Abstract

Razvodom braka roditelji donose odluke koje utječu na budućnost djeteta. Iako je pravo djeteta
na izražavanje mišljenja priznato međunarodnim dokumentima, u praksi se često ne provodi.
Kao glavnu prepreku za uključivanje djeteta u medijaciju, mnogi autori navode dob i zrelost
djeteta. Stoga je cilj ovog rada istražiti kako kognitivna razvijenost djeteta utječe na mogućnost
uključivanja djeteta u medijaciju te istražiti koje metode i tehnike medijatora su prikladne za
uključivanje djeteta u medijaciju razvoda sukladno stupnju kognitivnog razvoja djeteta. Glavni
nalazi pokazuju da postoji nesuglasje u određivanju minimalne dobi za uključivanje djeteta u
medijaciju. Iako prema većini autora dijete u dobi do 3.godine života ne bi trebalo biti
uključeno u medijaciju, neki nalazi pokazuju da medijatori u radu sa djecom te dobi koriste
simboličke tehnike. U radu sa djecom predškolske i školske dobi koristi se veći raspon tehnika
kao što je to tehnika zamišljene priče i obiteljske slike, dok je u radu s adolescentima u početnoj
fazi prigodno diskutirati o temama koje nisu povezane sa razvodom braka, kao što su to teme o
sportu, prijateljstvu, vezama ili izvannastavnim aktivnostima, a u kasnijim fazama mogu se
koristiti i tehnike zamišljene priče, ali i crtanje obiteljske slike. Pri uključivanju djece u
medijaciju važna je i uloga socijalnih radnika. Naime, cilj je socijalnih radnika osnažiti
korisnike na samostalno donošenje odluka, promovirati pravo korisnika na samoodređenje te
tražiti način kako poboljšati korisnikove sposobnosti i prilike da promijeni i zadovolji svoje
potrebe.

Abstract (english)

When parents are getting divorced they make decisions that affect on the children' future.
Although the right of child to express their view is recognized in international documents, it is
not practiced often. Many researchers, as main obstacle suggest age and maturity of children.
Therefore, the aim of this paper is to research how cognitive development of children affects on
possibiliy of incuding children in divorce mediation and to research which mediator methods
and techniques are appropriate for including children in mediation according to stage of
children development. Though most researchers suggest that is not desirable to include the
children under three age in mediation, some findings show that mediator in working with
children this age use symbolic methods. In working with pre-school and school age children is
used larger range of techniques as technique of imaginary story or family pictures, while in
working with adolescents is convenient in the begining of session to discuss about issues which
aren't connected with divorce of their parent, such as sport, frends, relationships or
extracurricular activities. In further stage of mediation there can be used techniques of
imaginary story or drawing of family. Social workers also have important role in including
children in mediation. The aim of social workers is to empower clients for independent
decision-making, to promote the right of client on self-determination and to look for a way how
to improve client's ability and chances to change and satisfy their needs.
