DECLARATION
Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs of the Slovak Socialist Republic
of 27 April 1973
implementing certain provisions of the law on foster care
The Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs of the Slovak Socialist Republic provides, pursuant to § 22 (2) of Act No. 50 / 1973 Coll., on foster care ("the Act '), in agreement with the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs and with other participating central bodies:
Children suitable for foster care
(K § 2 (1) of the Act)
(1) Regional national committees, in cooperation with local (urban) national committees, health and school institutions, ensure an overview of children whose interest requires them to be entrusted to foster care. They take particular account of children:
(a) whose upbringing parents cannot properly ensure in the long term due to their physical, mental or moral condition;
(b) whose parents do not live;
(c) whose guardian appointed by the court has no obligation to personally ensure the care of the child in the long term, if it is not possible to achieve the adoption of these children and is not suitable for them for constitutional education.
(2) The County National Committees shall keep a list of children eligible for foster care who are resident in their district.
Citizens eligible to become foster parents
(K § 3 and § 18 paragraph 1 of the Act)
Regional national committees, in cooperation with local (urban) national committees, seek citizens to become suitable foster parents and keep a list of them. Before entering the list, the District National Committee shall examine all the circumstances relevant to the assessment of the citizen's capacity to perform foster care, in particular his / her personal, family and housing conditions, civil integrity, employment and social relationship, the ability to raise children, and shall determine whether his / her health and the health of his / her family members do not contradict the purpose of foster care. Where appropriate, the district national committee shall request the expertise of health and school establishments.
Synergy of regional national committees
If the district national committee cannot recommend that a child be given foster care to appropriate citizens in its district, or if it is not in the interest of the child to be entrusted to the foster care of a citizen in that district, it shall inform the superior regional national committee, which shall assess the possibilities of giving the child to the education of the citizen suitable for foster care in the district of another district national committee, or agree with another regional national committee to entrust the child to foster care in the district of another region. A similar procedure applies if the District National Committee cannot recommend an appropriate child to foster care to an appropriate citizen in its district.
Continuous preparation of the child for future occupation
[K § 5 (2) (a) of the Act]
The continuous preparation of the child for the future occupation shall be assessed for the purposes of the law in accordance with the rules on sickness insurance applicable to workers in employment. 1)
Own income of the child
(K § 5 (5) of the Act)
The child's own income means salary (remuneration, compensation for wages) and other recurring income belonging directly to the child. The child's own income shall not include income that is not included in this income under the occupational health insurance legislation (2) and maternity allowance (3).
Reward of foster parents in special establishments
(Articles 12 and 22 (2) of the Law)
(1) A foster parent who carries out foster care in special establishments, provided that they are set up and managed by the National Committee, shall be remunerated by the District National Committee for the performance of foster care and for all the work related to this within the range of 1000 CZK to 1700 CZK per month. In determining the level of remuneration, it shall take into account in particular the number of children not exceeding eight children, their age, health status and mental level. In cases of extreme difficulty in educational tasks linked to foster care, the district national committee may increase the remuneration by up to 300 CZK per month. The remuneration may not be less than the remuneration provided for under Sections 8 and 9 of the Act.
(2) Where foster parents are married together, the national committee shall determine the remuneration for each of them separately so that the remuneration of both of them does not exceed the total remuneration fixed in accordance with paragraph 1.
(3) The remuneration shall be granted to the foster parent for the period during which he carries out foster care. The remuneration shall also be paid for the period of incapacity for work instead of sick leave, but for a maximum period of one month. At the end of the sickness payment, the proportion of the monthly remuneration shall be fixed for all calendar days except on Sundays.
(4) The remuneration shall be paid monthly in advance of the payment dates set for the staff of the national committee.
Supervision of foster care
(Paragraph 18 (3) of the Law)
(1) The District National Committee oversees the performance of foster care through its childcare staff. The authorised worker regularly visits the foster home and personally testifies to the development and upbringing of the child as well as to the circumstances in which the child lives. The Regional National Committee shall also monitor developments through an advisory service composed of experts, in particular psychologists, pedopsychologists and pediatricians.
(2) The District National Committee provides the foster father with all-round assistance needed to ensure favourable physical and mental development of the child and helps to remove obstacles to favourable development.
(Paragraph 18 (4) of the Law)
The county national committee responsible for supervising the performance of foster care shall also monitor whether the foster parent is making a contribution to the child's needs in the interests of the child. It may therefore require a foster parent to keep simple records of income and extradition and to keep the necessary documents for that purpose.
