A children's rights approach to social work might have adverse consequences for children and parents when it ignores a view on rights as a lever for commitment and the question of how these rights can be realized in different contexts and with respect for the rights of other actors involved.
French
Une approche de travail social centrée sur les droits des enfants peut avoir des conséquences négatives auprès des enfants et des parents lorsqu'elle ne considère pas les droits comme un levier pour l'engagement et lorsqu'elle ne tient pas compte de la façon dont ces droits peuvent s'exercer dans différents contextes et en regard des droits des autres acteurs concernés.
Spanish
Abordar el trabajo social desde el punto de vista de los derechos de los niños puede tener consecuencias negativas para los niños y los padres cuando ignora una visión de derechos como palanca de dedicación y compromiso, y cuando ignora el cómo los derechos pueden realizarse en distintos contextos respetando los derechos de otros actores.
