Voluntary care agreement del Derecho irlandés como instrumento alternativo y prioritario frente al desamparo
Voluntary care agreement in Irish law as an alternative and preferred instrument against abandonment
Resumen
Cuando un menor de edad se encuentra desamparado, el sistema de protección a la infancia y la adolescencia en España opta por separarlo de su familia. Cuando del pronóstico se derive la posibilidad de retorno del menor con su familia de origen, la reintegración del mismo será el objetivo último. Para ello, el trabajo con la familia biológica y su regulación en las leyes es una condición indispensable des del momento inicial. Estudios previos constatan la ausencia de un auténtico modelo de participación de las familias en España durante el acogimiento y posterior reunificación.
En virtud de esta carencia surge la necesidad de enfocar la atención en estrategias que fomenten activamente dicha participación. El voluntary care agreement, regulado en el sistema de protección irlandés, es un mecanismo que favorece la participación de los progenitores y permite crear una relación más colaborativa entre éstos y los profesionales del sistema de protección para alcanzar el retorno del menor con su familia.
