Children found to be in need of care may be legally removed from their families and recommended to one of four types of placement, or management resource. (Children's Act, 1960 Sections 1(X) and, 31(1)).The study here reported is an investigation designed to determine which features of the children, their families and previous management are differentially associated with the current placement type of the child.160 children at present in care were rated on 30 factors each. From this information a composite picture was developed of the most typical child, family and previous management history associated with each of the placement types. Demographic data from the sample considered as a whole was also presented. The finding that many differences exist between groups defined by placement type was discussed in terms of relevant literature. With reference to these results and features of current management practice revealed by demographic data, some proposals were ma.de which aimed at improving the use to which available welfare resources are put. 2014-12-13T06:26:53Z 2014-12-13T06:26:53Z 1982 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/9984 eng application/pdf Department of Psychology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
