Abstract:

China is in a critical stage to construct a general children welfare system. Since the 1960s, social work has played an important role in the western children protection practice and has promoted the orientation of the children protection's content and model. However, the children protection social work faces some debates about the value of "professional incompetence" and the practice of "administrativization", "lack of professional autonomy". Children protection practitioners consider that it is necessary to reconstruct the model, mechanism and methods of the social work practice. It requires that children protection social work should return to "children", "the nature of social work" and "building integrated service model", build "community-based children protection" or "partnership model", use the scientific and reflective assessment methods to enhance the cultural sensitivity and children's subjectivity of the intervention, focus on function of the community networks and family support. The transformation and reconstruction of Western children protection social work has a positive effect on the perfection of the general welfare system for children and the construction of service system in China.

Key words: children protection, social work, children's rights
