Individual Planning Application with Clients of Sheltered Housing.
HORŇÁČKOVÁ, Marta
A very much debated topic is currently an issue of the individual planning with users of social services. It has been seen as a cornerstone in a rendition of the first-rate social service. It is legitimized in the Law No. 108/2006 Coll., on social services, where an obligation to plan a course of the service with the user is imposed with a respect to his/her needs and wishes so that he/she could be satisfied with an implementation and realization of the individual plans. The individual planning also belongs to important quality standards, that must be met so that the service could be provided on a high quality level, effectively and in accordance with the mission and goals of the organization while respecting the individual needs of the users. The aim of my thesis is to find out in which way the individual planning is carried out with users of the sheltered housing ?Proutek? in Jindřichův Hradec, whose clientele are people with mental disabilities. In the theoretical part, in order to achieve the objective, I will describe the individual planning, what specifics it has, methods and practices in the social work with mentally handicapped users, I will emphasize prerequisites for a successful planning with clients with mental disabilities. I will focus on the person of the worker who is engaged in the individual planning, how much he/she has been trained, which principles he/she should follow in the planning course to ensure the already above mentioned quality of the service in accordance with the standards. In the practical part I will specifically focus on an implementation of important preconditions for the high-quality individual planning for the users with mental disabilities in the sheltered housing. Through semi-controlled interviews with four assistants who realize the individual planning in the housing, I will find out the way of an implementation of the planning in the service, further I will evaluate positives as well as negatives which can occur during the individual planning with this specific group of users. An output of my bachelor thesis is an evaluation of the individual planning implementation in the service. A comparison of the assistants´ work and pointing out a good practice in a rendition of the first-rate individual planning with users with mental disabilities, focused on an application of principal planning prerequisites usable also for other establishments with a similar type of the service.
