protección de los menores
El término con el que necesito ayuda es "suplencia" pero he puesto también "sustitución" para que nadie no me sugiera "substitution" para "suplencia".
Se trata de cuando un menor se separa de su familia por una situación de riesgo. Contexto: "- El contexto institucional, es decir las intervenciones profesionales sobre la parentalidad, en el que hay que tener en cuenta los efectos positivos y negativos de toda delegación y los efectos de nuestras intervenciones sobre la parentalidad (apoyos, suplencia, sustitución, invalidación,…)"

La 'suplencia' opera en forma provisional, mientras que la
'sustitución' tiende a la permanencia o definitividad (source:web link). In the context of a child being removed from their parent/s due to risk we must place it in relevant Social Services terminology regarding intervention. Other possibilities are 'foster care' with 'substitution' translated as 'adoption' but I would need more of the text to be clearer on this. Hope this helps.

Comment: "Hi Liam, with your explanation the meaning seems obvious. I looked again at the context and have put as indicated in the first part of the glossary entry, with other options for other contexts. Carol's explanation was very helpful too. Thanks to you both!"

surrogacy
a guess, hopefully in the right direction
I'd also guess "in loco parentis", but this would have to be turned into a nominal phrase
(I'm battling with a French psychology text as we speak...!)

Elizabeth Joy Pitt de Morales
: I agree, I think it's a kind of temporary substitution as opposed to a permanent one. The list seems to go in order of increasing levels of intervention/involvement by the professionals involved.

tenure and replacement (substitution)
Although, as you know, Deborah, the most common translations for "suplencia" are "substitution" or "replacement," in Harper Collins it also means "etapa" or stage, period of time, etc. Moreoever, in VOX Diccionario de uso del español de América y España by McGraw Hill, on page 1807, it states:
"suplencia n. f. 1. Acción de suplir: ... 2. Tiempo que dura esta acción: durante mi suplencia conocí a importantes cardiólogos."
