Acolhimento institucional de crianças e adolescentes: reflexões necessárias

Abstract

Brazilian children and adolescents were not always protected and seen as subjects of rights. After years of debates and mobilizations, a consensus was reached that childhood and adolescence must be protected not only by the legal framework, but also by society as a whole from different forms of violence. Therefore, this article aims to reflect on the changes that have been taking place in institutional care, with regard to legislation and Public Policies related to the full protection of children and adolescents. Such changes are analyzed from the paradigmatic changes in the Statute of Children and Adolescents (ECA) and the contributions of the operationalization of the Unified Social Assistance System (SUAS) for institutional care. Thus, the discussion in this article comprises the stage of bibliographic review of the research that will make up the work of completion of the postgraduate course, the Specialization in Care Policies for Children and Adolescents in Situations of Violence at the Federal University of Pampa, São Borja campus . The research proposed to analyze the theme from the productions of knowledge in the field of Psychology, Law and Social Work. According to the bibliographic review process, it was possible to understand the evolution of the fundamental rights of children and adolescents. However, many questions are made in relation to practice and what the law itself says – theory. In addition, during the exercise of writing and construction of the bibliographic review, it was necessary to introduce the theme from the historical, social context, passing through the historical resumption of children in Brazil, seeking to prepare a synthesis of the main methodologies that have been contributing to the non-revictimization of the hosted during the host period.
