In Denmark, secure institutions are the most intrusive form of out-of-home placement. This article explores how children and young people experience participating in decisions involving secure placement. The analysis draws on a qualitative study, which includes interviews with young people, their case manager and case file data. The young people have all been placed in a secure institution for either observation or on grounds of being a danger to themselves or others, typically defined as a range of behavioral problems like absconding, abuse of drugs, transactional sex and/or crime involvement. Young people’s experiences of participating in these decisions provide important insights for understanding the barriers and factors, which facilitate participation for some of the most vulnerable children and young people in the child welfare system. Drawing on a three-dimensional definition of participation inspired by Kloppenborg and Lausten, the analysis shows that young people in the ‘deep-end’ of child welfare services navigate an adult-centered system of assessment and decision-making, which curtails their possibilities to have a voice and influence decisions. The analysis contributes to a limited research field studying case work practices in relation to care orders, restrictive measures and the confinement of children and young people, where young people’s perspectives are largely missing. Their voices provide important insights for the development of a child-centered approach to service provision, that balances their right to participation, protection and care.

“他们谈论的是我的生活”——关于儿童参与安全安置决策

在丹麦,安全机构是最具侵入性的户外安置形式。本文探讨了儿童和年轻人如何参与涉及安全安置的决策。该分析基于一项定性研究,其中包括对年轻人、他们的个案经理和个案档案数据的采访。这些年轻人都被安置在一个安全的机构中,要么是为了观察,要么是因为对自己或他人构成危险,通常被定义为一系列行为问题,如潜逃、滥用药物、性交易和/或犯罪。年轻人参与这些决策的经验为理解障碍和因素提供了重要的见解,有助于一些最脆弱的儿童和年轻人参与儿童福利系统。该分析借鉴了受克洛彭博格和劳斯滕启发的参与的三维定义,表明处于儿童福利服务“深度”的年轻人在以成人为中心的评估和决策系统中导航,这限制了他们实现有发言权并影响决策。该分析有助于有限的研究领域,研究与照料令、限制性措施以及儿童和年轻人的监禁相关的案例工作实践,在这些领域,年轻人的观点在很大程度上缺失。他们的声音为发展以儿童为中心的服务提供方法提供了重要的见解,以平衡他们的参与权、保护权和照顾权。分析表明,处于儿童福利服务“深层”的年轻人在以成人为中心的评估和决策系统中导航,这限制了他们发表意见和影响决策的可能性。该分析有助于有限的研究领域,研究与照料令、限制性措施以及儿童和年轻人的监禁相关的案例工作实践,在这些领域,年轻人的观点在很大程度上缺失。他们的声音为发展以儿童为中心的服务提供方法提供了重要的见解,以平衡他们的参与权、保护权和照顾权。分析表明,处于儿童福利服务“深层”的年轻人在以成人为中心的评估和决策系统中导航,这限制了他们发表意见和影响决策的可能性。该分析有助于有限的研究领域,研究与照料令、限制性措施以及儿童和年轻人的监禁相关的案例工作实践,在这些领域,年轻人的观点在很大程度上缺失。他们的声音为发展以儿童为中心的服务提供方法提供了重要的见解,以平衡他们的参与权、保护权和照顾权。该分析有助于有限的研究领域,研究与照料令、限制性措施以及儿童和年轻人的监禁相关的案例工作实践,在这些领域,年轻人的观点在很大程度上缺失。他们的声音为发展以儿童为中心的服务提供方法提供了重要的见解,以平衡他们的参与权、保护权和照顾权。该分析有助于有限的研究领域,研究与照料令、限制性措施以及儿童和年轻人的监禁相关的案例工作实践,在这些领域,年轻人的观点在很大程度上缺失。他们的声音为发展以儿童为中心的服务提供方法提供了重要的见解,以平衡他们的参与权、保护权和照顾权。
