Evaluasi Standar Pelayanan Sosial Anak di Yayasan Panti Asuhan Talenta Delpita Kota Medan

Abstract

The orphanage is a social welfare institution that is responsible for providing substitute services in meeting the physical, mental, and social needs of foster children, so that they have broad, appropriate and adequate opportunities for personality development in accordance with expectations. Orphanages provide services based on the social work profession to neglected children by helping and guiding them towards reasonable personal development and have work skills, so that they become members of society who can live decently and responsibly, both to themselves, their families, and society. In fact, there are still many social institutions that do not meet social service standards. They take advantage of the establishment of social institutions to be selected as recipients of social assistance. Every year a lot of social assistance funds are allocated to LKS and LKSAs. Departing from this thought, the government issued a policy through the Regulation of the Minister of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia No. 30/HUK/2011 concerning the National Standard of Child Care for Child Welfare Institutions as an effort to improve the quality of orphanage services. This regulation includes 5 chapters which outline the main principles of alternative care for children, standards for determining appropriate responses for children, standards for care services and institutional standards.
