INSTITUTIONAL CARE OF CHILDREN WITHOUT PARENTAL CARE IN THE P.I. „HOME FOR CHILDREN WITHOUT PARENTAL CARE“ IN TUZLA

Summary/Abstract: Caring for children whose development is endangered in their own family, and thus the accommodation/housing of a child in an institution as one of the possible forms of help and care, is a special task of the community. In most countries of the world (including our state too), institutional accommodation/housing has always been the predominant form of care and assistance, and even today. Living in institutional conditions permanently impairs the physical, intellectual, emotional and social development of a child. Accommodation/housing of children in the "Home for children without parental care" begins when, due to age, characteristics and developmental needs, it is not possible to place them in another family. This method of caring for children is applied in accordance with the provisions of the Law on Social Protection and Ensuring Social Security of Citizens. "Home for Children without Parental Care" in Tuzla as a form of institutional protection provides children with proper development and education. The educators in the Home take care of the physical and mental development of the children. Accommodation, food, clothing, social, legal and medical assistance is provided. The life of children in the Home is organized in accordance with the obligations that children have. The process of deinstitutionalization in recent years has largely transformed the Tuzla "Home for Children without Parental Care". Within the Home, the following areas were formed: Reception Centre and Shelter House, Maternity Home, Day-care Centre for Children and Mobile Team.
