PARTICIPACE RODIČŮ PŘI SOCIÁLNĚ PRÁVNÍ OCHRANĚ DĚTÍ

Abstrakt

This article explores the ways in which parents perceives, experience and
negotiate participation in and interventions of child protection system. Based on
review of qualitative studies focused on parents’ views, it shows the importance of
worker-parent relationship and system-parent approach. The ways how parents
perceive workers and themselves in different moments of child protection processes is
shown to be the primary influence shaping parents’ reactions to interventions
(including decision not to cooperate).Parents who experienced helpful, participative,
respectful and relatively fair interventions tended to cooperate with child protection
workers. As a result positive engagement of parents in child protection system is
proposed.
