The present Master Thesis analyses the possibilities of social support for a disabled child in the family at social risk in the perspective of children’s rights. The family at social risk with a disabled child encounters not only the problems related to the child’s health care problems but the social problems as well. The range of the family problems is very wide and includes almost areas of life; therefore these families need social support helping to restore the normal functioning of the family and ensuring the socialization of a disabled child. The work follows a family systems approach which is based on the idea that all family members are interrelated, so the problems that affect one member of the family in the same time affect other members as well. The aim of the research is to reveal the possibilities of social support for a disabled child in the family at social risk in the perspective of children’s rights. In order to deeper reveal the possibilities of social support for a disabled child in the family at social risk in the perspective of children’s rights, a qualitative study was performed. 10 social workers working with the families at social risk and 5 families at social risk (mothers) participated in the research. Semi-structured interview survey method was applied and it was found that the families at social risk with a disabled child do not ensure the protection of children’s rights in the family and do not cover all possibilities of social support. This work found out that due to the disrupted socialization a disabled child grows emotionally unstable, has no self-confidence, the safe environment is not ensured, the model do aggressive behaviour is formed. The violation of children’s rights in the family instils the child the complex of inferiority that affects relationships with peers and the outside world. Basing on the conclusions of the research it can be assumed that the family at social risk with a disabled child lack social skills and as a result the socialization of a disabled child is disrupted, the protection of rights is violated. |
