One of the new professions introduced into the Polish family support system that can carry out social and educational work, next to a social worker and a school pedagogue, is the family assistant. The purpose of the assistant's work is to achieve the basic level of life stability by the family, which will enable it to raise children. The basic task of the assistant is to support parents in properly fulfilling their care and educational function. Other tasks include: helping the family in solving social, psychological and educational problems, in social and professional activation, and motivating parents and children to take advantage of other forms of help and integration. The family assistant’s work is aimed at the whole family, parents and children. This article presents examples of care and upbringing activities carried out by a family assistant addressed to children and youth.

The space for debate on the role and tasks of a given profession is one of the factors serving its professionalisation and the creation of professional identity. The opportunity to exchange experiences and obtain informational and emotional support is particularly important in the case of assistance professions, where direct action with the family raises many dilemmas, especially when children are raised by parents, whose behaviour often does not favour their proper development, and even threatens their safety. The subject of the discussion is also the location of social services in relation to each other, coherence of goals, expectations and actions with and for the family. Another issue is the development of a unique work methodology for a given profession, discussing the perspectives and threats to its development. Family assistants have the forum to exchange experiences, integrate, broaden knowledge and strengthen competences. They are annual national meetings. The purpose of this study is to describe the organization and subject matter of these meetings for family assistants.

The subject of my reflection is family assistantship - a new form of family support, implemented in Poland as part of grassroots initiatives of non-governmental organizations and social assistance organizational units [JOPS], in the period preceding the adoption of the Act on family support and foster care system (act) . The appointment of a new professional role, the family assistant, in the social assistance system, or more broadly - in the context of care and assistance - was a real challenge to the current practices supporting the family in Poland: tasks, well-established forms of support, as well as the expectations and interests of helpers' professional environments, administration, local authority and other groups. The purpose of the sociological analysis of the processes of conceptualizing and implementing family assistantship in the social assistance system is to justify the thesis that family assistantship in the years 1990–2011 can be seen as a normative innovation (adaptive strategy) in social assistance and social work, which was a consequence of the revolt against the appearance of goals of social assistance and social work, and a response to the expectation of effective action, directed from various sides to social assistance, including from the professional environment of social workers, more and more active in the educational sphere. Also social policy, since the 1990s interested in the issue of the effectiveness of social assistance and social activity, has become an “external” source of inspiration for the institutional change introduced, which was the work of the (social) family assistant and its organizational model. In the presented text I am looking for answers to two questions: 1) what are the characteristic features of family assistantship as normative innovation? 2) what was the social order destabilisation in the years 1990–2011, incurred by including family assistantship in routine practices in social assistance centres? In preparing this study, I used my own research, observation and professional experience, as well as research carried out by other authors. In addition to the main goal, this article also pursues a minor goal. It is an attempt to synthesize dispersed empirical material on the subject of family assistantship, as well as the results of research relating to the processes of implementing institutional change, in an important context of care and assistance that is underrated in sociological reflection.

The modern family must find its place in a changing and dynamically functioning society. It is not possible for every family to fulfil their functions independently. The importance of the proper functioning of the family for its members and the all society as well as the identified risks and proposed forms of support dominate not only today’s research but also social and family policy. The article shows the contexts of the modern family, factors affecting its transformation and its importance for the functioning and development of the child. The purpose of the article is to show the context of the modern family, factors affecting its transformation and its importance for the functioning and development of the child. The article also shows the risk factors appearing in family functioning, especially in the aspect of parental cooperation for the child. The family assistant plays an important role in levelling them. Showing the perspective of a family assistant is also one of the purposes of this article. The article recommends mediation approach and a Parenting Plan tool that can support a family assistant in building parental competence and parental cooperation in care for child and their educational needs.
