Os desafios do acolhimento institucional para crianças e adolescentes : o caso de Belo Horizonte

Abstract

This paper analyzes the situation of institutional care of children and adolescents in Belo Horizonte. It builds on the survey "Situation of children and adolescents welcomed institutionally in the city of Belo Horizonte", and compares to a national survey by the Institute of Applied Economic Research in 2005. To qualify the discussion refers to authors who discuss the topic . The results show that institutional care, despite the advances brought in legislative terms, still has remnants of charitable model / former welfare. In Belo Horizonte, the implementation of the Institutional Home Policy is through charities, does not exist in the Municipality executed units directly by the executive branch, that fact prevents the realization of a thorough analysis of the impacts for the provision of service etween charities and direct execution.
