State Interference

The foster care system implements social policy in the sphere of state welfare services for families in crisis. The aims of this article are to consider the issue of consent in regard to state interference in the sphere of the family and to appraise the functioning of the system of institutional aid and support for families in a situation that endangers the life or health of a child. The authors analyze society’s perception and reception of foster care. They present a quantitative and qualitative analysis of selected press articles published in the years 2010–2015, and then discuss the findings of a nationwide survey conducted in the first quarter of 2016. Participants in the survey answered questions concerning their familiarity with foster care issues and media communications on the subject, as well as about their possible direct contact with foster care.

The article is focused on the issues of family foster care functioning during the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic caused many significant changes and restrictions in social, institutional and family functioning and had an impact on the organization and functioning of the foster care system. The results of the qualitative research presented in this article describe the challenges and difficulties that foster care providers, organizers of foster care and supporting non-governmental organizations had to face. Conclusions were formulated, including proposals for actions to improve the functioning of family foster care during subsequent health crises and postulates for changes in educational practice and social policy.

Linguistic Means

  Creating and maintaining an imaginary bond between the journalist and readers is a communicational strategy of the written sports news discourse. Since news discourse is monologal, it has specific communicational constraints that it seeks to overcome, and the lack of direct contact between the authors and their readers is a key hurdle to cross. Additionally, sport has a notable cohesive function, and as such produces a sense of a sports community even when taken as a news subject. The imaginary bond is therefore a strategy for overcoming the discursive gap between the journalist and their readers, while at the same time reinforcing the impression of community that the subject of sports draws on. In the sports news discourse this strategy is translated through different linguistic means, such as conversational elements. Based on selected articles from the French written sports news, a qualitative analysis of texts enabled us to observe the linguistic means through which the imitation of conversation contributes to the discursive strategy of bonding. The analysis is focused on informal and interactive conversational features. It shows that such conversationalization is particularly apparent in the informal character of the discourse on the lexical and discursive levels. This adds to the seeming informality of the communicational situation, and therefore to the readers’ sense of an imaginary sports community. On the syntactic level this is reinforced by interactional elements such as rhetorical questions and other interrogatives that address the reader as an interlocutor and echo the dynamics of a dialogue. Both conversational aspects, as used in the French sports news discourse, contribute to a sense of informal atmosphere and community bond among sports enthusiasts.

Summary This article presents the results of a qualitative study whose objective was to collect information on the perceptions of changes in parents and their children who are in the Spanish foster care system after completing a positive parenting programme. Findings The participants in the focus groups included 66 parents and 57 children. Triangulation of the voices of all protagonists identified findings that suggest the need for changes regarding understanding foster care measures and the process of family resilience; the quality and content of visits and contact between parents and children; and the role of professionals involved in the case. Applications The findings indicate the efficacy of the intervention proposed in the ‘Walking family’ programme with the direct and active involvement of children as they become a driver of change for the parents. However, when this does not occur, professionals must work from a critical approach and should provide a realistic view of the family to children.

The Way

Children’s graphic works provide a lot of information about the family. A strong bond between children and their mother and father, as people providing the sense of security, is closely related to art works concerning family made by the children. The drawings presented family became the subject of this study. Collected research material was the subject of quantitative and qualitative analysis. The analyses of the drawings allowed to notice that the way of perceiving family through the prism of relations experienced by the child (e.g. reversing proportions) was additional information about the members of the family. A variety of means of expressions used by children and elements that accompanied the figures are not only evidences of knowledge on particular topic, but they also express feelings, emotions or even expectations.

Social policy primarily aims to minimise social problems, in particular the issues concerning income disparities amongst professional groups as well as regionally. One of the adopted objectives of the analysed policy is the financial support for households, including guaranteeing a sense of security, especially in terms of income. The subject of the study was to assess the effectiveness of social policy implemented in Poland on the example of a rural municipality. The study attempts to indicate the measurable effects of a social policy instrument implemented in Poland, specifically the “Family 500+” programme. The programme supports families by improving their financial situation. In addition, according to its creators, the objective of the programme is to increase the birth rate in Poland. The imperfections of the analysed social policy instrument are also noticeable. It negatively affects the employment situation in the country, particularly for women. However, in most cases, the “Family 500+” programme is positively rated by the beneficiaries. Based on the results of the conducted study, it cannot be concluded that the “Family 500+” programme contributes to the increase in the birth rate, while the costs of its implementation may contribute to limiting the cofinancing of other areas of life, ones that are desired by the society to the same degree (education, health care, public infrastructure).

To the Editor.— Schor's article, "The Foster Care System and Health Status of Foster Children" (Pediatrics 1982;69:521) may well prove to be a landmark paper in social pediatrics. The related editorial by Sokoloff (Pediatrics 1982;69:649) provided invaluable advice as to how we, as pediatricians, can better serve children in foster care. One point in Sokoloff's editorial particularly caught my attention. He expressed the hope that pediatricians providing health care to the natural children within the family would also be willing to attend the needs of the foster child and that the fact that in some states Medicaid is responsible financially for these children would not deter the physician from doing so.

Care System

In accordance with the Act on supporting the family and the foster care system, up to 14 children may be placed in the educational care facility at the same time. The facilities that opened before 2012 and were able to offer 30 places to their pupils until then, were given an 9-year transition period to adjust to the new requirements. The deadline for adjusting to these transformations expires on January 1, 2021. What seems significant is the question of what the process of adaptation to these changes looks like in the facilities that have not met these requirements yet, especially in the current situation of coronavirus pandemic, which significantly impedes any activities. Legal regulations, statistical data were analysed, and articles regarding the institutional care transformation published on websites were reviewed. It turns out that many local authorities have left to carry out organizational changes to adjust to new standards at the last moment, while the family ministry does not plan to extend the transition period which is due to expire in December this year.
