Abstract

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">The article is devoted to the discussion of the formation of new competencies for candidates for foster parents (adoptive parents, guardians, trustees, adoptive parents) necessary to create conditions for family care for foster children and represent their legitimate interests. The article presents the results of monitoring by the Ministry of Education of Russia (2019 and 2022) on the activities of Schools for foster parents in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The monitoring was carried out in order to study the compliance of the activities of authorized organizations with the requirements and recommendations of federal legislation, as well as the forms of work used in the preparation of potential candidates for foster parents. The monitoring analysis is supplemented by the data of a public opinion poll conducted among the participants of the All-Russian Forum of Foster Parents (2023), which revealed a trend towards an increase in the request from foster parents to change the content of the program of foster parents' schools, and also focused on topics in insufficient detail (according to according to the respondents) presented in the training program, but necessary for the effective management of situations related to the care of orphans and children left without parental care.</span></p>
