Description
The goal of this Action requested by Montenegro’s Center for Social Work was to contribute to the improvement of childcare services in Montenegro. The role of the social worker is to support the welfare of the child, but before interacting directly with the child, the social worker has to manage the relationship with the parents or the relationship between the parents. Activity 1 proposed a Protocol for social workers to develop their capacity to work with dysfunctional families: guidelines for monitoring supervised visits, preparing reports for the courts and making decisions in the best interests of the child. The second activity allowed experts to showcase a compendium of good practices, mainly based on the experiences of Austria and Romania. Finally, a critical review of the training practices applied by the Centers for Social Work, and recommendations for their improvement, were formulated.
