Working with ethnicity in low-threshold facilities for children and youth
KAŇKOVÁ, Tereza
Everyone brings some dispositions ( factors) into his life, which cannot be swayed. In these factors belong for example skin colour, genetic dispositions or ethnicity. Some of these differences is possiibe to see on the first look and some follow up during the person´s life. It has connection with how we are felt with other people .It is very important how we feel ourselves. On base of some signs we categorize people according to stereotyped used phyziognomic signs. But the identity of the person can be in his conception totally different than it is felt by the other people. Ethnicity is one of the signs which we take in our lifes from the beginning of our existance. Concept of ethnicity correspond with name of race but it´s other meanings follow in the field of culture. Ethnicity is concentrated around same cultur conviction and practice. Forming of the "ethnic groups" consists in sharing of culture signs, which were developed in specific historical, social and political contexts and support the feeling of belonging. The meaning of ethnicity is partly from mythologic origin. Ethnicity is beeing formed on the base of how we express culture identity with the help of the language sings. Therefore is the ethnicity relative and it correlatives with categories of self interpretation and acquire of social status. The dissertation Perception of ethnicity in Low-treshold treatment programe for kids and young people is concentrated on the social workers´s view on social work with ethnicity of users the Low-treshold treatment program. These programes say thet the main group of their users are gypsies. In dissertation I work with the question if the social workers who work with the gypsies are swayed by their ehtnicity. If the social workers have to use some different methods when they work with the gypsies. In the Low-treshold treatment programe work the social workers mostly with children and young people who are social handicapped. Often there are children and young people who only drift aroudn the street. Often there are also children and young people who live in weak social environment and they live in bad areas where they have no opportunity for their personal progress. Quality these children´s life is very low even if we talk about the material aspect or their family background. I concentrate on explaining the word Ethnicity and ethnic minority in the theoretic part. How are the gypsies swayed with their own enthnicity and how do they live in the Czech Republic. Also I talk about the Low-treshold treatment programe for children and young people. Next I write about theories and methods of the social work. I decided for strategy of qualitative research in the empirical part. Here I used the method of questioning, technique of halfstandardized interview. I chose this technique becasuse it is possible to change it and modify during the analysis. Quality dates I recived , I adapted with the help of coding. The social workers in Low-treshold treatment programe made the basic complex for collecting the dates. They have been chosen because of their direct work with the users of the programe. The target of my dissertation was to identify how the user´s ehtnicity sways the work of the social workers. It follows from the resaults that the ethnicity is not important for the social workers. How they said, they feel the user´s ethnicity but in the mutual interaction with users they find some other , more important characteristics. One of the important attribute is the area which the users come from. Next factor is the bahaving of the children. Or the way how are the gypsies behaved. How the social workers said, they feel a little uselessness to change the habits. It followed from the interview that the success of their work is very low. If we talk about some social work specification it is necessary to work with the gypsies according to their social differences. Social workers choose the attitud.

Children's lifestyle in Kid's Centre of Southern Region
ŠIMEČKOVÁ, Irena
Growing up in a loving family is important for every child. Where the family is for any reason unable to provide the necessary background, the child is placed into substitute care, either in a family setting or an institution. The state prefers surrogate family to institutional care. The beginning of the theoretical part of my thesis focuses on the child?s rights contained in the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Basic Freedoms, the Convention on the Rights of the Child and under Act 359/1999 Sb. on social and legal protection of children. I?ve described types of substitute care ? in a family setting (foster care, temporary foster care, adoption, committing the child into the care of a person other than his parent, guardianship) and in an institution ? and gave an account of the sequelae of childhood institutionalisation. I explained how the CAN syndrome manifests itself and what kind of children fall most frequently victims to abuse. I explained the importance of a family for a child and what does family recovery mean, what are the needs of children, and the ethnic group. The theoretical part concludes with a description of the South Bohemian Child Centre. The Child Centre is situated in the town of Strakonice. It?s a non-governmental health-care facility that can accommodate a maximum of 25 children. The South Bohemian Child Centre was established in 2005. Under Act 359/1999 Sb. on the social and legal protection of children, as amended, the Centre runs a facility accommodating children who require immediate help. The facility is primarily intended for 6-year-olds and younger; upon agreement, an older child may be admitted as well, in particular if he or she is a sibling. The help provided to children by the facility includes healthcare and social, legal, educational and psychological care and counselling. Under Act 108/2006 Sb. on social services, the Centre runs social rehabilitation intended for mothers and family members in need of help to be able to manage caring for their child, and also for future adoptive and foster parents. Parents have 5 dwelling units at their disposal. I divided the research into two parts. The first objective was mapping the life situation of children in the South Bohemian Child Centre between 2009-2011. The second objective was to establish how the social rehabilitation scheme has been utilised since the South Bohemian Child Centre was established. In order to achieve these objectives, a quantitative research had been designed, with secondary and content data analysis. I followed 9 criteria in the first research group: 1. reasons of admission to the CC, 2. age at the time of admission to the CC, 3. age at the time of leaving the CC, 4. the average length of the child?s stay in the facility, 5. ethnic group, 6. their state of health, 7. their mental state, 8.contact with their biological family, 9. reasons of termination of their stay. In the second research group dealing with social rehabilitation where parents stay with their children, I followed 4 criteria: 1. reason of admission into the social rehabilitation scheme, 2. the parent, 3. length of stay in the facility, 4. success. The results of this thesis will serve for the purposes of the South Bohemian Child Centre and be of use to anyone interested in these issues.
