By their addressing, representatives of the project have pointed out that project activities will be implemented through several successive phases. The first step is mapping, i.e. recognition and selection of 80 persons placed in residential institutions, as well as 45 persons who are in potential risk of being placed in institution due to weak biological or foster families or they are already relocated and now are accommodated in family-like environment. The process of deinstitutionalization will be preceded by detailed analysis of obtained data, education of employed in institutions of social protection, preparation of families for accommodation, research of needs of relocated persons, raising awareness among general public and invitation to joint action. As science shows- life in family environment is the most stimulating for development, independence and functioning in the society. The feeling of family security and support is important and good base in the fight against developmental difficulties. |
The strategies of development of the system of social protection and planes for reforms represent a long process for which successful implementation it is necessary that we all act together, as well as the society in total. By implementing this project, the number of biological and foster families in which persons with disabilities would live will be increased, as well as conditions for development of new social services in the community will be created. The issue of society transformation considers each of us, so it is necessary to act jointly and create society made to measure of each person, emphasize representatives of the project.
