The article deals with the issues of family assistance from the perspective of working with the biological family of a child placed in foster care. Family support, implemented by assistants, consists of helping to overcome difficulties in order to prevent children being taken away and placed in a foster care environment, and when this happens, focusing on seeking change and creating safe conditions for their return. Studies cited in the text indicate that biological parents face many problems, among which alcohol addiction is the most common. The assistant, working with the family, needs to perform many tasks, the effects of which depend on the involvement of parents, cooperation with other entities responsible for supporting families experiencing difficulties, and continue supporting parents after the child’s return. The article also attempts to outline the factors that increase the child’s chances of returning to the family, considering the most important aspect that is to say maintaining contact between parents and children in foster care, and cooperation between assistants and biological families, foster families, persons running family children’s homes or representatives of care and educational institutions, and all other entities within the assistance system.

The aim of the study is to show discrepancies between the intention of the legislator and the actual functioning of solutions contained in the law on family support and foster care adopted in 2011. The article confronts selected system solutions of the Act on Family Support and Foster Care binding from 2012 on secondary institutional sources as well as research results based on literature sources. Analyzing selected legal and organizational solutions, they showed their unsatisfactory social effectiveness. The biggest problem of the current system of foster care is the failure of the available instruments as the result of the lack of a coordination mechanism and, in part, also the will to introduce them. It is all the more incomprehensible that we have not only well diagnosed needs in terms of instruments for family support and foster care, but also recommendations allowing effectively eliminate systemic dysfunctions by implementing adequate coordination mechanisms.

Writer raise an issue on inclusion and exclusion in three different levels. The firs level represents fulfiling child’s individual needs, the second level is about protection of other children’s interests and needs. Third level stends for actual social context with its own possibilities and limits. Writer points out the fact that ideology and its proclamations often don’t mach the applied proffesional solution. Experts face the pressure of political ambitions. Author gives several particular examples of “segregation” of – Romany (gypsy) ethnic minority, mentally disadvantaged children, disadvantaged children of intact popolation, international adoption. The writer is conviced that child in foster care is a part of whole children assembly and it is not appropriate to narrow the search for the optimal solution only for the child in foster care.

The purpose of this article is to present partial results of research that examined the effect of long-term stay in alternative forms of care settings (in institutional care and in foster families) on various aspects of adult life. Monitored area in the presented study was the educational trajectory of respondents. In the first part we describe the types of these forms of care in the Czech Republic, especially institutional care. The second part presents a part of the study in which an anamnesis questionnaire and a battery of psychological tests were used in order to compare a research group of adults with an experience in alternative care (n = 128) and a control group of people growing up in the original families (n = 103). The third part of the paper is devoted to results related to educational attainment, the path to it, and also mentions perspective on educational attainment despite differences in personality traits. It turned out that people who spend the whole or part of the childhood in alternative care achieve lower forms of education, have lower educational aspirations, have larg er difficulties in the school trajectory and from the surroundings receive less support of learning. From the above results follow recommendations in relation to the educational process of children placed in alternative forms of care.

While becoming independent, foster children need more than financial support only. It has been proven that even the most mature foster children reveal high levels of fear, aggression and reluctance to any kind of change in their lives in the period of a year or so before leaving the foster home. Additionally, it is observed that the number of children under foster care is constantly growing alarmingly, thus the scope of activities related to assisting them in becoming independent will not decrease. That is why NIK has audited 25 local family support centres and city social welfare centres. Moreover, anonymous surveys have been conducted among foster children at the age of eighteen and more who used assistance offered for becoming independent, and their tutors. In his article, the author presents the detailed findings of this audit.

The article deals with the issue of developing the entrepreneurial attitude among children placed in foster care. The subject is discussed in the context of the principle of subsidiarity, especially in the social aspect. Initially, the author presents the characteristics of family and institutionalfoster care. Then, she describes the essence of the subsidiarity principle in social terms. What follows is an outline of the problem of entrepreneurial attitudes among young people. Next, the author proceeds to her own research within the discussed scope. The process of a foster child’s entry into an adult life is an extremely difficult stage in his or her life, and it is also a challenge for the custodians/foster parents. Therefore, preparing for independence by developing the entrepreneurial attitude among young people is necessarily a longitudinal process.

Approximately twenty thousand children who grow up in the Czech Republic live without or outside their families. If a child does not have sufficiently safe and suitable conditions for his/her healthy development, which should be provided by his or her own family, the state has the obligation to maintain alternative care for such citizens. Substitute care is provided by substitute family care (also known as foster care) or institutional care. The aim of the article is to analyse the impact of social work practice that deals with children and teenagers. The analysis includes the comparison between two countries – Poland and Denmark which both provide social care in the form of foster care (also for vulnerable children). In recent years, the social care system for vulnerable children has undergone significant reforms and it is still dynamically developing. The transformation of the system in the Czech Republic, which was carried out by the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs and with other ministries including the Ministry of Interior, made a significant contribution to the development. The analysis of historical development of the foster care system, the phenomenon of neglection and its genesis, mental deprivation of children through neglection are also widely discussed in the work.

In this paper there are presented the key aspects of changes in the foster care system in Poland. The applied research approach, focused on the institutional aspects of system development, was inspired by the assumptions of the concept of path dependence. Consequently, in each of the periods of analysis (Second Polish Republic, Polish People’s Republic, Third Polish Republic) special attention was paid to starting situation, which is the basis for the further development of the institution. The author notes that the dynamics of institution development in each of the analyzed periods was in many aspects similar: it consistently went from institutional to family forms of foster care.

Zastosowane podejście badawcze, skupione na instytucjonalnych aspektach rozwoju systemu, inspirowane jest założeniami koncepcji trajektorii rozwojowych (path dependence). W konsekwencji w każdym z okresów analizy (II RP, PRL, III RP) szczególną uwagę poświęcono m.in. sytuacji wyjściowej, będącej podstawą dla dalszego rozwoju instytucji. Autor zauważa, że dynamika rozwoju instytucji w każdym z analizowanych okresów była w wielu aspektach zbliżona: konsekwentnie zmierzała od instytucjonalnych do rodzinnych form pieczy zastępczej.

The article presents the comparison of family and institutional foster care in Poland in terms of the effectiveness of care and economic efficiency. The presented results of studies show the superiority of foster families on institutional arrangements in the two mentioned dimensions: family foster care is less expensive than institutional 2–3 times, and its effects on psychosocial development charges are much higher.

Zadaniami własnymi powiatu są m.in. zadania w zakresie wspierania rodziny i systemu pieczy zastępczej. Obowiązek organizacji pieczy zastępczej przez tę wspólnotę samorządową wyrażony został expressis verbis w ustawie o wspieraniu rodziny i systemie pieczy zastępczej, a następnie uwydatniony w art. 32 ust. 2 tej ustawy. Przy czym jego realizacja powinna odbywać się zgodnie z zasadą pomocniczości, zwłaszcza gdy przepisy ustawy przewidują możliwość zlecania wykonania zadań przez organy jednostek samorządu terytorialnego. Zauważyć należy, że na gruncie powołanego aktu prawnego zdefiniowane zostało pojęcie systemu pieczy zastępczej. Zgodnie z wolą ustawodawcy oznacza ono zespół osób, instytucji i działań mających na celu zapewnienia czasowej opieki i wychowania dzieciom w przypadkach niemożności sprawowania opieki i wychowania przez rodziców. Sprawowanie pieczy zastępczej, zarówno instytucjonalnej, jak i pozainstytucjonalnej, wywołuje szereg skutków finansowych, zarówno dla podmiotu organizującego, jak i wykonującego tę pieczę. Aspekty prawnofinansowe pieczy zastępczej można zatem podzielić na takie, które dotyczą świadczeń otrzymywanych przez jej faktycznego wykonawcę, oraz na dotyczące zasad jej finansowania. Te ostatnie stanowią przedmiot analizy podjętej w opracowaniu

District (powiat) own tasks include among others tasks to support the family and the foster care system. The obligation to organize foster care by the self-governing community was expressed expresis verbis in the Act on family support and the foster care system, and then enhanced in Article 32 section 2 of this Act, whereby its implementation should be in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, especially when the provisions of the Act provide for the possibility of local government bodies commissioning the execution of tasks to other entities. It should be noted that the concept of the foster care system was defined under this act. According to the will of the legislator it involves a group of persons, institutions and actions to provide temporary care and education of children in cases of inability to exercise the care and upbringing by the parents. The exercise of foster care, both institutional and non-institutional, produces a range of financial consequences, both for the entity organizing the care and one exercising it. Legal and financial aspects of foster care can therefore be divided into those that relate to the benefits received by the entity actually performing it and to the terms of its financing. The latter are the subject of the analysis undertaken in this study
