Abstract

This chapter explains child protection in Israel. Child protection policies, services, and practices are forced to adjust rapidly to the needs of the growing young population as Israel is still a relatively young state. Data collection is also another challenge within the Israeli child protection system. The chapter notes that neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and emotional abuse are mostly referred in Israel’s official reports of maltreatment cases to social services. It highlights the investigation, substantiation, and decision-making processes of Child Protection Officers regarding children in need of protection and its resemblance to the European welfare system model. Israeli child intervention and prevention services consist of out-of-home care and community-based services.
