1	Factors contributing to the neglect and abuse of foster children : social workers’ perspectives and suggestions Masha, Rankwe Reuben 06 August 2020 (has links) The child protection system includes foster care. Yet some foster children are neglected, physically or emotionally abused and are used to obtain Foster Care Grants. The essence of this study is to develop a thorough and comprehensive understanding from the frame of reference of social workers on the factors that contribute to the neglect and abuse of foster children as well as their suggestions about possible interventions. The qualitative research approach was applied. The researcher utilised purposive sampling to select social workers. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to gather information and data was analysed. It is clear from the findings that the foster care system needs to be reviewed to minimise or stop neglect and abuse of foster children. / Social Work / M.A. (Social Work) Abuse Neglect Foster children Foster Care Grant Contribution Perspectives Social workers Suggestions Factors Foster parents 362.76096854 Child abuse -- South Africa -- Mangaung
