Social policies in Croatia: Micro and Macro levels of Foster Care

U radu su prikazani i potkrijepljeni osnovni pojmovi poznavanja sustava udomiteljstva. Cilj rada bio je prikazati kako Zakonodavni okvir svoje djelovanje započinje na vrhu piramide sustava, odnosno od Ministarstva te preko Centra za socijalnu skrb, kao središnjeg tijela i koordinatora dolazi do samih udomitelja i korisnika te na taj način stvara održivi sustav koji predviđa obveze i zadovoljava sve potrebe. Naravno, uz zakonodavni okvir, za pozitivno udomiteljstvo pojavljuju se i pitanja motivacije, teorija koje pospješuju uspješno udomiteljstvo, primjeri Europske prakse i drugo. Osim toga, kroz primjer (Centar za socijalnu skrb Vukovar) cilj je bio prikazati realnu i stvarnu djelotvornost zakonodavnog okvira.The paper presents and substanities the basic concepts of knowledge of the foster care system. The aim of the paper was to show how the Legislative Framework begins at the top of the system pyramid, i.e. from the Ministry and through the Center for Social Work, as a centar body and coordinator to foster parents and beneficiares, thus creating a sustainable system that anticipates obligations and meets all needs. Of course, in addition to the legislativ framework, for positive foster care there are also issues of motivation, theories that promote successful foster care, examples of European practice and more. In addition, through example (Center for Social work Vukovar) the aim was to show the real and actual effectiveness of the legislative framework
