The child protection system in Qatar is newly developed and still fragmented and lacking a comprehensive legal framework. Qualitative interviews were conducted with a sample of social workers in civil society organizations within the Qatar Social Work Foundation to understand barriers encountered by social workers in child protection and strategies used to overcome these barriers. Findings suggest that policy makers should establish a national framework for child protection and a national referral system that supports social workers in case management. Policies for social worker safety are needed, as are permanent supervisors who are specialized in child protection.

通过一线社会工作者的视角探索卡塔尔儿童保护系统的状况

卡塔尔的儿童保护制度是新制定的，仍然比较分散，缺乏全面的法律框架。对卡塔尔社会工作基金会内民间社会组织的社会工作者样本进行了定性访谈，以了解社会工作者在儿童保护方面遇到的障碍以及克服这些障碍所采用的策略。研究结果表明，政策制定者应建立一个国家儿童保护框架和一个支持社会工作者进行案件管理的国家转介系统。社会工作者安全政策是必要的，专门从事儿童保护的常任监督员也是如此。
