Abstract

Within child and youth care (CYC) education, supporting and implementing the rights of children and youth requires more than simple identification of these rights. It is also vital to explore issues such as how young people’s rights to participation and protection influence CYC education, and how to constructively move forward with child and youth participation in CYC college curricula. In 2018, a small study was conducted in the Canadian province of Ontario, guided by child and youth advisory committees, with data collection involving young people, CYC educators and practitioners. The findings verified that young people can play valuable roles in supporting the understandings and learnings of emerging CYC practitioners. Child and youth participation is an important but generally unappreciated element of CYC education and its role in advancing children’s rights to protection.

摘要

在儿童和青少年护理 (CYC) 教育中，支持和实施儿童和青少年的权利需要的不仅仅是对这些权利的简单识别。探讨青少年的参与权和保护权如何影响 CYC 教育以及如何建设性地推进儿童和青少年参与 CYC 大学课程等问题也至关重要。2018 年，在儿童和青年咨询委员会的指导下，在加拿大安大略省进行了一项小型研究，数据收集涉及年轻人、CYC 教育工作者和从业者。调查结果证实，年轻人可以在支持新兴 CYC 从业者的理解和学习方面发挥重要作用。
