Abstract [eng] Problem question of the research: what forms of support provided by CDCCs to children from social risk families are most widely developed and what are the factors that determine support expansion? Research aim is to carry out empirical research into the forms of support provided by CDCCs for children from social risk families and to identify factors that determine support expansion. The paper presents the empirical research, which included professionals from CDCCs, and its results that revealed that the forms of CDCCs support for children from social risk families depend on the objectives of a CDCC activities with the focus on the development of the child as a full member of society, his self-expression, intellectual cognitive and creative potential and teaching personal hygiene skills. In the context of these objectives of CDCC activities it has been identifi ed that CDCCs focus on expanding support in these areas: organising child recreation and leisure, guidance to homework assignments, free meals and teaching social and hygiene skills. Furthermore, it has been identifi ed that CDCC support expansion for children from social risk families is negatively affected by inconsistent (mainly project-based) fi nancing of CDCC activities, lack of access to CDCCs support in more remote areas (villages, small towns), insuffi cient cooperation between CDCCs and other institutions or organisations, direct dependence of CDCC staffi ng on central fi nancing sources, insuffi cient effi ciency of the system of personnel qualifi cation improvement and lack of information about CDCC services available to the public.
