The role of social worker in an educational care center.
VALIČEK, Jiří
ABSTRAKT This bachelor thesis focuses on the current state of the Educational Care Centre and the role of social worker in the Educational Care Centre. It is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part describes the area of ethopedics, the current state in the Educational Care Centre in terms of structure, form of care, collaboration with other institutions and it further focuses on the social worker´s role in the Educational Care Centre, especially on legislation, expertness and ethics code, competencies and personal skills for social work. The practical part deals with qualitative research. The research is focused on position of social worker and his activities within the framework of his actions in the Educational Care Centre. The main aim of my bachelor thesis is "Assess the scope of activities of social worker in the functioning of Educational Care Centre." The specific aims are these: determine the questions that will lead to an answer to my main aim and then answer them by using semi-structured inerviews with social workers. The aim of these semi-structured interviews will be to secure the widest possible range of activities that a social worker carries out, referring to his role in the Educational Care Centres. In order to grasp the analysis in more detail, I chose two research questions that will map "What activities provided by a social worker are according to him the most acceptable by clients of the Educational Care Centre" and "How does the idea of a social worker's role transforms within the framework of his actions in the Educational Care Centre." Based on the analysis I did I chose a qualitative research as an investigation strategy. Qualitative research is based on a gathering of very detailed information based on which then creates deductive and inductive conclusions to be verified. Based on semi-structured interviews I managed to achieve and fulfill my aims. Among the most important findings is the role of the social worker and his influence on his further development.
