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

tutelary dimension


Explanation:
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)."

"...by integrating the regulatory and tutelary dimension of public authorities."

safeguarding role of the State


Explanation:
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.

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.
