Categorisation work in child and youth welfare. A comparative study of the processes used to provide support for the disabled and child and youth welfare taking into account discussion on overall responsibility

目前，为残疾和非残疾儿童和青年提供的社会服务分为儿童和青年福利(SGB)和社会服务(SGB XII)。为了确定客户是否需要支持，以及在社会服务提供者的职权范围内提供哪些支持，必须使用组织程序对客户进行分类。鉴于目前关于儿童和青年福利服务(包容)总体责任的讨论，提交的项目旨在比较儿童和青年福利与社会服务(对残疾人的支助)的分类工作。我们的假设是，制度化的交流是由“边界项目”构成的，这些项目通过这两个领域的发展路径显示出明显的差异。计划的第一步是调查儿童和社会服务机构处理案件时发生的工作流程，以及所涉工作人员赋予这些工作流程的重要性。然后，该研究项目将重点评估儿童和社会服务机构用来授权支持的案例文件。利用民族方法学的研究方法，这些文件将作为执行实践中使用的交流文件加以分析。预计这些结果来自特定领域的分类系统和关于需要采取什么行动的相关预期，这意味着它们可以用来分析这些点。文件分析将通过与在这些服务和机构工作的专家进行的与案件和情节相关的采访来验证。为此目的，将确定与外地行为者之间的沟通特别相关的程序性文件。这项调查将在三个不同的市镇进行，涉及支助可能重叠或导致类似支助环境的两个工作领域的服务类型。由公共来源提供并在法律程序中获得授权的各种形式的社会福利需要进行分类。儿童和青年福利对所有儿童和青年负责的挑战是，需要组织这一进程，以避免污名化和歧视。这些进程必须牢记儿童的发展，并提供参与的机会。

The social services for children and young people with and without a disability are currently divided between child and youth welfare (SGB VIII) and the social services (SGB XII). In order to determine whether clients are in need of support, and what support is to be provided under the remit of one of the social services providers, the clients must be categorised using organisational processes. This method is used to justify measures and mark out fields of responsibility, In view of the current discussion on overall responsibility for the child and youth welfare services (inclusion), the submitted project aims to compare categorisation work in child and youth welfare and in the social services (support for the disabled). The assumption is that institutionalised communication is structured by 'border items' which reveal clear differences through the developmental paths of the two fields. The first step planned is to investigate the workflows which occur when cases are processed by the children's and social services and the significance they are ascribed by the workers involved. The research project is then due to focus on evaluating case documents which the children's and social services use to authorise support. Using research approaches from ethnomethodology, these will be analysed as communication documents used in implementation practice. These are expected to result from field-specific categorisation systems and related expectations regarding what action is required, meaning they can used to analyse these points. The file analysis is to be validated using case- and episode-related interviews with specialists working in the services and institutions. To this end, procedural documents will be identified which are of particular relevance for communication between actors in the field. The investigation will be carried out in three different municipalities and relates to types of service in both lines of work where support may overlap or lead to comparable support settings. Forms of social welfare which are granted by public sources and authorised in legal proceedings require situations of need to be categorised. The challenge of child and youth welfare being responsible for all children and young people is that the processes need to be organised so as to avoid stigmatisation and discrimination. The processes must bear in mind childhood development and open up opportunities for participation.
