Integratív gyermekvédelem a szociális munka ember-, kliensképének és a szülőség értelmezésének jegyében

Abstract

The core aspect of the child welfare and protection thought focusing on the family, and channelling community resources, is that in order to preserve the unity of the family, it is necessary to widely introduce from the local community the services into the family’s life, thus mobilizing the internal resources of the family, and acknowledging parenting, as a social value. The present study examines which are the new directions in the child protection system, which are centred on social inclusion, and foresee a system of complex services. In order to perform this inquiry, we present the professional experiences of two model programs: 1) parental skill development programs; 2) phone application supporting the successful social integration of children and young adults in child care. The success of the presented innovations in child protection is further enhanced by the fact that these are initiatives built on the cooperation of several actors, addressing target group members, professionals working in child welfare and child protection system, representatives of associated fields, and decision-makers.
