisión de emigrar, puede extraerse una apología de la concienciación social en las investigaciones y el fomento en el campo del análisis social para un trabajo conjunto entre sociólogos/as y trabajadores/a…
Nuevos recursos sanitarios en época de crisis: el papel del trabajador social en la Unidad de Neurorehabilitación Infantil del Hospital de Manises
2013
En los últimos años se ha detectado un aumento en los niños diagnosticados con Trastornos Generalizados del Desarrollo (TGD) y Daño Cerebral (DC). Al mismo tiempo la formación e información por parte de los profesionales que intervienen con estos niños también es mayor por lo que el Departamento de Salud de Manises creó en mayo del 2012 la primera Unidad de Neurorrehabilitación Infantil integrada en un hospital público valenciano especializada en estos casos. La Unidad está atendida por un equipo de profesionales especializados en TGD y DC, tanto en el diagnóstico como en la intervención y con una filosofía de trabajo interdisciplinar. Este equipo cuenta con la figura del trabajador social …
Factors Associated with Providers' Work Engagement and Burnout in Homeless Services: A Cross-national Study
2021
Contains fulltext : 232434.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) The complexity of homeless service users' characteristics and the contextual challenges faced by services can make the experience of working with people in homelessness stressful and can put providers' well-being at risk. In the current study, we investigated the association between service characteristics (i.e., the availability of training and supervision and the capability-fostering approach) and social service providers' work engagement and burnout. The study involved 497 social service providers working in homeless services in eight different European countries (62% women; mean age = 40.73, SD = 10.45) and was part o…

Child protection in Europe: development of an international cross-comparison model to inform national policies and practices
2015
We report a five-nations project in comparative child protection to provide recommendations on policy and practice to inform the redevelopment of the Swiss child protection system. The Swiss Federal Government and the Optimus and Oak Foundations commissioned the project—collective title: Association Programme National pour la Protection de l'Enfant. We identify the historical developmental trajectories of child protection systems together with common drivers: the evidential basis for the prevalence and effects of child abuse, the co-joining of social and economic policies and practices to promote early investment in children, the influence of children's rights and comparative international …
International development aid and young people's participation in societal development of the global south
2018
International development aid has in recent years sought to strengthen youths’ societal participation by cooperation between international non-governmental organisations (INGOs) and local youth associations. In this paper, we address and conceptualise some of the underlying causes that may enable and/or limit such efforts to support youth participation in the global south. We seek to contribute to the growing literature exploring the multiple scales of young people's political agency. A core argument proposed is that notions of generational relationality, as seen in the case of international development aid targeting youth, must include conceptions of power as a topological relation across …

Per una Carta de Drets Socials com a procés de construcció de la ciutadania social comunitària
2012
The public system of Social Services is suffering an unprecedented government attack, using the global crisis as an excuse. Their plan is to ruin the social achievements that are the foundations of our Democracy, just when the social inequality is so blatant. Therefore, we would like to do our bit by proposing the implementation of a new process that contributes to strengthen the Community participation.

The early childhood care and development mission and the institutional circuit of evidence
2019
Early childhood care and development has increasingly become a part of the global development agenda. Fueled by a threefold rationale, rooted in development psychology, social economy, and human rights, the arguments for investing in early childhood care and development are virtually unassailable. However, this rationale is somehow at odds with insights developed within the sociology of childhood, emphasizing childhood as a social construction amendable to context and children’s own agency. Inspired by the methodological approach known as institutional ethnography, we explore how development aid workers respond to and enact the early childhood care and development mission. Building on inter…
