{"title":"The Main Difficulties in the Activities of the Specialists of the Substitute Family Support Services","authors":"T.

The article is devoted to the study of difficulties in the activities of specialists of support services for substitute families. Monitoring conducted by the Federal Resource Center for Guardianship and Guardianship of the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Center for the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Children” revealed problems that are common to all subjects of the Russian Federation. For more precise identification of problem areas in the work of specialists, an additional study was conducted. The target group included 90 specialists of support services (psychologists, social educators) aged from 23 to 56 years, with work experience from 1 to 5 years. The purpose of the study was to describe the difficulties, their typology and the possibility of prevention in the work. A questionnaire based on the method of unfinished sentences was used, adapted for the study and ranking of difficulties. The results made it possible to identify common problems and difficulties for all subjects of the Russian Federation: the lack of a unified position and view on the content, goals and values of support; the lack of standards for the activities of support services in Russia; the diversity of law enforcement practice within the framework of existing legislation; the lack of uniform requirements for the competencies of specialists engaged in this activity. A separate list highlights the problem areas of specialists “in the field” insufficient level of knowledge about the family and children who are accompanied, lack of methodological literature, lack of modern methods of studying children to clarify complex problems, etc. The ways of solving organizational issues of the support services are proposed, contributing to minimizing difficulties and risks, improving the effectiveness of assistance to substitute families, including the development of criteria for choosing the form of support depending on the availability of specialists and resources, attracting volunteers to the work of thematic clubs, communication in social networks and messengers, as part of remote support.","PeriodicalId":101997,"journal":{"name":"Social Sciences and Childhood","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128705790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On March 16, 2020, the Finnish government declared a state of emergency and imposed several restrictive measures that were in effect until July 16, 2020 [13; 16]. The coronavirus and its aftermath have weakened the resilience of the Finnish welfare state, thereby challenging the welfare state’s ability to protect those most in need of its support. Recent studies have shown that the most vulnerable populations, such as children, are most affected by the negative effects of the pandemic in Finland and worldwide [5; 9; 11; 14; 18]. In autumn 2020, the Central Union for Child Welfare (CUCW) and the National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) conducted a large-scale survey among the heads of child protection authorities (15.08.—13.10.2020), the aim of which was to find out how the consequences of the coronavirus and government restrictions have affected the well-being of children and their families who are clients of child protection authorities during the fall 2020.

The target group was the category of children who are in organizations for orphans and children left without parental care on full state support, children who were transferred by their parents voluntarily and temporarily for up to one year due to different life circumstances. They are invisible to the public, since parental rights do not cease, and parents must take part in the upbringing of their children, but information about them is practically not included in any form of state statistics. The article analyzes the grounds for temporary placement of children, the average period of temporary stay, the list of services provided by organizations to legal representatives and children, the number of children returned to parents (other legal representatives), the number of children left in organizations at the end of their stay, and monitoring the reasons for abandonment, provides information on the amount of funds (by budget levels) allocated for the maintenance of this category of children. The data are presented for organizations for orphans located in the field of education, social protection and healthcare. The consequences of temporary institutionalization for the psychological development of children and the role of parents in the return of the child home are evaluated. 85 subjects of the Russian Federation took part in the Monitoring, who filled out an electronic form of executive authorities exercising powers of guardianship in relation to minors. Monitoring has shown that the majority of families who have placed a child in an organization for orphans have a difficult financial situation, are often in a socially dangerous situation, due to intra-family conflict, illness, disability of legal representatives, undergoing treatment of parents for alcohol or drug addiction; finding a legal representative under investigation.","PeriodicalId":101997,"journal":{"name":"Social Sciences and Childhood","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126368564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the context of the constant expansion of the powers of PLO specialists, the importance of special professional and methodological training of specialists of guardianship and guardianship authorities in relation to minors in accordance with the requirements of the professional standard and interdisciplinary competencies is evident. 406 specialists of guardianship and guardianship authorities of 85 subjects of the Russian Federation took part in the study. The analysis of 406 questionnaires of PLO specialists with different work experience in the guardianship and guardianship authorities was carried out. The average age of the PLO specialists who took part in the survey is 40 years. The gender composition of respondents is mainly represented by female specialists (92.2% of women with less than 1 year of work experience and 98.3% with more than 5 years of work experience). Representatives of executive authorities in the field of guardianship and guardianship note the need to update the existing professional standard of a specialist of guardianship and guardianship authorities in accordance with changes in state policy in the field of protection of the rights of minors. The most popular forms of receiving methodological assistance are: participation in training seminars, conferences, round tables, webinars; online consultations with experts. PLO specialists prefer to receive methodological support through telephone consultations, through various Internet resources; in the form of methodological recommendations; supervisors, business games, trainings, advanced training courses. The problem area remains the modern content of training programs, a multidisciplinary approach, and the constant expansion of the competencies necessary for the work of specialists. It is shown that for specialists with different work experience, their own principle of building advanced training programs with different volume and content of training for these categories of specialists should be implemented with the obligatory reliance on the case study.","PeriodicalId":101997,"journal":{"name":"Social Sciences and Childhood","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125629259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
