Foster care is a form of child care that gives a child love, warmth, safety and care for his health and his needs. Foster care aims to raise the child in a family and family surrounding and that the child gains self-confidence and self-respect. A foster family is a family where children receive love and safety and accommodation, food, clothing premises, upbringing and education. Children are fostered because parents neglect their needs, apply sexual and/or physical violence against them, and abuse them. The social welfare center participates in the separation of children from biological parents and foster care. They are obliged to find a foster family according to the needs of the child. The center is obliged to follow the child's development and behavioral changes as long as the child is placed with a foster family. In order for foster parents to provide quality care to the child, it is necessary that they participate in various workshops and educations organized by the social welfare center or associations. In addition to workshops and educations, foster parents go to interviews with psychologists, pedagogues, lawyers, which are carried out individually and/or in a group with other foster parents. In addition to the social welfare center, support for foster parents is provided by associations operating throughout Croatia. One of the supports is the financial compensation so that foster parents can afford the child the best possible upbringing and education. Financial support in Croatia is the minimum, which is why the child cannot be provided with a quality life. As a result, there are fewer foster parents and more children in children's homes.
