This policy note looks at the
institutional architecture and organization of the child
protection service delivery in Russia. The objective is to
understand how a complex set of child protection actors
regulated at federal, regional and local levels functions on
the ground and it is intended to inform the policy debate in
Russia about effective and efficient ways to organize the
delivery of child protection policies and programs. For a
closer look, two regions serve as case studies: the
Leningrad Oblast and the Republic of Tatarstan. These two
regions were chosen, first, because they both have lower
rates of children entering public care than many other
regions in Russia and, second, because they have spearheaded
the child protection system changes but each in its own way,
providing an opportunity to illustrate a variety of
approaches that Russian regions have chosen to pursue. The
Note focuses is on formally reported children who are left
without parental care and have been placed under the state
care (children in formal care; children in care or looked
after children) and on families in difficult life
situations, at risk or in crisis in need of assistance to
mitigate the risk and/or overcome crisis and prevent family
separation. The note is a follow up to several earlier World
Bank studies on child welfare in Russia, including children
with disabilities, prepared over in 2017-2018 as part of the
Reimbursable Advisory Service (RAS) with the Russian Agency
for Strategic Initiatives.3 It is based on the following
sources of information: (i) legal and strategic documents at
the federal, regional and local levels; (ii) official
statistical data on children left without parental care and
children in public care collected at the federal level: data
on the number of biological and social orphans identified
and recorded each year (inflow); data on the total (stock)
number of children without parental care and data on the
forms of their placement); and data from the Federal
Databank of Orphaned Children, and (iii) information
obtained through a qualitative study using a series of
in-depth expert interviews with policy makers and
practitioners in the Leningrad Oblast and the Republic of Tatarstan. |
