| The main task of the project “Youth Welfare Assistance and Social Change – Performances and Structures”, supervised by the German Youth Institute (Deutsches Jugendinstitut) and financially supported by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth, is to investigate at regular intervals the governmental and non-governmental organisations in the field of child and welfare services. In this project the organisational, political and educational changes taking place in the child and youth welfare assistance sector are to be documented and evaluated. A further aim is to describe the results of the changes affecting those who are recipients of these services.These analyses and evaluations are based on internally collected, repeatedly registered empirical data obtained at regular intervals on a national level, ie. throughout Germany (ref. van Santen & Seckinger 2003; van Santen, Mamier, Pluto, Seckinger & Zink 2003). Furthermore, the project “Youth Welfare Assistance and Social Change”, conducted interviews at European level in 2001 and 2002 with a view to gaining insight into the practise of providing help to children and young people in various European countries. The methods applied were:collection of data from youth welfare offices and independent organisations based on standardised questionnaires, qualitative regional studies with guided interviews, document analyses and observations. | |
