Resumo(s)
Notwithstanding the legal milestones observed in the Portuguese child protection system (CPS), several
concerns call for political action to ensure the effective guarantee of children’s rights. In this context, it is
imperative to discuss proposals for reforming the CPS. Agreement on these proposals by the stakeholders in
the system is key to validating and improving the system. Therefore, the main research questions of the
present study are (1) what is the level of agreement among stakeholders in the CPS on certain proposals for
child protection reform? and (2) what are the positions on those proposals? Mixed methods were conducted
based on an online survey (n = 292), supported by Qualtrics, and eight focus groups involving stakeholders
as former beneficiaries, families, practition ers and academics (n = 18). Findings show a harmonious
alignment with the proposals, justifying an urgent reform of the CPS and the need to strengthen a
child-centred system. Three themes emerged: promotion of quality family-based care and promotion of
adoption; development of child-friendly terminology; and improvement of the CPS administration. The
conclusions highlight implications for policy and practice.
