future direction and priority of family service:“Child centred, family focused and community based”
Latest Progress
ideal model of an Integrated Family Service Centre (IFSC). There were three components of IFSC i.e. Family Resource Unit, Family Support Unit and Family Counselling Unit.
In formulating the ideal model, the four principles of accessibility, early identification, integration and partnership were adopted.
In providing family service, IFSCs had to be responsive, flexible, sensitive and effective to meet changing family needs.
Significance
the change would be an evolution process with a bottom-up approach.
With the setting up of the Working Group on Implementation of Review of Family Services, and input from DSWOs, who have the best knowledge of district needs and resources, would facilitate district planning and co-ordination.

“child-centered, family-focused and community-based”
The focus was set with the objective of drawing attention to the problems faced by children in the context of the family. The emphasis on ‘child-centered’ was important, as a child in the family would be a good intervention point to facilitate accessibility of service and enable early intervention by instilling proper value at an earlier stage to strengthen the family. The principle denoted no priority in resource allocation.

Planning & Monitoring

同意婦女有其獨特需要
同意通過行動謀求社會的改變去達到改善婦女處境
女性主義對福利政策的看法(1)
批評部份婦女服務的社工為強化婦女傳統的家庭角色,無助於婦女擺脫生活的壓迫
「性別分工」(gender division of labour):傳統上「男主外、女主內」:男性的角色分配在公眾的領域,而女性的角色被劃分在「私人」(private)的領域—主要是家庭。
