Supervision is an important component in social worker practice. The provision of professional supervision is crucial to ensure the delivering of better quality child protection services. The study aims to explore the experience of supervision, specifically the views of respondents on the challenges of the provision of professional supervision in facilitating best practice in child protection services. A cross-sectional design utilizing an exploratory-descriptive qualitative method is identified for this study. The respondents of the study comprise of individuals work within a statutory child protection agency and individuals from non-statutory child protection setting but within other related professional bodies and services systems in relation to child protection. Findings indicate the lacking of a structured and systematic professional supervision, poor supervision in relation to a routinized ‘technical’ operational provision of supervision as well as lack of qualified social work supervisors are some of the most challenging situations in the provision of professional supervision in child proetecion services. The findings also recognize the importance of professional supervision in facilitating and sustaining best practice in child protection services. These findings have great relevance to the organization’s human resource strategic planning and capacity building in the area of social work child protection practice. It can also be a platform and support on the need to develop a more structured professional supervision courses and trainings in the country.

Abstract

This article discusses the effectiveness of the implementation of community empowerment programs managed by Lazismu East Java in supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the management of zakat, infaq, shadaqa, and partnership (ZISKA). With a qualitative case study approach, this study identifies internal and external factors that affect Lazismu's performance, including human resources, institutional networks, stakeholder support, and applicable regulations. Although Lazismu has enormous potential in fund management and organizational networks, the implementation of empowerment programs still tends to be pseudo-community empowerment, namely empowerment that is symbolic and has not touched the root of the community's structural problems. Additional issues encompass insufficient resources, inadequate monitoring and evaluation of initiatives, and suboptimal management of socio-economic and technological impacts. This report recommends that Indonesia implement internal reforms, enhance institutional capacity, and employ macrosocial workers to develop more effective, sustainable, and structurally oriented empowerment models that facilitate inclusive growth.

Abstract

This study investigates the function of Islamic philanthropic organizations—specifically, the East Java Lazismu Representative Office—in promoting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) via community empowerment. This research used a qualitative case-study methodology to evaluate Lazismu's governance, operational issues, and program alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals, employing theoretical frameworks from Pierre Bourdieu and Jim Ife. Research indicates that Lazismu's community empowerment programs, organised around the pillars of education, health, social welfare, economic development, humanitarian efforts, and environmental sustainability, substantially advance SDG objectives, including poverty alleviation and the promotion of quality education. Nonetheless, implementation primarily retains a benevolent nature, demonstrating restricted participatory and transformative empowerment. Primary challenges encompass insufficient oversight, variable implementation of operating standards, and internal disputes concerning fund allocation. Despite Lazismu's strong social connections and collaboration among stakeholders, the empowerment process must incorporate greater community engagement and skill enhancement to foster enduring, self-sustaining growth within the community. The research emphasises prospects for augmenting effect via enhanced governance and participatory methodologies.

Abstract

Street heroin completely disappeared from the black market in 2019 in Bandung, Indonesia. This situation occurred because many heroin abusers switched to the more readily available and cheaper buprenorphine/naloxone. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors that encourage adolescents to engage in buprenorphine/naloxone drug abuse. Qualitative methodology with a phenomenological approach was used. In-depth interviews were conducted from September to November 2021 with 13 male and 4 female students as informants. The research findings showed that all research informants had a history of drug abuse since elementary and middle school. Before being addicted to buprenorphine/naloxone, informants were already addicted to drugs, some were even at the level of hardcore addiction or severe addiction. Factors that encouraged informants to abuse drugs included a negative environment at home, among friends and school, and ineffective communication between children and parents. In everyday life, apart from peers, informants also have older friends who have a negative influence. Informants also have low self-control as indicated by drug taking.

Abstract

Street heroin disappeared completely from the black market in 2019 in Bandung, Indonesia. This is because many heroin abusers are switching to buprenorphine/naloxone, which is more readily available and cheaper. A decade ago, Yayasan Grapiks—a non-governmental organization that works to reduce the negative effects of heroin—reported that 61 students were actively injecting buprenorphine/naloxone. Based on the report, researchers were prompted to conduct a study to analyze the background of non-heroin-addicted adolescents who were abusing buprenorphine/naloxone in Greater Bandung. Another objective is to explore appropriate strategies for early prevention of drug abuse among adolescents. Qualitative methodology with a phenomenological approach was used. In-depth interviews were conducted from September to November 2021 with 13 male and 4 female students as informants. The findings of the study show that all the informants of the study have a history of drug abuse since primary and secondary school. Before addiction to buprenorphine/naloxone, the informants were already addicted to drugs, some were even at the stage of hardcore addiction or severe addiction. Early prevention of drug abuse among adolescents is to create a positive environment at school and at home to prevent adolescents from becoming involved in drug abuse.
