The Aspects of Foster Care
VLÁSKOVÁ, Olga
In this bachelor´s thesis I deal with aspects of providing foster care, while the aim of my work is to ascertain how the foster parents are content or discontent with their rights and responsibilities when caring for children. These rights and responsibilities are defined in § 47 of act no. 359/1999 Sb., on the social and legal protection of children. Part of the aim is to learn about experience of foster parents and achievements they make in the growth of their knowledge and skills and to map experience of foster parent with taking the advantage of help in their 24 hour foster child care. In order to achieve the determined aim, I chose the strategy of qualitative research, interview method and semi-structured interview technique. The interviews were conducted with seven foster parents performing foster care or temporary foster care for at least one year and have or has had at least 2 children in their care. The evaluation of acquired data has been carried out with open coding method. The research results show that use of law at foster parents is different. The responsibilities foster parents must obey are perceived positively. There are only a few communication partners who would have a problem enabling the child contact with its biological family for the reason of very bad family relationships. Except for one communication partner all have taken or will take the advantage of long-term respite care. The anticipated benefit of this work lies in the fact that the results may be used as a source of information for specialized public focusing on the issue of foster care. The results can also serve as study material for those studying for social work degree.
