Summary/Abstract: The aim of our study is to investigate which educational values can be identified in the Hungarian child protection system and whether there are differences in the two large parts of the system – foster care and institutional care – in terms of educational values. Furthermore, we examine how child protection professionals and the children and young adults they serve to reflect on these values: what are these values, according to each actor, and how they are embedded in the care and education process. Our qualitative research findings show that structural problems in the child protection system are a key determinant of perceptions of fostering.
