5. Closing remarks
Hiiu Valla Social Center (f ormer Kärdla Social Center) was established on
01.01.2015, by joining together Kärdla Social Center and Lauka Day
(activit y) Center.
The Social Cente’s goal is to organize, develop and off er social ser vices to
disabled people, f or children with special needs, elder ly and other people
who need that kind of service s to cope with ever yday lif e.
To f ulf ill the goals the Social Center, the Center off ers:
daycare ser vice to children wit h special needs until the end of the basic
school – f or 7 childr en;
the support person service to disabled children – f or 1 autist ic bo y;
welf are services to mentally disable grownups – f or 39 clients ;
home ser vice to elderly – f or 24 clients.
The principles and t he work of the Social Center are based on:
clients’ needs;
support ing the diff erent targets based on their special needs ;
f undamental rights of clients ;
ethical norms of social work .
The preparat ions f or EQUASS Qualit y Assurance certif icat e wer e started
approximately t wo years ago . The aim of starting to implement the qualit y
system was t o better organize and make the management o f the organizat ion
43
more systematic. The ser vices were delivered with high qualit y and were
improved all the time already bef ore, believes the general manager of the
organizat ion. The objective was to get assurance and to prove also t o the
wider societ y, th at the Hiiu Social Cent er – a small ser vice provider on the
island of Hiiumaa – is able to deliver service that corr esponds to European
Standards.
Hiiu SC is a well-managed social ser vice provider, with a strong leader in
f ront of the organization and prof essional staff delivering the s er vices. The
organizat ion was described as always looking f or new, adaptable to change
and innovative by the cooperation partners. Cooper ation part ners valued the
partnership and its product ivit y hig hly. The persons ser ved wer e ver y
satisf ied with the services that they received and with the eff ort that the
organizat ion does to improve t he qualit y of lif e of the persons ser ved. Hiiu
SC does not only think about their clients, but also put a lot of eff orts in the
teaching of t heir r elat ives and close ones and organizing events and
gatherings f or them.
Hiiu SC implements holist ic and person -centered appr oach in its ser vice
provision, taking int o the needs of both ser vice users and the societ y in
general. The persons ser ved ar e s ystem atically empowered and the aim is to
raise the qualit y of their lives. Hiiu SC has recently started to use CARe
methodolog y in client work and sees great potential in this methodolog y.
The auditor experienced on site that t he social ser vice provider Hiiu SC
perf orms in compliance with the EQUASS Assurance criteria. The

– 39 täiealisele kliendile;

Sotsiaalkeskuse tegevuse peamine põhimõte on sotsia alteenuste
arendam ine, m is läht ub:
kliendikesksest lähenemisviisist teenuste osutamisel;
erinevate sihtrühmade iseseisva toimetuleku igakülgsest toetamisest;
teenuse saajate põhiõiguste järgimisest;
sotsiaaltöö eet ikanor mide järgimisest.
Ettevalmistused EQ UASS Assurance Kvaliteedi süst eemi rakendamiseks
45
algasid ligikaudu kaks aastat tagasi. Kvaliteedi süsteemi rakendam a
hakkamise eesmärk oli parem ini organiseerida organisatsiooni tööd ja muuta
asutuse juht imine süstemaat ilisemaks. Asutuse juhi hinnangul osu tat i
teenuseid kõrgetasemeliselt juba var em ning neid täiustati kogu aeg.
Eesmärk oli saada kindlust ning tõestada ka laiemale üldsusele, et Hiiu Valla
Sotsiaalkeskus – väike teenuse osutaja Hiiumaa saarel – on võimeline
osutama Euroopa standarditele vasta vat teenust.
Hiiu Valla Sotsiaalkeskus on hästi juhitud sotsiaalteenuse osutaja, mille
eesotsas on tugev juht ja teenuseid osutab prof essionaalne personal.
Koostööpartner id kirj eldasid asutust kui alat i ettepoole vaatavat, muutustega
kaasaminevat ja innov atiivset. Koostööpartnerid hindasid tehtavat koostööd
ja selle tulemuslikust kõrgelt. Teenuse saajad olid väga rahul saadavat e
teenustega ning pingutusega, mida asutus teeb, et teenuse saajate
eluk valit eeti t õsta. Hiiu Valla Sotsiaalkeskus ei mõtle vaid ki tsalt oma
klient ide peale, vaid paneb rõhku ka nende sugulaste ja lähedaste harim isele
ning nendele ür itust e ja kohtumise korraldamisele.
Hiiu Valla Sotsiaalkeskus rakendab ter viklikku ja teenuse saaja keskset
lähenem ist oma teenuste osutamisel, võttes arv esse nii teenuse saajate kui
ka laiema ühiskonna vajadusi. Asutus tegeleb j ärjepidevalt t eenuse saajate
jõustamisega ning eesmärk on tõsta nende eluk valit eeti. Hiiu Valla
Sotsiaalkeskus hakkas hiljuti kasutama CARe metoodikat klienditöös ning
näeb selle metoodika rakendamisel suurt potentsiaali.
Kohapeal koges audiitor, et sotsiaalteenuse osutaja Hiiu Valla
Sotsiaalkeskus tegutseb vastavuses EQUASS Assurance kriteeriumit ega.
Intervjuud huvigruppide ja rahastaja esindaja ga, asut use töötajatega ja
teenuse saajatega samuti kinnitasid seda, mis välj endus nende rahulolus.
Auditi käigus oli asutusel ette näidata mitmeid häid pr aktikaid ja saavutus i
EQUASSi põhimõt ete täitmisel, eelkõige isikukeskses lähenemises, koostöös
nii Eest is kui välism aal ning innovaat ili ses mõtlem ises ja käitumises.
Kogu asutuse töötaj askond oli lahke ja koostööaldis Hiiu Sotsiaalkes kuse töö
tutvustamisel, vajaliku tõendusmaterjali leidmisel ning inf ormatsiooni
jagamisel EQUASS - i kriteeriumite täitmise kohta.
Järgnevaks kaheks aastaks l epiti kokku mõned parendustegevused, mis on
välja toodud aruande 4 -ndas osas. Ülevaade par endussoovit ustest
konkreetsete kriteeriumite lõikes on esitatud ka aruande 3 - ndas osas.
46
Parendusvaldkonnad hõlmasid asut use dokumentatsiooni paremat
organiseerim ist, kvaliteedi käsiraamat u ja teiste asutuse dokumentide
täiendamist, erinevat es valdkondades analüüside läbiviimist ning
tulemuslikkuse näitajate kasutusele võtmist, et olla enam tulemustele
orienteer itud.
Pärast indikaator itele vastam ise tõendamist, tutvud es dokumentatsiooniga
ning viies läbi inter vjuud, oli audiitor veendunud, et kriteeriumid Eur oopa
kvaliteedimärgi jaoks sotsiaalteenustes on täidetud. Audiitor sai
veendumuse, et Hiiu Sotsiaalkes kus on pühendunud oma töös kvaliteedi
