Activities of Low-Threshold Facilities for Children and Youth from the Perspective of Social Workers
ČÁPOVÁ, Monika
This bachelor's thesis deals with activities defined in the Social Services Act No. 108/2006 Coll., and it also deals with difficulties with assembling the individual plan in low-threshold facilities for children and youth (also as the LTFCY), where there are users of social services that are both of-age and minors. This bachelor's thesis is divided into theoretical part and practical part. In theoretical part there are defined social services and concepts related with them, there is also concretization of the target group, activities of the services according to the act mentioned above and basic description of the individual planning. In the practical part of this bachelor's thesis there was used the method of qualitative research. The data was collected using semi-structured interviews with eight social workers of the LTFCY in the Vysočina region. Main goal of this thesis was to find out what activities provided by the LTFCY are the most wanted by their clients, what institutions do they usually collaborate, and what difficulties do those social workers encounter with while creating the user's individual plan. The research questions were focused on activities of the LTFCY defined by the law and also on how the users learn about the LTFCY and on the difficulties that might the social worker meet while creating the individual plan for the client. Thanks to the interviews provided by the social workers working in the LTFCY it was possible to identify the pitfalls appearing in the individual planning with children and youth endangered by unfavorable social situation. Also, the finding of how the activities defined in the Social Services Act No. 108/2006 Coll. reflect in the goals set by the clients is very interesting. This thesis might be helpful to social workers working in the LTFCY environment and workers who create internal rules, methodology, and so on, for this kind of facilities. It could also be interesting for other people working with the same or similar target group.
