Dweilen met de kraan open : De bedreigde ontwikkeling van kinderen in gezinslocaties en de drempel tot adequate (jeugd)hulp

Uit nieuw onderzoek van Defence for Children blijkt dat de ontwikkeling van kinderen in gezinslocaties ernstig wordt geschaad door de slechte leefomstandigheden. Het huidige systeem is desastreus voor het mentale welzijn van de kinderen. Bovendien krijgen kinderen in de gezinslocaties niet de jeugdhulp die ze nodig hebben. Gezinslocaties maken het voor gemeenten onmogelijk hun jeugdzorgplicht op grond van de Jeugdwet uit te voeren. Defence for Children roept de overheid op gezinslocaties in hun huidige vorm als opvangvorm af te schaffen.

Health and social consequences for survivors of genocidal rape : A systematic scoping review
