| Zusammenfassung: | This article examines the complex landscape of social care detention in Slovenia, exploring both the normative framework and practical applications within the system. The study integrates a thorough legal analysis with comprehensive qualitative research, drawing on interviews and discussions with key stakeholders involved in the social care detention process. We scrutinise the balance between human rights safeguards and the operational challenges of the law, the influence of psychiatric expertise over legal proceedings, and the societal attitudes towards deinstitutionalisation. The findings reveal a significant discrepancy between theoretical intentions and practical enforcement, highlighting an over-reliance on psychiatric assessments that might sideline comprehensive legal oversight. Moreover, despite legislative mandates that position social care detention as a measure of last resort, a stark lack of viable alternatives persists, complicating efforts towards deinstitutionalisation. This paper underscores the need for further research, particularly within the Slovenian context, where literature is sparse, to better understand and reform practices surrounding the detention of some of society’s most vulnerable individuals. Through a multidisciplinary approach, this research contributes to reevaluating the systems in place, advocating for enhanced legal and procedural reforms that align more closely with human rights standards. Članek obravnava kompleksno področje varovanih oddelkov v socialno varstvenih zavodih v Sloveniji. Študija vključuje temeljito pravno analizo in obsežno kvalitativno raziskavo, ki temelji na intervjujih in razpravah s ključnimi deležniki, vključenimi v postopek namestitve v varovane oddelke. Preučuje ravnovesje med varovanjem človekovih pravic in operativnimi izzivi zakona, vpliv psihiatrične stroke na pravne postopke in stališča sogovornikov do dezinstitucionalizacije. Ugotovitve razkrivajo pomembno neskladje med teoretičnimi nameni in praktičnim izvajanjem ter poudarjajo pretirano zanašanje na psihiatrične ocene, ki lahko pravne vidike potisnejo na rob. Poleg tega kljub zakonodajnim načelom, ki zaprte varovane oddelke postavljajo kot ukrep ultima ratio, obstaja očitno pomanjkanje izvedljivih alternativ, kar otežuje prizadevanja za dezinstitucionalizacijo. Članek poudarja potrebo po nadaljnjih raziskavah, da bi bolje razumeli in omogočili preoblikovanje praks, ki obkrožajo zapiranje nekaterih najbolj ranljivih posameznikov v družbi, zlasti v slovenskem kontekstu, kjer je literature izjemno malo. S pomočjo multidisciplinarnega pristopa ta raziskava prispeva k ponovnemu vrednotenju obstoječih rešitev in se zavzema za vsebinske ter postopkovne reforme, ki bodo bolje usklajene s standardi varovanja človekovih pravic. |
