THE IMPLEMENTATION OF NATIONAL STANDARDS FOR CHILD WELFARE INSTITUTIONS, THE DECREE OF MINISTER OF SOCIAL AFFAIRS NUMBER 30/HUK/2011

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the National Standards for Child Welfare Institutions in Denpasar, Bali, as laid out in the decree of the Minister of Social Affairs number 30/HUK/2011. The aim of the National Standard is sustainable childcare as part of a sustainable society. The research method used is an empirical juridical research method with a statute approach, factual approach, and conceptual approach. This study is descriptive in nature and is obtained from data sources consisting of primary and secondary data. Literature has been reviewed and has been supplemented with priorly taken interviews with sources determined through a purposive sampling technique with a qualitative analysis model. The result of this study indicates that even though the Decree of the Minister of Social Affairs No.30/HUK/2011 stipulates that Child Welfare Institutions are supposed to help children by empowering and facilitating the child's family without separating the child and parents, the Child Welfare Institutions in Denpasar still accept many children who are neither parentless nor abandoned by their families. Child Welfare Institutions in Denpasar accept children entrusted to them for economic reasons or poverty. This ultimately results in the non-fulfillment of children's rights, particularly the right to have a family. Given such circumstances, it can be concluded that Child Welfare Institutions in Denpasar haven't implemented the National Standard on Child Welfare Institutions of 2011.
