Presentation

In a century that should be the rule of the child as authentic subject of rights, the main themes that dwell their existence, so often out of favour and unfortunate, must be brought to debate in an integrated, interdisciplinary and systematic manner.

Since the alteration of the Civil Code operated by the Law nº61/2008 of October 31st, many of the paradigms regarding divorce and the exercise of parental responsibilities as what pertains to under-age children, have suffered transformations.

The need we feel in discussing family fostering, adoption, civil guardianship and custody, institutes, some younger than others, that serve as basis support to protective architecture in Portugal, innovated through the implementation of the Laws nº 147/99 and 1/9 and 166/99 of 14/9.

What worries us is Juvenile delinquency. The difficulty in hearing children in judicial seat that we sense every day. It is domestic violence, in all its shapes, that remains a pressing problem.

In this Advanced Training Course we aim to discuss these issues, refocusing the children statute in the light of the social and legislative transformations.
