Innovative model of preventive work with dysfunctional families introduced in Tomsk oblast

New techniques in education and preventive work with dysfunctional families have been chosen as directions supported by the government think-tank Agency of strategic initiatives at the Social Initiatives working group meeting, that took place on 28 November led by Elena Nikolaeva.

The project is headed by Sergey Borzov, the programme director of Taganka children’s fund. It aims to improve the quality of social services provided to families and children at risk, to prevent social orphanhood through effective partnership between socially oriented NGOs, state organisations and civil society actors. Its main priority is protecting the rights and lawful interests of children. The model presented has many levels of involvement, based on the introduction of new techniques into the system of social organisations responsible for preventive work. One more important aspect is the educational work and further development training of the specialists working in this area and provision of supervision. This model uses the systematic approach, works on the constant basis and is supported by necessary regulations in place.
