Bakgrund: Det finns ett mörkertal av barn som utsätts för misshandel. Utan intervention riskerar de att drabbas av fysisk och psykisk ohälsa upp i vuxenlivet. Att möta barn som misstänkts vara utsatt för misshandel är en stark stressor för sjuksköterskor. Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att möta barn som utsatts för misshandel. Metod: En litteraturöversikt med kvalitativ design där 10 artiklar inkluderades i resultatet. Dataanalysen genomfördes enligt Fribergs femstegsanalys. Resultat: Erfarenheter av möten med barn utsatta för misshandel väckte motstridiga känslor inom sjuksköterskan och uppgiften ansågs också svår på grund av att sjuksköterskan kände en osäkerhet i hur de skulle handla i det enskilda fallet. Sjuksköterskors erfarenhet var att de gav stöd till barn och föräldrar genom förtroendefulla relationer men att de också själva var i behov av stöd och utbildning. Slutsats: Sjuksköterskor som ger omvårdnad till barn utsatta för misshandel löper ökad risk för psykisk ohälsa. Kollegialt stöd, handledning, debriefing och utbildning kan motverka detta. Dessa typer av stöd kan öka anmälningsfrekvensen till socialtjänsten gällande barn som utsätts för misshandel. / Background: There are an unknown number of children exposed to child abuse. Without intervention they risk suffering from physical and mental illness in adulthood. Encountering children where child abuse is suspected is a great stressor for nurses. Aim: To describe nurses’ experiences of encounters with children exposed to child abuse. Method: A literature review with qualitative design was conducted, including 10 articles in the result. Data were analysed using Friberg’s five-step analysis. Results: Experiences of encounters with children exposed to abuse aroused conflicting feelings within the nurse and the task was considered difficult because the nurse felt uncertain about how they would act in the individual case. The nurses’ experiences were that they provided support to children and parents through trusting relationships, but that they themselves were also in need of support and education. Conclusion: Caring for children suffering from child abuse leaves nurses in risk of their mental health. Collegiate support, supervision, debriefing and training may function as a counteract. These measures of support may increase the level of report to Social service concerning child abuse.

Since 2018 and what is referred to as the “Oxfam scandal” it seems that the practices around the prevention of sexual violence in the aid sector have evolved but it is difficult to estimate how much has changed. This research focuses on the specific point of view of managers in aid organizations. They have a specific role with regards to safeguarding because they manage a team and are involved in project design.  This study’s aim is to understand how humanitarian managers perceive and experience their responsibilities towards safeguarding. Based on the analysis of interviews with 6 managers, it examines how they perceive their responsibilities with regards to safeguarding and the risks of sexual violence. It also questions how equipped they feel to mitigate these risks and whether they have observed a change in the past few years, with regards to sexual violence in the aid sector.  This qualitative research relies on the framework of gender-based violence, the concept of intersectionality, the concept of situated knowledge of Donna Haraway and the theory of competencies, one of the theories of adult learning.  It demonstrates that the perceptions of sexual violence by managers of the aid sector are linked to their personal ethics and experiences and that although they consider themselves responsible to prevent sexual violence, their perceptions of the risks are not homogenous. This study lays the ground for further research on safeguarding from the perspectives of managers, with a stronger emphasis on intersectional and decolonial approaches.

No / The author explains how Dementia Care Mapping can be used as powerful preventative tool for safeguarding people with dementia from abuse. Used as part of the process of developing person-centred care, the Dementia Care Mapping tool can be used to identify the preconditions of abuse within care settings.

No / As part of the multidisciplinary safeguarding team, children’s nurses should have a clear understanding of child protection processes and how they have sometimes lacked a systematic approach. Methods of detecting threats to patient safety in high-risk clinical care can also be employed to analyse child protection processes. This article outlines one tool, known as failure mode and effects analysis, which can be used in a framework that takes into account human factors that can influence an individual’s performance. It discusses how this tool can be used to identify and reduce the potential for failure in the serious case review process, in particular by not attributing blame.

In the thesis I develop a living theory of responsibility, movement, engagement, withdrawal, and self care with a living standard of judgement of response-ability toward the other. I use a hermeneutic phenomenological approach to develop a dynamic, relational understanding, where social constructions are discussed and refined using cycles of loose and strict thinking, an inter-play of emotion and intellect, and a combination of intuitive and analytic reasoning. This is underpinned by an extended epistemology embracing experiential learning, documentary and textual analysis, presentational knowing, dialogue, narrative and photographic inquiry. I address the essence of inquiry with people who have difficult stories to tell and for us to comprehend: narratives which emerge from episodes of chaos and suffering, interspersed with occasional glimpses of the inter-human. Within this context I explore responsibility [response-ability] to ‘the Other’ as subject, and the ethical obligations implied in that relationship. My and others’ narratives, through space and over time, are researched using an extended epistemology and inquiry cycles across two interwoven strands. I look back over a long career and ‘epiphanous’ moments as a social worker and academic in the field of child protection and children and families work; and as the child of a war veteran, I reflect on World War II narratives of suffering, changing identity, and the inter-human. This first and second person inquiry extends outwards through cycles of dialogue with ex European prisoners of war and relation with landscape across Europe and Russia. In these reflections I clarify my meanings of chaos, suffering and responsibility [response-ability]. The learning from this extended inquiry and the contribution to knowledge are reflected on within my current practice as a participative researcher who is expressing response-ability toward the other. Finally, I consider implications for improving practice and organizational climate in children and families work.

Doctorat réalisé en cotutelle avec l'Université Paris Sorbonne. La version intégrale de cette thèse est disponible uniquement pour consultation individuelle à la Bibliothèque de musique de l’Université de Montréal (www.bib.umontreal.ca/MU). / La question centrale de cette recherche s’inscrit dans la foulée des problématiques autour de la patrimonialisation, de la performance et de la mise en scène des pratiques musicales. Elle vise plus précisément à comprendre comment et pourquoi les Judéo-espagnols de France, installés depuis le début du XXe siècle, utilisent les pratiques singulières des musiciens et chanteurs professionnels majoritairement externes à la communauté pour revendiquer leur patrimoine musical collectif et affirmer leur identité. La chercheuse replonge dans le passé afin de saisir comment le répertoire musical s’est construit et est devenu un objet quasiment exclusif au monde de l’art, alors qu’il reste associé aux répertoires dits « traditionnels ». En vue d’interroger la judéo-hispanité musicale et déterminer ce qui la caractérise au présent, une ethnographie multi-site auprès des artistes et de la communauté est proposée. Enfin, pour comprendre le sens des pratiques, différents espaces de performance sont examinés à partir de l’analyse des interactions entre les pôles de production et de réception, en cohérence avec le contexte général de la pratique et de l’ensemble des paramètres performanciels. La conclusion révèle notamment que la relation entre les artistes et la communauté génère un nouvel espace familial et intimiste et que chacun des espaces forme un système interrelationnel dont l’interaction permet de produire un équilibre qui consiste à faire vivre et à investir le patrimoine musical au présent. Par ce biais, c’est notamment la problématique des catégories musicales (musiques populaires, musiques traditionnelles, musiques de scène) reliées aux espaces de pratique qui est interrogée. / The central question of this research follows the problematic of patrimonialization (heritization), performance and mise en scene of musical practices. It aims, more precisely, to understand how and why Judeo-Spanish people settled in France since the early twentieth century, use individual practices of professional musicians and singers who are predominantly external to the community to reclaim their collective musical patrimony and affirm their identity. The researcher returns to the past in order to understand how this musical repertoire was constructed, and how it came to be almost exclusive to the art world, even though it is still associated to with the traditional music repertoire. Moreover, in order to question the Judeo-Spanish nature of the music and determine what presently characterizes it, a multi-site ethnography of the artists and the community is proposed. Finally, with a view to understanding the meaning of these practices today different spaces of performance are examined, especially the interaction between the poles of production and reception, in a general context, and through an examination of the parameters of its performance practice. One of the conclusions reveals that the constant relationship between the artist and the community generates a new kind of space for family and that each space constitutes an inter-relational system, thus constructing an interactive equilibrium, which keeps the musical patrimony alive. In this way, it is the problematic of musical categories (e.g. popular music, traditional music, staged music), related to spaces of practice, which is interrogated.

Depuis quelques décennies les musées se sont multipliés ; chaque secteur de la culture, chaque communauté, chaque ville veut le sien, pour le prestige ou pour développer l’activité économique. Aussi la conception du musée a-t-elle évolué dans sa forme, ses objectifs, son organisation, sa gestion. C’est ainsi que sont apparus des enjeux financiers, desquels ont résulté des concepts comme l’entreprise culturelle et ses relations avec le marché, la sauvegarde des collections et leur valorisation par des expositions ouvertes aux différents publics. Alors que le musée devient un élément moteur des politiques culturelles, aussi bien au plan national que local, l’Afrique en général et le Gabon en particulier souffrent d’un retard dans ce domaine, malgré le potentiel qui est le leur. Or un musée sans collection n’existe pas : il doit être un lieu d’exposition ou d’interprétation. Et un musée sans public serait une réserve ou un centre d’étude de collections. C’est à travers la consommation des images de l’histoire dans le temps et l’espace que se forge l’expérience subjective des individus sur la politique culturelle. Cette subjectivité individuelle nous incite à concevoir autrement le musée. Aujourd’hui, cependant, cette révision apparaît compliquée pour un Africain en général et un Gabonais en particulier. En effet, au lieu de s’insérer dans une identité locale plus ou moins homogène et circonscrite au sein de l’identité nationale, il entretient des liens ethniques plus larges en raison des rapports personnels, économiques, professionnels ou financiers qui transcendent quelquefois les frontières géographiques et culturelles de la nation. Ainsi, au Gabon, la gestion du patrimoine culturel doit tenir compte non seulement des retombées de sa valorisation mais aussi des acteurs locaux. Le but est de faire profiter les populations locales des retombées de la valorisation de leur patrimoine. Car, une valorisation non encadrée entraîne un tourisme de masse avec son inconvénient, à savoir l’érosion du patrimoine et des valeurs culturelles, causée par une dégradation soit naturelle, soit humaine. C’est pourquoi il est nécessaire d’instaurer une nouvelle approche qui exige de considérer la gestion du patrimoine culturel comme un facteur de développement local et national. / In recent decades, museums have multiplied in most African societies; each cultural sector, each community, each city wants its own, for prestige or to develop economic and tourism activity. As a result, the design of the museum has evolved in its form, objectives, organization and management. This has given rise to financial challenges, from which concepts such as the cultural enterprise and its relationship with the market, the preservation of collections and their enhancement through exhibitions open to different audiences have emerged. As the museum becomes a driving force in cultural policies, both at the national and local levels, Gabon is lagging behind in this area, despite its potential. However, a museum without a collection does not exist: it must be a place of exhibition or interpretation. And a museum without a public would be a reserve or a center for the study of collections. It is through the consumption of images of history in time and space that individuals' subjective experiences of cultural policy are shaped. This individual subjectivity leads us to conceive the museum differently. Today, however, this revision seems problematic, especially for a Gabonese man. Indeed, instead of being part of a more or less homogeneous local identity that is circumscribed within the national identity, it maintains broader ethnic ties because of personal, economic, professional or financial relationships that sometimes transcend the nation's geographical and cultural borders. Thus, in Gabon, the management of cultural heritage must take into account not only the benefits of its enhancement but also local actors. The aim is to enable local populations to benefit from the benefits of the enhancement of their heritage. For, unframed development leads to mass tourism with its disadvantage, namely the erosion of heritage and cultural values, caused by either natural or human degradation. This is why it is necessary to introduce a new approach that requires considering cultural heritage management as a factor in local and national development.

This PhD project by publication begins to explore how Scottish adult support and protection (ASP) policy and practice carves out its role and remit. It examines the ways that concepts like “abuse”, “vulnerability” and “protection” have been constructed, both by individual practitioners and at a policy level. The submission comprises five papers published in peer-reviewed journals and this contextualising document, which knits together the work and draws out overall conclusions and implications. The papers themselves report on a literature review, a further analysis of case study research into ASP practice and a critical policy comparison. The case study research was conducted immediately prior to legislative changes in Scotland with respect to ASP, and the policy comparison was conducted subsequently to these changes. Overall, the findings highlight the ways that a social constructionist approach can usefully deepen our understandings of ASP. That is, they show how understanding concepts like “protection”, “vulnerability” and “abuse” to be actively constructed in unique and complex contexts can promote criticality in policy-making, practice and research.

Protection of employees in the event of transfer of employer The master's theses deals with the topic of the transfer of rights and obligations from employment relationships and related institutes of protection of the employees affected by the transfer. The topic is regulated at the European Union tier by Council Directive 2001/23/EC of 12 March 2001 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the safeguarding of employees' rights in the event of transfers of undertakings, businesses or parts of undertakings or businesses, which has been transposed into national law as Section XV of Part Thirteen of Act No. 262/2006 Coll., the Labour Code. The thesis introduces both tiers of legislation, the relevant case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the Supreme Court of the Czech Republic and evaluates the implementation of the Directive 2001/23/EC into the national system. The first part of the work is an explanatory one as it describes the meaning of some of the fundamental labour law terms and contexts for the purposes of the following text. The second part introduces the transfer of an undertaking, business or part thereof under the Directive 2001/23/EC and formation of the rules by the Court of Justice of the European Union, in particular the development of the...

Phénomène classique en droit privé du travail, l’évolution d’une activité et le sort réservé aux salariés de droit privé qui y sont affectés figure parmi les thèmes fondamentaux du droit social contemporain, et fait, à ce titre, l’objet d’une jurisprudence relativement stabilisée et d’une littérature abondante. La problématique sociale des évolutions d’activités publiques, pour être tout aussi essentielle sinon plus que celle qui irrigue le secteur économique classique, souffre à l’inverse d’un manque d’analyse globale et approfondie, du moins de l’absence d’une mise en perspective de l’ensemble des hypothèses où elle est amenée à être soulevée. L’approche de la présente recherche est donc d’envisager la problématique sociale liée aux évolutions d’activités publiques dans sa globalité, en embrassant l’ensemble des hypothèses génériques concernées tant d’un point de vue organique – nature des personnels concernés comme nature des entités d’origine et d’accueil – que matériel – externalisation d’activités publiques, reprise en régie, décentralisation de compétences, transfert intercommunal de compétences, privatisation d’établissements publics, etc. L’ambition est ici de révéler le caractère primordial de la donnée sociale dans la conduite des évolutions d’organisation ou de gestion des activités publiques, et d’apporter, dans la démarche pratique qui est la nôtre, les clés essentielles à la résolution de la problématique sociale qu’elle peut engendrer, quelque soit l’hypothèse sur laquelle elle porte. Il s’agit, en premier lieu, en fonction de la nature publique et/ou privée des personnels concernés, d’identifier clairement les obligations de transfert des personnels de nature légales - d’ordre interne comme communautaire - ou conventionnelles, et de les confronter à la volonté politique de conserver ou réaffecter ces personnels. Il convient, en deuxième lieu, de préciser les modalités de transfert des personnels concernés. Il s’agit tout particulièrement de vérifier la nécessité d’obtenir un accord exprès de leur part, de formaliser le transfert par la signature par un contrat de travail ou encore de solliciter les institutions représentatives du personnel pour procéder au transfert effectif des agents. Il est, en troisième et dernier lieu, important d’envisager précisément les conséquences du transfert des personnels tant pour la structure d’accueil que pour les agents eux-mêmes, en termes financiers (niveau de rémunération, avantages individuels acquis, etc.) et opérationnels (organisation interne des ressources humaines, répartition des pouvoirs hiérarchiques entre structure d’origine et d’accueil pour les personnels mis à disposition, etc.). / Classical phenomenon in labour law, the changes which happens in an activity’s management or organisation and the resulting question of the employee’s fate appears like one of the most important contemporary labour law’s subject. Despite it concerns public undertakings engaged in economic activities, whether or not they are operating for gain, as well as private undertakings, this dimension is nevertheless well known and characterised by a lack of detailed analysis, at least by a putting in perspective’s lack of all hypothesis concerned. Consequently, this study chooses to consider the social issue following public activities changes in its globality by including all cases concerned, as well in an organic point of vue (employees nature, original structure or welcoming structure nature) then in a material point of vue (public activities externalization, return of an activity under a public control, decentralization, powers’ transfers between local authorities, privatization of public ownerships, etc.). This study’s aim is to reveal the importance of the human element in the event of a change on activity’s management or organisation and to give, in a practical view, the keys to resolve the social issue which belongs to each activity’s changes, whatever is the working hypothesis concerned. First, depending on the public or private nature of the personnel, it should be clearly identified the tranfer’s obligations which could exist according to labour legislation or a collective agreement and to bring them face to political decision to keep or redeploy employees. Then, it must be explained the procedure of transfer. More particularly, it should be confirmed if the transfer needs to be accepted by each employee, to be formalized by a contract signature or as well to be submitted to union companies. Finally, it is important to envisage precisely the transfer consequences as for employers then for employees, in financial (wages, individual or collective benefits, etc.) and operational terms (human resources organisation, management rules between original employer and new employer in case of provided civil servant, etc.).
