Partizipation von Kindern in Kindesschutzverfahren früher und heute. Erkenntnisse aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive
Die Studie «Intapart: Integrität, Autonomie und Partizipation im Kindesschutz: Wie erleben Kinder und Eltern den Kindesschutz?» wurde im Rahmen des Nationalen Forschungsprogramms 76 «Fürsorge und Zwang» des Schweizerischen Nationalfonds realisiert und liegt dem Beitrag zugrunde. Die Studie ging diesen Themen mit einem interdisziplinär ausgerichteten Forschungsdesign nach, das eine rechtliche, eine historische und eine sozialwissenschaftliche Teilstudie zusammenführte. Der vorliegende Beitrag fokussiert aus einer historischen und einer gegenwartsbezogenen sozialwissenschaftlichen Perspektive auf die für das Erleben von Verfahren zentrale Frage der subjektiven Wahrnehmung von Partizipation: Wie nehmen Kinder und Jugendliche ihre Partizipationsmöglichkeiten in zivilrechtlichen Kindesschutzverfahren wahr?

Participation of Children and Parents in the Swiss Child Protection System in the Past and Present: An Interdisciplinary Perspective
As in other European countries, the Swiss child protection system has gone through substantial changes in the course of the 20th century up to today. Increasingly, the needs as well as the participation of children and parents a ected by child protection interventions have become a central concern. In Switzerland, critical debates around care-related detention of children and adults until 1981 have led to the launch of the National Research Program ‘Welfare and Coercion—Past, Present and Future’ (NRP 76), with the aim of understanding past and current welfare practices. This paper is based on our research project, which is part of this national program. We first discuss three overarching concepts—integrity, autonomy and participation—at the heart of a theoretical framework in order to understand the position of parents and children in child protection proceedings. Secondly, we critically analyze the historical and legal development of the child protection system in Switzerland and its e ects on children and parents from 1912 until today. Thirdly, we give an insight into the current Swiss child protection system, with an investigation of hearings of parents and children conducted by the Child and Adult Protection Authorities (CAPA) based on participant observations. In particular, we show the importance of information exchanges and of signs of mutual recognition. Finally, in light of our findings, we discuss the interplay between socio-historical and legal developments in child protection and their consequences for the integrity, autonomy and participation of the people involved.

Errors and Mistakes in Child Protection in Switzerland. A Missed Opportunity of Reflection?
In Switzerland, two lines of discourse in the field of errors and mistakes can be reconstructed: a historically oriented discourse on coercive child removals and placements in the 19th and 20th century, and a contemporary oriented discourse on fatal cases in child protection in the context of a new organization of child protection authorities. Both lines have in common that they have not (yet) led to an explicit debate on errors and mistakes in Switzerland. The chapter summarises how coercive child removals practiced until the mid-20th century have led to harm, injustice, and suffering for many children and their families. It describes how a historical appraisal of these experiences led to a Federal Act entitling survivors to reparation payments. The chapter further depicts the discourses preceding a reform of the legislation on child and adult protection in the Swiss Civil Code in 2013. The new legislation aimed at professionalising child protection proceedings and decision-making, and included a pivotal shift from lay to professional decision-making bodies. The current state of this process, which has led to criticism on the part of politicians, the public, and the media with regard to negative or fatal outcomes of child protection cases, is analysed and discussed. Strategies for avoiding and dealing with errors and mistakes are described. Using this background, the need for an explicit discourse on errors and mistakes in child protection in Switzerland is outlined
