We used a method of questionnaire to confirm or reject the determined hypotheses. The questionnaire consists of 19 questions. 120 questionnaires were distributed with a 100% return rate.

Life of early adults after leaving childrens home
ČEGANOVÁ STEJSKALOVÁ, Radka
The Bachelor Thesis discusses the issue of young adults leaving the children´s homes. After leaving the institutional education the youth very often find themselves in difficult life situations they are not ready to deal with. The objective of this thesis is to analyze the life of youth after leaving the children´s homes. The youth very often leave the institutional education facilities without housing and employment having been prearranged, and want to become independent as soon as possible. Unlike their peers who grew up in families, they have no place to return in case they do not succeed in achieving their independence. The thesis includes a theoretical part which focuses on the issue of socialization, its definition, objectives and mechanisms, as well as on the significance of family during the process of one´s socialization. This part also identifies the specifics of children´s socialization in children´s homes, and also on risks associated with institutional education. It than discusses the process of leaving children´s home and one´s further possibilities and perspectives, respectively in a close connection to the social system and its available services and forms of support. The liaison between the theoretical and practical part is a chapter devoted to the social care organization ?Rozmarýna, o.p.s.?, describing its objectives, principles and specific programs. The practical part consists of four case studies that focus not only on youth just before they leave children´s home, but also on those youth who already left children´s home. The bachelor thesis helped me to gain a perspective on the issue of young adults leaving children´s home, as well as to find out what their problems are, how they solve them, and what the causes of their problems are.

Situation of children placed in the orphanage Žíchovec and children's contacts with their biological families.
VOJTOVÁ, Lenka
The dissertation focuses on mapping the life situations of children placed in the children?s home in Žichovec in the period between the years 2008 and 2010 and on examining the communication with their biological families. Quantitative research was used to gather information in order to achieve these goals and to verify certain hypotheses. Three research files were established. File No. 1 with the aim to map the life situations of children placed in the children?s home in Žichovec in the period between the years 2008 and 2010. An intrinsic part of this aim was to chart the situation in the families of these children in the given period. File No. 2 with the aim to examine the course of the children?s visits to their biological families, which occurred in the year 2010. Secondary data analysis was used in the case of the first two research files in order to reveal the content of the documents. The first file contained 56 children, who were accommodated at the children?s home in Žichovec in the years 2008 to 2010. The second file consisted of the families of these children, which counted 42. This was caused by four cases of a group of three siblings, five cases of a group of two siblings and a single case of an orphan. The life situations of the children were divided into four areas: 1. Personal case-history ? ethnicity, gender, age at time of joining the children?s home, age at time of leaving the children?s home, length of stay at children?s home, place of residence after leaving the children?s home, type of school at-tended. 2. Reasons for admission to the children?s home ? court order or preliminary measure regarding non-parental care, reasons given by the family, reasons given by the child. 3. Family case-history ? composition of family, number of siblings (both full sib-lings and stepsiblings), financial situation of family, accommodation. 4. Relationship with biological family ? form and frequency of contact with biolo- gical family in the Children?s Home, contact information, development of the vi sits in the Children?s Home, length of visits in the Children?s Home. Questionnaires were utilised in the case of the third research file, which consisted of 28 children, who had visited their biological families in the course of the year 2010. The questionnaire devised for the study contained fourteen questions aimed at the children?s contact with their biological families and the course of the visits from the per-spective of the children. Three hypotheses were established at the start of the dissertation, all of which proved to be correct: 1. The main reason for admission of children to the children?s home in Žichovec in the years 2008 to 2010 was a dysfunctional family environment. 2. The majority of these children were maintaining contact with their biological families. 3. The majority of the children, who left the premises of the children?s home in Žichovec on approval of its director in the year 2010 did so in order to visit their biological parents. The dissertation will be used for internal purposes of the children?s home, the information gathered will further be made available to all those who work in similar facilities and those who are interested in the issues involved. The conclusions of the dissertation can also be used as groundwork for solving negative elements in families by preventing them.

Institutional Up-bringing in a Children´s Home - legal aspects
BADÁŇOVÁ, Petra
This bachelor thesis offers a contemporary summary of characteristic features of the institutional care in connection to public criticism and future legislative changes and their possible acceptance in practice. There are six connected chapters in this work that analyze the contemporary system of alternative care, both with the characteristics of its actions and with the effect of its parts. The attention is focused, in connection with above mentioned points, to analyses of critical aspects and possible remedy through the transformation of this system. The present legislative is being transformed. The research part, through a quantitative study, reflects the fact, that children´s homes welcome the acceptance of the proposed amendment to the Act number 109/2002 Sb.. This happens even though the homes are not yet capable of suggested changes in many points, especially those ones asking for cooperation in multidisciplinary actions and material support from the state.
