20.500.12556/DKUM-94810 Alternative (child)care – general remarks and observations regarding placement in institutional care Alternative care is a protective measure for children unable to live with their parents due to various reasons such as neglect, abuse, or family instability. In Slovenia, alternative care is implemented when a child’s safety and well-being are compromised within their family environment. The preferred option is family-based care over institutional placement, in line with international trends towards deinstitutionalization. However, Slovenia faces challenges such as the decline in foster care availability, potentially leading to increased reliance on institutional care. Despite the efforts to promote family-based care, the need for institutional care may persist, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing a child’s best interests in either setting. Ensuring suitable conditions, including proper staffing, funding, and access to essential services such as education and healthcare, is crucial in both family-based and institutional alternative care. Regardless of the form of alternative care, the primary aim remains to offer children a supportive environment conducive to their growth and to protect their rights. family relations temporary protective measure best interest of the child gatekeeping true false false Angleški jezik Angleški jezik Neznano 2025-08-28 03:47:13 2025-08-28 09:25:01 2025-08-30 03:27:07 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 str. 65-85 no. 2 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2024-01-01 347.61/.64 246547715 10.47745/AUSLEG.2024.13.2.04 2285-6293 https://acta.sapientia.ro/en/series/legal-studies/publications-acta-legal/volume-13-no-2-2024/alternative-childcare-general-remarks-and-observations-regarding-placement-in-institutional-care 1 ebb7a80a-83b0-11f0-a712-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=196698 Pravna fakulteta 0 0 0
