Abstract

ATTEMPTING TO PROVIDE SUBSTITUTE PARENTAL CARE WITHIN A FRAMEWORK DESIGNED FOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING WAS FOUND TO REDUCE THE QUALITY OF PASTORAL INTERACTION BETWEEN CHILDREN AND STAFF AND TO CONTRIBUTE TO DISSATISFACTION AMONG THE STAFF. AREAS OF CONFLICT ARE DESCRIBED AND SUGGESTIONS ARE MADE FOR AVOIDING THEM.
