Abstract

Udomiteljstvo je oblik skrbi za djecu koja su iz različitih razloga izdvojena iz vlastitih obitelji. Cilj ovog rada je prikazati dosadašnje spoznaje iz domaće i strane literature o načinu na koji se provodi pripremni proces te o načinu na koji se uparuju djeca i potencijalni udomitelji. Važnu ulogu u pripremnom procesu imaju socijalni radnici čija zadaća je pripremiti dijete za smještaj u udomiteljsku obitelj kako bi se minimalizirala mogućnost nastanka traume. Uz pripremu djeteta, izrazito je važna pravovremena priprema udomiteljske obitelji jer dolazak novog člana značajno mijenja dinamiku cijele obitelji. Nakon izdvajanja djeteta iz vlastite obitelji, socijalni radnik traži udomiteljsku obitelj koja će najbolje odgovarati potrebama djeteta. Proces usklađivanja obilježja udomitelja i djeteta s ciljem pronalaska optimalnog smještaja stručnjaci nazivaju uparivanje. Uparivanje je složen proces koji obuhvaća donošenje niza odluka i na koji utječu različiti čimbenici prikazani u ovom radu. S obzirom na njegovo provođenje u praksi, također su prikazane tri vrste uparivanja. Na kraju rada opisan je način na koji se uparivanje provodi u Zapadnoj Australiji te su izneseni upitnici koje socijalni radnici pritom koriste.

Abstract (english)

Fostering is a form of care for children who are separated from their families for different reasons. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate findings from national and international literature related to different ways of matching children and prospective foster parents. Social workers have an important role in the preparation process because their task consists of preparing a child for a placement in a way which minimizes the occurance of trauma.

After the child is separated from its family, a social worker starts searching for a foster family that best suits the childs' needs. The process of balancing the characteristics of foster parents and the child with the purpose of finding the best possible placement experts call matching. Matching is a complex process which contains of making a number of decisions and it is influenced by a variety of factors depicted in this paper. In addition to a variety of factors and concerning the practice policies this paper describes three types of matching. Moreover, the paper illustrates the manner in which matching is conducted in Western Australia accompanied by different types of questionnaries the social workers use during the process.
