INTERACTION SCHEME

Service on Children Affairs

Center of social support for children and families

Centre of Social Services for Families, Children and Youth

Social workers in comminities

Order of service

Accountability

Collaboration within

the case

Focus on prophylaxis, prevention (focused on methods of preservation, rehabilitation, restoration of family)

Because of a combination of services, limited period of stay, variability of contingent mobility of services the cost of service significantly lowers the cost

The flexibility of the model allows to create only those services that are necessary to residents of the community at a particular time

Decision making in the best interests of the child (an individual approach, taking into account the needs and views of the child)

The responsibility of local authorities is enhanced, community also feels its involvement and responsibility

The work focused on the result (not just a process or stay of recipients)

Services closer to the people (in the community, rather than somewhere in the region)
