Research On Collaborative Dilemma And Optimized Paths Of Rescue Vulnerable Children In Tianjin

As an important part of China’s children’s welfare,the rescue and protection of children in distress is the common responsibility of the government,society and even all citizens.In the context of the general policy of child development,China’s child welfare system has become increasingly mature,but in practice,there are still many challenges in the rescue and protection of children in difficulty.Since 2010,the Tianjin government has formulated a series of policies and taken corresponding measures for the rescue and protection of vulnerable children,and initially built a network of government-led,socially involved and family-driven rescue work for vulnerable children,but from media reports or actual visits,we still find that vulnerable children are not effectively protected.From the perspective of welfare pluralism,this study takes the current situation of the coordination of multiple actors’ participation in the rescue work of children in distress in Tianjin as the research object and collects and collates information on the current situation of the coordination of the rescue work of vulnerable children in Tianjin through participant observation,in-depth interview and questionnaire survey.We found that,due to the inadequate coordination mechanism,the lack of coordination function and the weak awareness of coordination among multiple actors,the rescue work for vulnerable children in Tianjin is facing a series of difficulties.In particular,there is insufficient support from existing professionals,conservative and solidified ways of helping vulnerable children,insufficient social participation in helping vulnerable children,and the double dilemma of lack of guardianship and psychological problems faced by vulnerable children.In this regard,based on the theory of welfare pluralism,the study explores the optimization path from the government,community,social organizations and family: firstly,the government should take the lead to provide basic protection;secondly,community resources should be integrated to play a bridging role;secondly,social organizations can be leveraged to improve the participation capacity;finally,the family core should be strengthened to improve the protection function and promote the realization of a pluralistic child rescue system with the participation of multiple subjects.In the end,we should strengthen the family nucleus,improve the protection function,and promote the realization of a rescue system for vulnerable children with the participation of multiple subjects.
