Les assistants sociaux face à la parentalité transnationale : pratiques et stratégies dans l’accompagnement des mineurs isolés

The article analyses how social workers assess unaccompanied minors’ transnational family ties and how they manage the accompaniment practices, considering the non-institutionalisation of intervention models taking into account the role of parents in the countries of departure, a subject that has been rarely studied. The research main hypothesis is that, in the absence of institutional lines of action in this area, social workers implement informal – but culturally conscious - practices and strategies aimed at safeguarding the path of insertion provided for unaccompanied minors, considered important and feasible.
