Dutch term or phrase: bijzonder jeugdzorg
translation covering child poverty in general... is this simply 'youth care'? The 'bijzonder' worries me.

English translation:special youth care
Explanation:
This concentrates on certain categories within youth care (for instance children of drug addicts and so on.

http://www.researchportal.be/en/project/categorial-approach-...
Working with migrant youngsters and their families is a rather new phenomenon for special youth care in Flanders. Due to language problems, cultural barriers and difficulties in the co-operation with parents and youngsters the existing special youth care does not fit these migrants.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
