Spanish term

dimensión tutelar

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general) children's protection agencies
Este trabajo muestra el modo en que los actuales formatos de intervención sobre la infancia y sus familias incorporan novedosos elementos como la confianza y el afecto que, sin embargo, se traman con perdurables mecanismos de poder propios de la dimensión tutelar del Estado. Asimismo, problematiza el lugar de las familias en la interacción con agentes estatales para permitir una comprensión de su accionar a partir del uso y apropiación del lenguaje de los derechos

scope (of the State's) protective services

This seems to be referring to the scope of the child protection services provided by the state.

Another good choice. Thanks, Phil.
disagree Angelo Berbotto : El texto original no hace referencia a los organismos estatales de protección de menores y creo que la traducción 'protective services' no refleja el original

tutelary dimension

I think a literal translation is fine here.

Here are some examples of the term that are not from translations:

"...Weakening The Tutelary Dimension Of Social Work (Donzelot And Roman, 1998)."

safeguarding role of the State

Power mechanisms typical of the safeguarding role of the State.

I have worked as a child protection lawyer in the UK and safeguarding is the term most commonly used to refer to child protection, assistance, etc.

Espero que te sirva. Saludos

neutral philgoddard : Child safeguarding gets 900,000 hits. Child protection gets 27 million.

El texto se refiere a la función de "parens patriae" del Estado -- me parece que el campo semántico de safeguarding es más amplio que el de child protection- tutela significa proteger y además desplegar las funciones que se esperan del padre y la madre
agree Adrian MM. : This is in fact what I was going to post vs. the State's safeguarding remit or purview - I couldn't make up my mind, besides which the 'dimensional scale' of translators'-crutch G/hits is pointless in a legal drafting context.
