Assessment of the presented models This chapter is devoted to the comparison of all the presented models and the possible use of their strengths for the development of children and childhood protection. This is discussed with relation to the paradigm change according to Gilbert (2012) – child focus. The author debates that any help to children at risk can also be traumatizing and describes the different views: - New challenges for the education of social workers. - New dilemmas that can reduce of deepen the traumatization of the children. From the point of view of these dilemmas, the use of the strengths of the individual models to change the approaches in the assistance to children is presented. This is tied to the practical use of the inspiring tools of the presented systems without a fundamental change in legislation. These changes are described from the point of view of the child focus paradigm.
