The recent child centred perspective in social work theory and practice is driven by the “modernisation of childhood” which stresses the importance of a child as a subject and a citizen with his or her own group rights. At the same time children living in public institutions experience a lack of child’s centred caregiving and a lack of personal visibility. This is especially true for the disabled and ethnic minority children who are most often recipients of public care where a traditional pattern of caregiving is maintained. The author demonstrates that both groups of children experience civic disability while experiencing institutionalisation in residential care. [Article in Croatian].
