The Role of a Social Worker in a Children´s Home
BĚLOCHOVÁ, Lucie
The bachelor thesis deals with the role of a social worker in children's home. The main goal of this thesis is to map the activities of a social worker in this facility. As part of the research, I focus on the issues of social worker participation in the restoration of family relationships, then what activities a social worker participates in preparing for the departure of a child from a children's home, what is his / her role in the out-of-school education of a child or how he / she works with a child who has a behavioral disorder. In order to achieve these goals, a research survey in the form of qualitative research was chosen. For qualitative research and achievement of the stated aim, the method of questioning and the technique of semi-structured interview was determined. The research group consists of six social workers who work in a children's home in the Pilsen and South Bohemia regions. The research was conducted in March 2019. The analysis of the interviews was processed using data coding followed by categorization. This analysis has shown that the work of a social worker in a children's home is very diverse as he / she has to work actively with different authorities, actively look for non-profit organizations that provide out-of-school education to children, then he / she cooperates with the child's family and is somehow a connection in the transfer of information among children and other facilities. It was found that the social worker does not deliberately contact the family. The child is relatively well prepared for leaving the children's home. A children's home will provide him / her with a one-time financial means called a severance pay or a starting package provided by various non-profit organizations, not by children's home. The research shows that the child is individually educated by an educator, and it is supplemented by the above-mentioned non-profit organizations. There is also a problem with children's behavioral disorders in children's homes. Social workers have said that children, above all, violate social norms and do not attend school. Specific approaches are not applied in any of the examined facilities and attitude to children is very individual.

Legislative process of homoparental adoption in Czech Republic: perspective of theory of social construction of target populations
Hetflejšová, Lucie ; Hejzlarová, Eva (advisor) ; Nekola, Martin (referee)
Tato bakalářská práce pojednává o novele zákona o registrovaném partnerství. Cílem práce bylo popsat situaci na poli homoparentální politiky a identifikovat hlavní zainteresované aktéry a jejich stěžejní argumenty. K naplnění cílů byly využity zejména expertní rozhovory, dále obsahová analýza medií a studium a analýza dokumentů. Práci rámuje teorie sociální konstrukce cílových skupin od Schneider a Ingram a teorie fází veřejněpolitického procesu. Teorie sociální konstrukce cílových skupin se potvrdila zejména v odlišných konstrukcích cílové skupiny odpůrci a navrhovateli novely. Zatímco navrhovatelé pracují s potřebnými, kde je cílová skupina zkonstruována pozitivně, odpůrci pracují s devianty a konstruují cílovou skupinu negativně. Obě zmíněné skupiny jsou politické slabé. Vliv stranické podpory a podpory voličů se zdá v tomto případě zanedbatelný. V rámci této případové studie se tedy podařilo popsat dosavadní vývoj na poli homoparentální politiky do dubna 2015 a identifikovat hlavní aktéry procesu legalizace a jejich argumenty.
