Children’s rights policies and the adult perspective – stability and change in the outreach work of BRIS?This article sets out to explore how a Swedish children’s rights organization has accounted for adults’ capability or incompetence to address children’s interests and how such notions have changed over time and have been negotiated between actors within the organization. Since its establishment in 1971, The Children’s Rights in Society (BRIS – Barnens rätt i samhället) has been an organization of adults working for children. Children’s rights organizations often stress that their work is guided by a child perspective, although much children’s rights advocacy is performed by adults. What is the bearing of this discrepancy when it comes to the formulation of child rights policies? Is it possible to distinguish an adult perspective operating in the shadow of the embraced child perspective? The results demonstrate that in the 1970s, the organization identified parents as the children’s main betrayers, but that the importance of child experts and child welfare professionals as advocates for children’s voices and opinions was gradually emphasized more. During the second period of study (2007–16) the need for increased resources and competences of child welfare professionals has been accentuated as welfare institutions such as school, social services and child and adolescent psychiatry are simultaneously seen as the cause of and key to children’s problems while the generational conflict between children and parents has been downplayed.

Abused And Neglected Children

A Review of recent literature and press pronouncements has no doubt left many confused about what degree of concern should be channeled into the problem of the abused child. Part of the confusion results from a tendency to resort to the numbers game in trying to highlight the critical child welfare problems that face this nation, state, and city. Rather than wonder which numbers to believe, or whether physical and emotional battering of children is increasing, I think that the abuse and neglect of children in New York City is of such significant proportions as to justify our dedicated concern. For some years there has been a specialized approach to the problems of the neglected and abused child. This specialized approach has been termed child protective services. It has been developed in response to the problems of abused and neglected children, which the community feels must be looked into and treated. The Child Welfare League defines protective service as "A specialized child welfare service which carries a delegated responsibility to offer help on behalf of any child considered or found to be neglected." The New York State Department of Social Services defines protective services as "Those provided to children living in their own homes who are seriously neglected, abused, or subjected to demoralizing circumstances by their parents or others responsible for their care." Child protective service is not a new service. It has a very illustrious history that really started in this city, back in the late 1800s, through the development of the Society for the Prevention of the Cruelty to Children.

Abstract Women with intellectual disability have low screening rates for breast and cervical cancer. This population-based cohort study examined the association between the level of primary care continuity and breast and cervical cancer screening rates in women with intellectual disability. Data were obtained from the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences and the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services. Neither high (adjusted OR [aOR] = 1.06; 95% CI: 0.88-1.29) nor moderate (aOR = 1.11; 95% CI: 0.91-1.36) continuity of care were associated with mammography screening. Women were less likely to receive a Pap test with high (aOR = 0.70; 95% CI: 0.64-0.77) and moderate (aOR = 0.81, 95% CI 0.74-0.89) versus low continuity of care. Improving continuity of care may not be sufficient for increasing preventive screening rates.
