Foster care in Poland entails care for a minor whose parents do not fulfil their protective and educational roles. In these circumstances, care for a child become the responsibility of specialised institutions, aiming to satisfy the child’s existential, social and emotional needs. For many years in Poland, the system isolated children from parents who did not provide adequate care. There was no attempt to work with the whole family and this emotional bond was neglected. At the end of the 90s, foster care system reform was introduced. This established comprehensive family assistance which would allow the child to function within the family. Re-integration of families became the priority, while putting a child in foster care became only one of many available options. Different types of foster care were introduced and the capacity of care providing institutions was reduced; currently they only cater for older children. As of January 1 st 2012, the rules and types of foster care and help for its adult recipients are defined by the Family Support and Foster Care System Act (here referred to as the Act). Supporting a family is aimed at reinforcing parental protective and educational abilities, limiting the necessity of removal of children and overseeing children’s safe return to their families. Removing a child from the family is only the last resort, enforced when a child’s health, safety or life is endangered as a result of environmental failure. Common causes for removal of a child from family include: parental substance abuse – 36,97% of all cases, inability to provide protective and educational care – 25,15%, loss of a parent – 8,51% and loss of both parents – 4,46% 1. According to the Act the objectives of foster care are: 1. Work with the family to allow the return of the child, or if that is impossible – adoption, or if this also proves impossible – to provide care and upbringing in a foster environment. 2. Preparation of a child for: - A decent, independent and responsible life - Ability to deal with life challenges ethically and in an appropriate manner - Establishment and nurture of close, personal and socially accepted relationships with family and peers, including relief of the effects of loss and separation and acquisition of social skills 3. Satisfaction of children’s emotional needs with emphasis on nutritional, health, education, cultural and recreational needs 2. 1 Ministry of Labour and Social Policy, 2012 2 Family Support and Foster Care Act. National Report – Poland 6 1.2 Placing a child in foster care. A child is placed in foster care following a court order, parental request or with the parents’ consent. A court rules when a child is orphaned or parental custody is limited or revoked; also, when a child’s wellbeing is endangered 3. Furthermore, it is possible to place a child in foster care based on an agreement between the foster family or the head of a foster home and the local authority (starosta). An attempt is always made to place a child in family foster care first - only if there is no such possibility are they placed in institutional foster care 4. 1.3 Foster Care Structure. Foster care structure reflects the hierarchy of Polish local government. The figure below depicts how competences are divided between echelons. Figure 1. Foster care hierarchy (own research) Assisting wards of foster care who come of age while gaining independence is solely assigned to local government and government authorities. The organizational units responsible for family support and the foster care system are branches of local government such as the: County Centre for Family Support (CCFS) or, in cities with the legal status of a county, the Municipal Centres for Family Support (MCFS). These institutions organize the foster care system and run both family and institutional care facilities. Adoption centres, regional care facilities and pre-adoptive intervention centres are managed by county authorities. 3 Family and Guardianship Code. Article 109, paragraph 2, point 5 4 Family and Guardianship Code, Article 112, paragraph 1 National Report – Poland 7 According to the Act the main tasks of the authority are: creating and implementing 3-year plans for counties on how to develop foster care, which includes the yearly limit for professional foster families providing children with foster care supporting individuals who are in the process of leaving foster care and becoming independent creating conditions for new foster families, foster homes and assistant families to emerge and function running care and education centres organizing and funding workshops for those who will be working with children and youth from foster care organizing support for family foster care, for example specialist counselling financing benefits for foster care, the process of becoming independent and workshops for those who will be working in foster care Besides CCFS, Social Assistance Centres (SAC) can provide help to wards of foster care. SACs are institutions established according to national social policy, which is aimed at helping people in difficult life situations (financial hardship, poverty, unemployment, alcohol addiction, violence, failure as a caregiver) . 1.4 Foster care structure in Poland. Foster care is elaborately distributed and can be manifest as institutional or family type care (Figure 2). Figure 2. Foster care in Poland (own research) National Report – Poland 8 1.5 Description of the figure and individual forms of foster care. 1.5.1 Family foster care Forms of family foster care are: 1. Foster family 2. Foster home FOSTER FAMILY – provides care and education for children — fully or partially deprived of parental care. Types of foster families are as follows: - kinship foster family – formed by the relatives and siblings of a child; it is entitled to child support benefits; - non-professional foster family – formed by individuals who are not related; it is entitled to benefits for each child in its custody; no more than 3 children are placed with them at a time (more only in the case of more numerous siblings); - professional foster family – besides receiving benefits for each child in its custody, also entitled to financial remuneration for foster family duties; no more than 3 children are placed with them at a time (more only in case of more numerous siblings).

  • Lokalne Inicjatywy Na Rzecz Przeciwdziałania Bezrobociu W Woj
    12 (61) 2014 Marzena Kacprzak Szkoła Główna Gospodarstwa Wiejskiego w Warszawie LOCAL INITIATIVES FOR THE UNEMPLOYMENT COUNTERACTION IN THE MAZOVIA PROVINCE Lokalne inicjatywy na rzecz przeciwdziałania bezrobociu w woj. mazowieckim In the dynamically developing market economy there is a variability in the intensity of the processes associated with the occurrence of imbalances in the labor market, which leads to unemployment. Unemployment shows the inefficiency of the labour supply and labour demand adjustment. Sizes and multiple consequences of unemployment justify its recognition as a kind of twenty-first century plague. 1 Mazovia Province is both one of the most actively developing regions and one of the largest regional labor markets in Poland. However, the region is characterized by a high degree of diversity in terms of development. On the one hand, there is highly developed capital city Warsaw and on the other - peripheral areas with worse parameters. This is why it should be aimed to perform the activities supporting local initiatives to avoid unemployment. The main thesis of this paper is to show that the local initiatives aimed at counterparting unemployment and entrepreneurship promotion, are modern instruments used to monitor and predict changes in the labor market, skills of employees, creation of new jobs, gain work experience. Introduction The labor market is a place of workforce allocation and employment decision- making, where at the same time the economic and social consequences of the functioning of the economy become exposed. It is strongly associated with the various areas of socio-economic development, which affect both the labor supply and labor demand2. Major changes in labor supply are generated through population migrations, decrease of population or population growth, activation and deactivation of the workforce.

Social and political aspects of nature conservation and environmental pollution in Świder Nature Reserve Author: Zuzanna Stępniak Examination: Master’s thesis (two year) Term: Spring Term 2014 Abstract: The research is situated in the area of Otwock county in central Poland. It is located nearby the river Świder which is protected by a nature reserve. However, environmental protection laws are not fully respected as there is a recurring problem of waste disposal taking place in forests and river. Fly-tipping in the Świder Nature Reserve is a social and administrational problem. On the one hand, it is tolerated by the society, and on the other, the personnel of the municipality seems to be unable or unwilling to face the problem. Another issue is the sewage plant that the town of Józefów intends to build nearby the river. Environmentalists claim that it might pose a threat to the Reserve’s ecosystem and its cultural values for the local community, but their arguments cannot get through in the politicized dispute between municipalities and NGOs.

  • (2013) : Services of General Interests in Mazowsze Region
    EUROPA XXI 2013, 23: 149-176 SERVICES OF GENERAL INTERESTS IN MAZOWSZE REGION – ABBREVIATION OF ESPON SEGI CASE STUDY REPORT1 DARIUSZ ŚWIĄTEK, KONRAD CZAPIEWSKI, TOMASZ KOMORNICKI Institute of Geography and Spatial Organization Polish Academy of Sciences ul. Twarda 51/55, 00-818 Warsaw, Poland [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to present the most fundamental processes related to location and accessibility of different elements of social and economic services of general interest in the Mazowsze region. In the last two decades, a process of considerable investment in the development of technical and social infrastructure has been observed, but the most important question is whether this process was similar on the whole territory of the region? This study is based mostly on the data from Central Statistical Office and from a survey conducted in 2011 among representatives of all local self-governments; it presents findings of the ESPON SeGI project. The main finding of this research concerns the distribution of services of general interests, which are concentrated in areas of high demographic density. Such services are often centralised in agglomerations and centres of counties and towns (e.g. education, health service, telecommunications, sewage, etc.). Economies of scale privilege large towns, the larger the agglomeration, the larger the incentives of service providers to serve the region. Small towns/ villages find it hard to provide services in remote areas or to maintain high quality services due to financial feasibility of such services. Key words: economic services of general interests, social services of general interests, spatial analysis, Mazovia, Poland 1.

This demand affects socioeconomic development and quality of life. However, the lack of an innovative formal, legal, and organizational structure regarding public space in the European Union (EU) is problematic; one solution could be preparing and implementing grid services as part of distributed energy solutions (based on local and regional renewable resources), and involving local public, private, and profitable entities. Autonomous energy regions (AREs) are a response to this type of problem, as they can contribute to the creation of organizational and legal tools that counteract the marginalization of crisis areas, where undesirable socioeconomic phenomena intensify (and the conditions and management of the natural environments deteriorate).
