Modelo metodológico para la selección de familias acogientes.

Abstract

The present work intends to propose a methodological model so that the social workers, linked to protection institutions that provide the measure of foster care, can carry out the selection process for foster families. This model was based on a diagnosis of a successful foster family in order to identify in that family, the positive factors that affect the good performance of that foster family, and therefore in it the guarantee of children's rights. This model starts from understanding that the intervention of social workers responds to a process logic. Therefore part of understanding that not all families can have the social, economic, personal conditions to provide family care to children and adolescents. In addition to looking for healthy growth spaces, the objective is to reduce the time in an institution, looking for suitable families for their care and protection. The model also recognizes the importance and ethical responsibility of making a good selection of foster families, since the foster family cannot revictimize the child, on the contrary it must restore the rights and help to enhance the development of the child, or Teen.
