Procedures of the Centre for Social Care under the Rules of Procedure for Cases of Domestic Violence

Nasilje nad ženom u obitelji obuhvaća sve oblike psihičkog, tjelesnog, seksualnog i ekonomskog zlostavljanja žene od strane partnera. Za unaprjeđenje zaštite žrtava nasilja u obitelji je donesen Protokol o postupanju u slučaju nasilja u obitelji. Protokol sadrži niz jasno određenih mjera kojih su se nadležna tijela dužna pridržavati prilikom pružanja pomoći i zaštite osoba izloženih nasilju. Cilj ovog diplomskog rada je opisati kako je CZSS primjenjivao Protokol o postupanju u slučaju nasilja u obitelji u prijavljenim događajima nasilja nad ženama u obitelji.Ovim istraživanjem obuhvaćena je populacija prijavljenih događaja nasilja nad ženama u obitelji u dobi od 18 do 64 godine evidentiranih u centrima za socijalnu skrb u 2015. godini. Istraživanje je provedeno na prigodnom uzorku koji je obuhvaćao 30 prijavljenih događaja nasilja nad ženama. Istraživanje je provedeno analizom dokumentacije CZSS-a.Rezultati ovog istraživanja su pokazali određene probleme što se tiče postupanja CZSS-a prema Protokolu koji se odnose na izradu plana sigurnosti žrtve, ponude smještaja u sklonište i informiranje žrtve o pravima.S obzirom na nedostatak ranijih istraživanja rezultati ovog diplomskog rada su nam ukazali vrijednosna saznanja i poticaj da je potrebno da se područje rada i djelovanja CZSS-a od strane istraživača nastavi dalje istraživati u Republici Hrvatskoj kako bismo dobili potpuniju i jasniju sliku o djelotvornosti postupanja CZSS-a po navedenom Protokolu.The violence against women in the family includes all forms of psychological, physical, sexual, and economic abuse of women by their partners. In order to improve the protection of victims from domestic violence, Rules of Procedure for Cases of Domestic Violence have been adopted. The Rules contain number of clearly defined measures which the competent authority shall follow when helping and protecting people exposed to violence.
