This work, with a foreword by Maria de Belém Roseira and a preface by Dulce Rocha, aims to inform Parents, Health Professionals, Teachers and the general public about the instruments that protect children in the health area in Portugal. The six chapters present the laws and other legal provisions that, in relation to the Child, illustrate the Right to Health and Access to Health Services, Protection of Maternity, Paternity and Adoption, School Health, Child Victims of Abuse, Adolescents and Children and Young People with Disabilities.
The IAC, aware of the need for parental education, the absence of valid instruments for this purpose, and that this work constitutes an important support for those who deliver training to populations, promoted the publication of this book. It is therefore, as noted on the cover, a “recommended reading for parents’ schools”. It is also worth noting that the texts are scripts for the daily television episodes entitled “Manuel e Beatriz”, which served as a means of transmitting in accessible language information on the defense of children’s rights and many other essential dissemination topics in a country with such great needs in the area of education.
The texts that make up the collection “Cadernos da Actividade Lúdica” allow the dissemination of contributions from participants whose intervention has enriched conferences, round tables, meetings and other events on games, toys, toy libraries and outdoor play spaces, organized by the IAC’s Recreational Activity Sector. This volume includes texts by several renowned authors.
The IAC Advisory Board publication was released during the public presentation ceremony of the IAC Advisory Board, which brings together a group of distinguished personalities with a path linked to the promotion of the Rights of the Child. Click to read.
The International Association of Toy Libraries (ITLA) promotes every three years and never on the same continent, a Conference that constitutes, worldwide, a moment of exchange of ideas, experiences and materials. Given the innovative nature of the toy library movement initiated by the IAC in our country, the IAC was entrusted with the responsibility of organizing this Conference. This work presents dozens of summaries of interventions on the experiences and reflections of the best Portuguese and world professionals.
Twenty professionals (paediatricians, judges, teachers, nurses, etc.) involved in the defense of the Child comment on the ten principles that are part of the Charter for Hospitalized Children, at the rate of two per principle. In this way, they contribute to making this document better known to all those who are interested in the well-being of the Child in general and the hospitalized Child in particular, helping them and their families to bear the pain of illness and separation.
This publication illustrated by the French illustrator Pef, summarizes and reaffirms the 10 rights of hospitalized children and is a very useful tool for: health/education professionals, parents, the general public and institutions concerned with the rights of the Child. The Charter’s ten points help doctors and nurses to see the child, his/her family and all those who care for him/her, as a whole and to accept children as partners in all areas of health care.
