The chapter examines child welfare removal proceedings in Switzerland. The legal basis of compulsory child welfare removals, the applying authorities, decision-making bodys and the respective proceedings are laid out. Attention is paid to variations across the 26 political and administrative units (cantons). Voluntary removals are examined with less detail due to a lack of legislation on this topic in the majority of the 26 cantons and to a corresponding lack of data and research. Statistics on child removals and on the number children in alternative care (limited to a small number of cantons) are included. Child welfare and child protection in Switzerland is contextualised by providing information on particularities of the political system (small scale federalism) and by setting Switzerland on the map of internationally used classificatory frameworks (child-protection-oriented vs. family-service-oriented systems, risk-oriented vs. service-oriented systems; developments towards a child-focused orientation).

The influence of evidence-based policy and practice is increasingly found in the field of social work. Using Multisystemic Therapy (MST) as a case, this article explores issues arising from the travelling of programmes to settings that are different and distant from those of their origin. While such travelling is often accompanied and facilitated by narratives of positive findings in effectiveness trials, it can be argued that effectiveness and efficiency are influenced by contextual conditions and therefore the informational value of such trials is limited. Accepting that there are epistemic and practical limits to the idea of a universal effectiveness of a certain programme, the travelling of programmes is not necessarily a case of the ‘best ideas’ being adopted and such travelling therefore requires critical examination. Decisions on programme adoption should be based not only on effectiveness trials, but also on knowledge about the generic elements of (alternative) programmes as well as on knowledge about contextual conditions including the needs of local service users and gaps in local service provision.
