SOCIJALNA ZAŠTITA DECE I PODRŠKA RODITELJIMA: DVE DIHOTOMIJE

This paper examines the two basic models of the state authorities’ intervention into family life aimed at protecting children. The first model focuses on child protection; the second one focuses on child welfare or family support. The author analyses the differences and tensions that arise between the proponents of these two concepts, resulting in different styles ofconceiving professional social work. Further on, the author elaborates on two different approaches towards mistakes and risks accompanying social work, involving the concept of risk avoidance and the concept of risk taking. Finally, the author observes the interconnectivity between the analyzed concepts.U ovom radu se ispituju dva osnovna modela intervencije državnih organa u porodični život u cilju zaštite dece. Prvi model je usmeren na zaštitu dece dok je drugi usmeren na socijalno staranje o detetu ili podršku porodici. Autor analizira razlike između ova dva koncepta i nesuglasice koje se javljaju između njihovih zagovornika, što dovodi do različitih stilova u shvatanju profesionalnog socijalnog rada. U drugom delu rada se ukazuje na dva različita pristupa greškama i rizicima koji prate socijalni rad: koncept izbegavanja rizika i koncept preuzimanja rizika. Na kraju, autor razmatra međusobnu povezanost koncepata koji su predmet ove analize
