Monitoring of Employees and its Methods
Zůnová, Petra ; Štefko, Martin (advisor) ; Morávek, Jakub (referee)
This thesis intends to offer a balanced legal standpoint on monitoring of employees from the point of view of employer's rights and interests protected by law as well as from the point of view of employees' right to privacy. The surveillance of employees is governed especially by Section 316 (1) through (3) of the Labour Code1 . However, in case personal data of employees are processed within such monitoring, the personal data protection regulation must be applied as well. This thesis distinguishes between a so-called one-time or random inspection of employees performed within the meaning of Section 316 (1) of the Labour Code for the purpose of checking their observance of ban on using the employer's production and working tools for personal purposes and between continuous monitoring performed under Section 316 (2) of the Labour Code. At the same time, it is necessary to assess whether the employees' personal data are processed as well. Therefore, in practice, four different types of inspections/surveillance of employees have to be distinguished, each of them being governed by slightly different regulation. Currently, the personal data protection regulation is undergoing the most significant changes in the last more than 20 years; on 25 May 2018, GDPR2 enters into force. This regulation will...

Accessibility and Use of Social Services by the Romany Minority in Prachatice
ZŮNOVÁ, Petra
Accessibility and use of social services by the Romany minority in Prachatice is a very topical issue. All social services provided are specified in the Social Services Act. The main mission of the aforesaid Act is to protect the rights and legitimate interests of individuals who are disadvantaged in the enforcement of their interests for various reasons. These reasons may include age, race, health handicap, critical life situation, insufficiently stimulating social environment, etc. The objective was to map social services used by the Romany minority in Prachatice. In order to fulfil the objective of the thesis, the following three research questions were put. RQ 1: What are the problems concerning which the Romany minority contacts social services organizations? RQ 2: Do the social services offered in Prachatice reflect the issues of the Romany population? RQ 3: What social needs of the Romany people in Prachatice remain unsatisfied? For the research part a qualitative methodology was used, which allowed to depict the dynamics of opinions and attitudes of all informants. The data were collected by means of a semi-structured interview technique. The research examined both the views of Romany citizens of Prachatice and the views of social workers from the local social services organizations. The data were collected from 17 informants in total. The obtained data were processed while using the grounded theory. As an important finding that resulted from my research, I deem the fact that the Romany population in Prachatice knows only nine social services organizations and uses only five of them (Most naděje, Céčko, Coolna, Lungo Drom, Phénix). Moreover, they use the social services of these organizations only sporadically or not at all. The social services used by the Romany people include leisure time activities, social consultancy, visits at schools, provision and arrangement of meals, provision of accommodation, individual planning, crisis intervention, safekeeping of valuables, financial assistance, outreach work, exchange program, indicative testing, pre-school preparation and catch-up lessons. The Romany people would welcome greater interest of social services organizations and their responsiveness. They would also appreciate more leisure time activities in their quarters, better facilities of the quarters and their surroundings, more culture for Romany people and a Romany club led by a Romany social worker. They would also welcome a Romany social worker in some other social services and at the Municipal Police of Prachatice. Informants lack contact with the majority society and better time availability of the urban mass transport and, last but not least, would welcome changes in the municipal government. Social workers would welcome a social service in Prachatice with a psychologist and psychiatrist available for children and adults, higher frequency of visits of the citizens' association Fokus České Budějovice, establishment of social accommodation facilities and a day-care centre for homeless people, social service for children up to three years, strengthening of the ground social work, and a social service aimed at hiring Romany people for temporary jobs. Based on the results derived from the interviews performed and from the data obtained, it is possible to formulate the following three hypotheses. H1: The service most used by the Romany population is social consultancy. H2: Organizations providing social services respond to the Romany issues. H3: Prachatice needs to strengthen ground social work. The findings revealed by this thesis may be used by the social services organizations in Prachatice as feedback from the Romany minority concerning the given issues. Thus the organizations can respond to the need of particular services, which may result in more frequent use of social services in Prachatice.

Evaluation of Primary Drug Prevention at Primary Schools in the City of Prachatice
ZŮNOVÁ, Petra
The title of the thesis is: Evaluation of Primary Drug Prevention at Primary Schools in the City of Prachatice. Primary prevention aims at discouraging from the first use of a habit-forming substance or at least at postponing the first contact therewith as far as possible. The foregoing is the task for the entire society. First and foremost, family, which is the most important integral part of a human being, should participate therein, together with the surrounding environment affecting the child (such as school. friends, peers), school, which aspires to be one of the subjects of primary prevention, and last but not least, general practitioner. He/She plays an important role in unrevealing symptoms of at-risk behaviour, e.g. during examinations. What is very important is the fact that if prevention comes from multiple sources, it has higher efficiency. Primary prevention should be implemented prior to the first experience with a habit-forming substance. The principles of effective and measurable primary prevention are based on systematic, long-term, active, adequate, explanatory and conscious character thereof. Within the framework of the foregoing, what pupils have opinions on preventive programs; when it is applied, what the pupils' attitudes to habit-forming substances are like, what knowledge they acquire from the realized programs, what their personal experiences and what the school methodologists' opinions concerning such anti-drug activities are like. To acquire data, the following methods were applied: quantitative research, survey and anonymous questionnaire based on own preparation, preset hypotheses are verified or falsified on the base of evaluation of the questionnaire. It follows from the research that experience with habit-forming substances is known at all primary schools in the City of Prachatice. The most widespread habit-forming substances are the legal ones, tolerated by the society. As it follows from the research, pupils attending primary schools are quite well-informed of drug issues due to the compulsory primary-prevention programs. Results of the thesis may be used in practice as a material for school drug-prevention methodologists and management of primary schools in Prachatice, which can be used as feedback from students on programs for. Last but not least, I believe that the thesis may be used for the needs of the follow-up research.
