Volunteering as Deinstitutionalizacion of Social Work
KRATKOVÁ, Barbora
The bachelor's thesis deals with volunteering as a possible form of deinstitutionalized social work. The aim of the bachelor's thesis is to determinate the position of volunteering in social work and its use in the performance of social work. Further describe how social workers perceive volunteering and its applicability in social work. A qualitative research strategy was used to achieve the set goal. The research group was deliberately selected on the basis of arranging contact through volunteer coordinators. The research sample is therefore social workers who use volunteers in their practice for at least one year. The necessary data were obtained by the method of questioning, specifically by the technique of semi-structured interview. All data were evaluated by using open coding and subsequent categorization of data. The results show that although volunteering in social work is widely applicable and can be used in both outpatient, residential and field social services, it is not yet common in the domestic social work environment for volunteers to work in the client's natural environment and thus directly involved in the process of deinstitutionalisation of social services. Results of the research of this bachelor thesis can be beneficial both for the volunteers and volunteer coordinators as well as for social workers and organizations providing social services, by providing space for a possible discussion about the wide possibilities of volunteering and its future potential.
