Development
of social services in Bulgaria is predetermined by the policies of last decades
of the last century and is characterized by a number of features arising from
the difficult transition to a market economy and modern challenges of dynamic
social and economic environment. Social services are activities targeted at
supporting assisted persons to conduct a complete way of life and full
inclusion in society. Social services are aimed mainly at social integration of
people, giving them the opportunity to lead an independent life and not to be
dependent on the service or the institution. Development of social services in
community is the key to effective social inclusion, poverty alleviation and
participation in society of all vulnerable groups. In recent years, policy in
the sphere of social services in Bulgaria is directed to development of
services in community and home to replace the institutional model of care.
Planning and implementation of national policy of reforms in child care is
directly related to children at risk and better recognition of their problems
and needs. Purposeful activities are carried out and programs are being
implemented to achieve one of the main objectives of this policy -
deinstitutionalization of children. Based on European practices and models
activities and methods of child care are successfully realized. Presented study
on the development of social services for children, with a special emphasis on
deinstitutionalization, makes analyses of the system of social services for
children as set in main strategic documents and statistical data. The aim is to
identify key processes, trends and issues and to make recommendations for
policy improvements. Main results emphasize that in order to achieve the
desired effects new approaches and measures are needed in application of
running strategies. Main recommendations are defined for implementation of
social policies for children and a conceptual framework of child care is
proposed. It is important and necessary to develop a policy that will not only
offer appropriate care for children at risk in the short term, but will also to
prevent possible problems in the future.
