Abstract

ABDULLA, Zurina; PRETORIUS, Blanche  and  GOLIATH, Veonna. A co-constructed practice model for supporting parents of children in conflict with the law. Social work (Stellenbosch. Online) [online]. 2020, vol.56, n.1, pp.33-50. ISSN 2312-7198.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15270/52-2-788.

The ecological systems theory and the buffering effect model both suggest that the absence of a multi-systemic conceptualisation of supporting parents of children in conflict with the law (CCL) diminishes the impact of traditional generic efforts to meaningfully buffer parents of CCL during the child justice process. This participatory qualitative study involved parents of CCL and child justice officials as co-constructors of a practice model for supporting parents of CCL. The co-constructed practice model shows that parents must have access to informational, emotional, practical and professional support prior to, during and after the child justice process..

Keywords : child justice; supporting parents; practice model; generic efforts.
