Children in group homes : a survey of wards of the Children's Aid Society living in these units, Vancouver 1954.Coppock, Audrey Mary January 1955 (has links)
This study is part of a survey of all wards of the Children's Aid Society of Vancouver, B.C. who were not in foster homes in 1954. Those in Agency group homes or subsidized boarding homes comprised a group of thirty-nine children, eighteen girls and twenty-one boys, ranging in age from one month to fifteen years. The purpose of the study was to determine some of the reasons for this type of care for children, since the Children's Protection Act requires children be placed in foster homes and puts limitations upon any other type of care. The case records of these children were examined to determine whether or not this type of care was meeting their needs. Further, it examined the existing resources in Vancouver for child care to see if they were adequate to meet the needs of all children in care.
From the records for each child certain material has been summarized (appendix) and developed for descriptive use in the text. A detailed summary of case records of four of the children is also used to point out areas that need special attention in any child welfare programme.
Many factors in the lives of these children appear to have contributed to a special placement other than foster homes. Each child has come from a home that does not constitute a stable family unit. Many had several foster home placements. The majority came into care before the age of seven years. Group homes are meeting the needs of some, but not all such children. In particular, the needs of disturbed children are not being met as adequately in group homes. The needs of babies do not seem to be best served in subsidized boarding homes which in effect are institutions.
In general, there is evidence that community services are not adequate to meet the needs of all children in care in Vancouver. The recommendations include the provision of additional services to meet the needs of children as well as further co-ordination and co-operation between existing resources so that together they may offer better service to children. Additional trained staff are needed. And, finally, the study reinforces the need for further research into child dependency. / Arts, Faculty of / Social Work, School of / Graduate

'n Ondersoek na die verskynsel van drostery vanaf Tenterden Plek van Veiligheid en Bewaring, met verwysing na maatskaplike werk perspektiewe in hierdie verbandFitschen, Elizabeth January 1990 (has links)
Includes bibliography. / Die navorser het gepoog om vas te stel of drosgedrag in assosiasie met sekere veranderlikes plaasvind, dus of daar tendense bestaan. Die veranderlikes van belang vir die maatskaplike werk professie het voorkeur gekry in die studie. Die doel hiervan was om aan te toon dat hierdie professie 'n rol kan speel ten opsigte van hierdie gedrag. Die studie is beperk tot een inrigting, naamlik 'n plek van veiligheid. Tendense oor 'n 10 jaar tydperk, 1980-1989, is bestudeer sodat moontlik ook die invloed van personeelaangeleenthede en verskille in die bestuur van die inrigting indentifiseer kan word. Die data is vanuit argiefrekords, soos die persoonlike leêrs, straf-, opname-, en drostersregister, verkry. Ongestruktureerde onderhoude met die personeel het addisionele inligting verskaf. Oor sekere van die data is gegewens van die totale drosterpopulasie oor 10 jaar ingewin (N=492). Ander gegewens is vanuit die beskikbare persoonlike lêers (nl=413) verkry. Nie alle lêers het die verlangde gegewens beskikbaar gehad nie, en vir sekere gegewens is data vir kleiner groepe drosters ingewin. Hierdie gegewens is getabuleer, en waar van toepassing, is van grafieke of histogramme gebruik gemaak. Uit die resultate kon die volgende afgelei word: die omvang van die probleem is wyd en regverdig navorsing. 'n Hӧer drossyfer word in die maande van Februarie, Maart en November gevind. Daar is nie 'n tendens om op sekere dae van die week meer as ander dae te dros nie. Die meeste drosters dros binne 'n kort tyd na opname, en dros dan slegs enkele male van korte duur. Meer seuns dros as dogters. Die meeste drosters val binne die ouderdomsgroep 14-16 jaar en hierdie groep is ook vir die hoogste aantal drosinsidente verantwoordelik. Die meerderheid drosters dros in groepe, en in die geselskap van 'n ervare droster wanneer hulle die eerste maal dros. Die meeste drosters het 'n geskiedenis van wegloop- of drosgedrag. Die I.K. van drosters is ietwat laer as die van die normale bevolking, en hulle is ook meestal skolasties vertraag. Die meeste drosters meld mees gereeld hulle ongelukkigheid by die veiligheidsplek as 'n rede vir dros. Daar word tydens drosinsidente meestal huiswaarts gedros. Uit die resultate kon dus afgelei word dat, hoewel drosters waarskynlik ook emosionele probleme het, omgewingsfaktore 'n rol speel by drostery. Die belangrike implikasie van die bevinding is dat drostery deur omgewingsmanipulasie verminder behoort te kan word, en dat die maatskaplike werk professie 'n belangrike rol in die opsig kan speel.

Educational distress of the streetchildVan Rensburg, J C Janse January 1994 (has links)
SUBMITTED IN FULFILMENT
OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE
DEGREE OF
DOCTOR EDUCATJONlS
IN THE
FACULTY OF EDUCATION
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY
AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF ZULULAND, 1994. / The aims of this investigation were:
to describe the life-world of the child in a squatter environment as it reveals itself in his relations to himself, to others, to things/ideas and to God; and
in the light of the findings obtained from, the literature study and interviews, to establish certain guidelines according to which accountable support can be instituted in order to meet the needs of the children in a squatter environment.
As an introduction a literature study is given which describes the conditions that prevail in squatter areas. From a psychopedagogical perspective the squatter child finds himself in a situation of dysfunctional education mainly because he goes through life without the help and guidance of a responsible parent or adult. This results in the psychic life of the squatter child being under-actualised. The lack of responsible adult intervention and guidance, which is based on the pedagogical principles of love, trust and authority, results in the squatter child forming relationships within his life¬world which are inadequate for his emancipation. The squatter child thus fails to constitute a meaningful life-world. At present only a few social workers and voluntary organizations, such as Child and Family Care, reach out to these squatter children in an attempt to rehabilitate the families and supervise the children. The fact that the squatter child is a "child" that should be assisted by parents and the school in his process of becoming is at present often overlooked by the voluntary organizations that render support. Most of the support structures that came into existence to provide some measure of support are existing illegally under present statutory provisions. They lack the services of suitably qualified personnel and are often haphazardly organized. Furthermore they cannot cope effectively with the present situation and there is a duplication of certain services in the provision of support. In the light of the findings of this research the following was recommended:
— compulsory education should be initiated for all children between the ages of six and thirteen;
— compensatory education should be introduced in both formal and non-formal education, while informal or home education could be enriched in order to prepare children for the demands of formal or school education;
school social workers should be trained and placed at schools to assist and identify pedagogically neglected children;
remedial teaching training programmes for all teachers should receive more attention during training;
parent guidance and involvement programmes should be instituted at all schools.
welfare services should be co-ordinated to prevent duplication; and
further in-depth research regarding squatter children.

Hospitalized School-Age Children: Psychosocial Issues and Use of a Live, Closed-Circuit Television ProgramRavert, Russell D. (Russell Douglas) 08 1900 (has links)
This descriptive study utilized semi-structured interviews and observations to examine the experiences of hospitalized school-age children, and explore the potential of a live, closed-circuit television program as a psychosocial intervention. Among findings, Phase I data from 16 subjects indicates a) concern with painful medical procedures, particularly intraveneous (IV) injections, b) a desire for more information, especially concerning medical equipment, c) a variety of responses to social issues among subjects, d) the importance of activities, and e) the central role of the hospital playroom. Phase II data indicates that live, closed-circuit television can provide ambulatory and room-bound children opportunities for making choices, social interaction, participation, and information on their environment. Conclusions and implications are included.
