Increased care and supervision - the perspective of social care center staff

Osnovni cilj ovog rada bio je opisati iskustvo provođenja mjere pojačana briga i nadzor iz perspektive voditelja mjere stručnih djelatnika centara za socijalnu skrb. Fokus je stavljen na to kako voditelji mjere stručni djelatnici centara za socijalnu skrb opisuju tijek provedbe mjere te koji činitelji doprinose njenoj uspješnosti. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo pet voditelja mjere zaposlenih u centrima za socijalnu skrb na području Grada Zagreba te su s njima provedeni intervjui. Rezultati su pokazali da provedbu mjere opisuju na sličan način kao u ranije provedenim istraživanjima, a i kod činitelja koji doprinose njenoj uspješnosti javili su se podjednaki rezultati. Također, s obzirom na to da se radi o mjeri kojoj je u fokusu maloljetni počinitelj kaznenog djela i koja se provodi u zajednici, za uspjeh se, uz doprinos voditelja mjere, ključnim pokazala i podrška obitelji. Isto tako, zadaća je stručnjaka koji rade s mladima (pa tako i socijalnih radnika) pružiti tim maloljetnicima drugu šansu za novi početak.The main goal of this paper was to describe the experience of implementing the measure of enhanced care and supervision from the perspective of the measure leader of the professional staff of social care centers. The focus is on how the leaders of the measure, the professional staff of the social care centers; describe the course of the implementation of the measure and which factors contribute to its success. Five leaders of the measure employed in social care centers from Zagreb City area participated in the research by being interviewed by the author of this paper. The results showed that the implementation of the measure is described in a similar way as in previous studies and the factors that contribute to its success have the same results. Also, given that this is a measure that focuses on the juvenile perpetrator of the crime and that is implemented in the community, the crucial factor for its success, beyond the contribution of the leader of the measure, proved to be the support of their family. Likewise, it is the task of professionals working with young people (including social workers) to give these minors a second chance for a fresh start
