Abstract

Uloga socijalnog radnika ključna je u osiguravanju dobrobiti djeteta tijekom njegovog bivanja u alternativnoj skrbi. Socijalni radnik provodi detaljnu procjenu potencijalnih udomitelja kako bi utvrdio njihovu prikladnost za brigu o udomljenoj osobi. Ovo uključuje provjeru pozadine, financijske stabilnosti, zdravstvenog stanja te obiteljskih i osobnih okolnosti. Također pružaju obuku i edukaciju budućim udomiteljima o specifičnim potrebama udomljene osobe, pravima i obvezama udomitelja te načinima podrške udomiteljstvu. Socijalni radnici pružaju kontinuiranu podršku udomiteljima tijekom procesa udomljavanja, uključujući pomoć u administrativnim procedurama, posredovanje s drugim službama i organizacijama te emocionalnu podršku udomiteljima i udomljenoj osobi. Nakon što se dijete udomi, socijalni radnik provodi redovito praćenje udomiteljske situacije kako bi osigurao da se sve odvija u skladu s pravilima i da su potrebe udomljene osobe zadovoljene. Ovo može uključivati redovite posjete, procjene okruženja u kojem živi udomljena osoba te potporu u rješavanju eventualnih problema ili izazova. U slučaju problema ili kriznih situacija, socijalni radnik djeluje kao posrednik između udomitelja, udomljene osobe i drugih relevantnih strana (poput sudova ili drugih službi). Njihova uloga je osigurati sigurnost i dobrobit udomljene osobe te pomoći u rješavanju problema koji se mogu pojaviti. Socijalni radnici često surađuju s drugim zdravstvenim, obrazovnim i socijalnim profesionalcima kako bi osigurali sveobuhvatnu podršku udomljenoj osobi i njenim udomiteljima.

Abstract (english)

The role of the social worker in foster care is crucial in ensuring the well-being of the child or adult who is in the process of being adopted. A social worker conducts a detailed assessment of potential foster parents to determine their suitability to care for the foster person. This includes background checks, financial stability, health status and family and personal circumstances. They also provide training and education to future foster parents about the specific needs of the foster person, the rights and obligations of the foster parent, and ways to support foster care. Social workers provide continuous support to foster parents during the adoption process, including assistance with administrative procedures, mediation with other services and organizations, and emotional support for foster parents and the fostered person. After the person is adopted, the social worker carries out regular monitoring of the foster situation to ensure that everything is going according to the rules and that the needs of the adopted person are met. This can include regular visits, assessments of the environment in which the fostered person lives and support in solving any problems or challenges. In case of problems or crisis situations, the social worker acts as an intermediary between the foster parent, the fostered person and other relevant parties (such as courts or other services). Their role is to ensure the safety and well-being of the adopted person and to help solve problems that may arise. Social workers often collaborate with other health, education and social care professionals to provide comprehensive support to the foster person and their foster parents.
