Blackstock, C., Bamblett, M., & Black, C.

Description

The authors explore the efficacy of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child through the lens of the over-representation of Indigenous children in out-of-home care in Canada and Australia. The paper discusses how the Convention can be applied to structural and systemic risk factors for this over-representation, and outlines some of the challenges that need to be overcome to meaningfully recognize Indigenous self-determination in child welfare.
