Odgovornost socialnih delavk in delavcev pri izvajanju ukrepa oddaje otroka v zavod : magistrsko delo

Brglez, Darja (author), Leskošek, Vesna (mentor)

Naloga se osredotoča na odgovornost pri izvajanju ukrepa »oddaja otroka v zavod«. Socialne delavke se tekom svojega dela srečujejo z primeri pri katerih ni več drugih možnosti, kot da otroka namestijo v zavod in s tem pomagajo njemu ter njegovi družini pri reševanju težav. Glavni cilj naloge je ugotoviti kaj socialnim delavkam in delavcem v povezavi z izvajanjem ukrepa »oddaja otroka v zavod« pomeni odgovornost pri delu in na kakšne načine se le ta kaže med izvajanjem ukrepa. V teoretičnem delu naloge se bom osredotočila na tematiko etike v socialnem delu, saj je etično odločanje zelo pomembno pri izvajanju takšnega ukrepa, ki močno vpliva na nadaljnje življenje uporabnika ali uporabnice. Opisati želim tudi pojem odgovornost (angl. accountability), ker je to temelj mojega raziskovanja in bom nalogo centrirala prav na tem. Posvetila pa se bom tudi zakonski podlagi pri izvajanju ukrepa »oddaje otroka v zavod«, ter poizkušala razložiti sam namen tega ukrepa. V raziskavi so sodelovale socialne delavke, ki imajo izkušnjo pri izvajanju ukrepa »oddaja otroka v zavod«. Skozi intervjuje z njimi sem raziskala kako v praksi poteka izvajanje ukrepa in kakšno je mnenje socialnih delavk o tem ukrepu. Poleg tega pa me je zanimalo tudi s kakšnimi občutki se socialne delavke srečujejo pri izvajanju tega ukrepa. Naslednja tema, ki je tudi glavna tema magistrske naloge, je pomen odgovornosti za socialne delavke in kako se le ta kaže predvsem pri izvajanju ukrepa »oddaja otroka v zavod«. V intervjujih sem spremljala tudi primere odgovornih in neodgovornih ravnanj o katerih so socialne delavke pripovedovale. Tretja tema, ki sem se je zgolj na hitro dotaknila pa je odnos socialnih delavk do javnega mnenja, ki v nekaterih situacijah odgovornost podeljuje, v nekaterih pa odvzema. Na koncu pa sem socialne delavke povprašala še o njihovem mnenju o kodeksih etike in koliko jih pri svojem delu uporabljajo.

• Title: Accountability of social workers in implementing the measure of children's admission to the institution

Abstract

This paper focuses on the accountability of implementing measure of children's admission to the institution. In their line of work, social workers often find themselves in such casses where there are no other options left other than placing a child in an institution and thus helping them and their family cope with the problems. The main goal of the paper is to identify what does accountability at work mean for social workers involved with implementing measure of children's admission to the institution and in what ways is that reflected during the implementation of such measures. In the theoretical part of this paper I shall focus on the subject of ethics in social work, as ethical decision making is quite important in implementing such measures, mightily influencing the lives of those involved. I would also like to describe the term accountability, as it is the focal point of my research and shall therefore focus on that in particular. I will also focus on the legal foundations of children's admission to the institution and the very purpose of those measures. This research was done in collaboration with social workers experienced in implementing protective measure of children's admission to the institution. During the interviews with them I researched how does the implementation work in practice, and what is the opinion of those social workers of the measure. Apart from that, I was also interested in what feelings social workers face during the implementation of the measure. The next topic, which is also the main subject of this master thesis is about the importance of accountability and what it means to the social workers and how it is reflected through of children's admission to the institution. In the interviews with the social workers, I witnessed examples of responsible and also irresponsible actions.The third subject that I merely touched on briefly is the stance of social workers towards public opinion, as in certain situations accountability is shared and in others taken. At the end I asked the social workers of their opinion of codes of ethics and how much they adhere to them in their work.
