Peran Pekerja Sosial dalam Proses Adopsi Anak di Daerah Kota Medan

Dinda Pratiwi — 2024-12-25

Child adoption is a practice that has long been known in Indonesian culture, including in the city of Medan. This tradition is carried out for various purposes, such as providing protection for children, meeting the needs of couples who do not have children, or other social and economic reasons. Even though Indonesia has regulated adoption procedures through Law Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection and other implementing regulations, many adoption practices in the field are not officially recorded. This can have a negative impact on adopted children, such as unclear status. This community service program aims to increase the role of social workers in the child adoption process in Medan City. Using a participatory and collaborative approach, this activity involves seven stages: approach, assessment, plan preparation, plan formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and termination. Assistance is provided to help prospective adoptive parents (COTA) understand and undergo legal procedures. The program results show that social worker assistance increases COTA's understanding and confidence in undergoing the adoption process according to regulations. Even though there are obstacles, such as limited access to information, this program proves the important role of social workers in supporting the success of child adoption. It is estimated that collaboration between social workers, Social Services and related parties can strengthen the implementation of legal adoption and provide optimal benefits for children who need protection.

However, many teachers at SMPN 15 in Central Bengkulu Regency have not fully understood the procedures for calculating and reporting PPh 21, which could lead to administrative tax errors. Therefore, this community service activity aims to enhance the understanding and awareness of tax obligations among teachers and school staff through socialization and technical assistance regarding PPh 21. The methods used in this activity include observation, distribution of questionnaires, and technical assistance to ensure participants' understanding of how to calculate and report taxes. Evaluation was carried out using pre-tests and post-tests to measure the improvement in participants' knowledge of PPh 21. The results showed a significant increase in participants' understanding after attending this activity. This activity is expected to serve as a model for other schools in educating their teaching staff and administrative personnel about tax obligations.
