Thesis (MSocialWork)--Stellenbosch University, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Through the establishment of victim support centres, NICRO Eastern Cape
aims to develop community networks that render available and appropriate
support services to victims of crime. Social workers empower volunteers to
run the centres. In order for the social workers to empower volunteers, they
need to clearly understand their role in the empowerment process.
The goal of the study is to clarify the role of social workers when
empowering volunteers at community victim support centres. The profile,
motivation and current empowerment of volunteers at NICRO Eastern Cape
were determined and described by means of questionnaires. The
respondents were fifteen volunteers and three social workers.
Conclusions and recommendations were made which focused, among other
aspects, on the training of social workers and strategic planning around
empowerment. The framework of this research report can be utilized by
social workers in the empowering of volunteers, which could possibly lead
to victim support centres that are managed by volunteers, as representatives
of communities, independently from NICRO. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: By die slagofferondersteuningsentrums te NICRO Oos-Kaap word daar
gepoog om 'n gemeenskapsnetwerk te ontwikkel waardeur slagoffers van
misdaad beskikbare en toepaslike ondersteuning ontvang. Dit word gedoen
deur die bemagtiging van vrywilligers deur maatskaplike werkers. Ten
einde die vrywilligers te bemagtig, is dit belangrik dat maatskaplike werkers
hul rol in die proses van bemagtiging begryp.
Die doel van die studie is om die rol van die maatskaplike werker uit te
klaar met die bemagtiging van vrywilligers by 'n
gemeenskapslagofferondersteuningsentrum. Die profiel, motivering en
huidige bemagtiging van vrywilligers by NICRO Oos-Kaap is deur middel
van vraelyste bepaal en ontleed. Die respondente het uit vyftien vrywilligers
en drie maatskaplike werkers bestaan.
Gevolgtrekkings is gemaak en aanbevelings gedoen wat onder andere fokus
op die opleiding aan maatskaplike werkers en strategiese beplanning
rondom bemagtiging. Die raamwerk van hierdie navorsingsverslag sal deur
maatskaplike werkers benut kan word in die bemagtiging van vrywilligers
en dit kan moontlik aanleiding gee tot slagofferondersteuningsentrums wat
onafhanklik van NICRO deur vrywilligers, as verteenwoordigers van
gemeenskappe, bestuur word.
