he basic principle of child welfare is that children should be grown by their parent in their own families within the limits of possibility. However, children who face inevitable circumstances are under the custody of program services by child care institution. The age limit to abide by this kind of institution is seventeen for whole children. So each child must improve their lives on their own hands. However, many children are under adversity of exploiting their dooms due to the inferiority of their circumstance. Accordingly, this dissertation was written to describe some social support system for giving children helpful measures after residential care. The result of this research and study showed some problems and self-supporting measures of children in child care institutions as follows at the time of their independence :
First, because of the fact that even though most of children admitted to child care institution have parent or relatives, systematic family relationship management is not accomplished. So the improvement of family relationship management should be completed to return the children in residential care institution to their homes as soon as possible.
Second, more extensive and various kinds of programs must be implemented including social adaptation training, technical education related with self- supporting method and extra activities matched with interests and appetites of children in residential care institutions. In addition to this, government's political support should be completed enough to allocate budgets necessary to all these activities.
Third, the specialist of social welfare should be involved in the project and implementation of programs concerned with child residential car institutions.
Fourth, we should give an aid to continuing relations between patronage and children through effective management of supporter after children's leaving residential care institution, because the relations between them could be contributed to children's psychological stability as well as their connection to the local community.
fifth, active advertisement activities of child care institutions and opening of institutions to the outer world should be compulsory in order to eradicate social prejudice against child care institutes.
Sixth, the specialistic counselling service of children's path guidance for self-support as well as vocational training to experience a real working spot should be presented.
Seventh, the financial supporting policies should be extended as a means of fortification of social support system for the children's self-supports. This measure is to contribute retired children from institution in order to adapt to the society by means of giving a practical financial support for their self-support. Eighth, children's outlooks on their self-supporting lives and the function of self-supporting bolstering centers should be more actively. Therefore, these centers ought to try to be developed from the previous inmate and custody institution position which merely wasted budget to the social welfare ones which provide their children in custody with sound self-supporting ability.
Ninth, the provision of institutional instruction for children who left children residential care centers should be completed to connect them with institutions without discontinuity.
Finally, in the case of finding children who needs to be protected under the custody of child care institution, we should make the procedure of admission to the institution more easily enough to take early diagnosis and treatment as well as proper provision of custody service, to enable them to perform their social function to their maximum capabilities by returning them to society and family.
In the last analysis, it can be said that the real self-independence of child care institution's children might be possible by means of securing work-place, house, social adaptive ability and integral personal relationship. During this procedure, all kind of efforts from the child care centers and government fields should be added simultaneously to deal with impediment.
all child welfare service ought be provided in favor of the real beneficiary, children, who are the real subject of privilege.
