Factors contributing to the neglect and abuse of foster children : social workers’ perspectives and suggestionsMasha, 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)

Dealing with sexually abused children: a framework for social workers in the South African justice systemMakhubu, Lindiwe Yvonne 12 1900 (has links)
The South African Justice System is a broader system that brings law and order to society. This law and order also includes the constitutional rights of the sexually abused children. A special court dealing with cases of children who are sexually abused is functioning throughout the country.
The purpose of this study is to develop a framework for social workers working with children in these special courts. The problem identified is that in these courts no framework exists for social workers focusing on the guidance of the child through the processes of the Justice System. This includes the therapeutic guidance by means of brief or directive therapy.
The research methodology for this study focused on developmental research by using the Intervention research model of Rothman and Thomas (1994). The phases implemented in the study were Problem analysis and project planning, information gathering and synthesis and design.
Qualitative data was gathered by means of semi-structured interviews and integrated in phase two of the research report. A proto-type guideline was developed and needs to be evaluated in future research. / Social Work / M.Diac. (Play Therapy)

Gemeenskapsopvoeding met betrekking tot die beveiliging van die kleuter teen seksuele mishandeling in 'n hoë risikogebiedVan den Heever, Claudi 30 November 2007 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / The researchers' own interaction with the community caused her to recognize that the safety of pre-schoolers and toddlers in high risk areas are being jeopardised because sexual education is not applied soon enough. The aim of this research study was to determine the needs of role-players in the high risk area in terms of community education regarding the safety of pre-schoolers.
A quantitative approach was followed, which focussed on applied research and the exploratory and descriptive objectives of the research in order to facilitate a better understanding of the research phenomenon and to understand the specifics of the situation. The Randomised Cross-sectional Survey design was implemented. The analysed findings were presented graphically and interpreted in order to reach conclusions and present the recommendations of the study.
The general conclusion based upon the empirical findings of the study is that there is a great need for community education regarding the safety of pre-schoolers in the high-risk area, Danville. / Social Work / M. Diac. (Play Therapy)

Assessering van die kind in die statutêre proses: `n gestaltbenaderingVerster, Blanche 30 November 2004 (has links)
Summary in Afrikaans and English / Although the rights of children in South Africa are being regulated by legislation, statistics prove that statutory services on behalf of children annually increase. Scientific accountable information regarding the child can be obtained by the assessment of the child. The purpose of this investigation was to identify the gaps in the existing assessment guidelines, as well as the needs of social workers regarding assessments. The sequential exploratory strategy was utilized, as quantitative data supported qualitative findings.
The investigation showed that minimal assessment literature is available in South Africa and internationally, although assessment is the basis evidence of the social worker. The biggest gap in assessment guidelines is that assessment does not carry weight in the court. There is a need for social workers to be trained in relevant assessment skills based on a specific frame of reference.
Gestalt therapy can provide a suitable theoretical frame of reference for assessment, and can serve as scientific foundation for social workers during the statutory process. A framework for an assessment guideline was thus proposed. / Ten spyte daarvan dat die regte van kinders in Suid-Afrika deur wette gereguleer word, bewys statistiek
dat statutere dienste aan kinders jaarliks toeneem. Wetenskaplik verantwoordbare inligting ten opsigte
van die kind kan bekom word deur die kind te assesseer. Die doel van hierdie ondersoek was om
leemtes wat in bestaande assesseringsriglyne is vas te stel, asook die behoeftes wat by maatskaplike
werkers ten opsigte van assessering bestaan. Die opeenvolgende verkennende strategie is tydens
hierdie ondersoek gevolg, aangesien kwantitatiewe data gebruik is om die kwalitatiewe bevindings te
ondersteun.
Die ondersoek het getoon dat min literatuur ten opsigte van assessering in Suid-Afrika en internasionaal
beskikbaar is, ten spyte daarvan dat assessering die basis van die getuienis van die maatskaplike
werker vorm. Die grootste leemte wat in assesseringsriglyne ge'identifiseer is, is die feit dat assessering
nie gewig in die hof dra nie. 'n Behoefte ten opsigte van opleiding in toepaslike assesseringsvaardighede
vanuit 'n spesifieke teoretiese verwysingsraamwerk bestaan.
Gestaltterapie kan 'n teoretiese verwysingsraamwerk vir assessering bied en kan dien as wetenskaplike
fundering vir optrede van maatskaplike werkers tydens die statutere proses. 'n Raamwerk vir 'n
assesseringsriglyn is voorgestel. / Social Work / M. Diac. (Play Therapy)

Guidelines for alternative caregivers to enhance attachment with the traumatised childNieuwoudt, Judith 06 1900 (has links)
This thesis focuses on the development of Gestalt guidelines for alternative
caregivers to enhance attachment with the traumatised child. The researcher
made use of the intervention research process, consisting of six phases. For the
purpose of this study of limited scope, the intervention research process was
completed up to step one of the fourth phase. The target group in this study was
alternative caregivers of traumatised children where attachment difficulties
existed. `Alternative caregivers' refers to people who provide care to these
children, either on a voluntary basis or professionally. Focus groups, field notes
and observation were used as data collection method, and Creswell's spiral was
used to analyse data. Not all aspects regarding attachment were covered in this
study and only relevant Gestalt principles were discussed. Gestalt guidelines with
an observational system were finally developed. The views of the respondents,
those of experts and a literature review were incorporated into the guidelines, as
well as some functional elements of existing treatments. / Practical Theology / M. Diac. (Play Therapy)
