Children from foster family in kindergarten
NOSKOVÁ, Radka
The topic of the bachelor thesis is Children from a foster family in kindergarten. In the theoretical part, foster family care, kindergarten and other basic concepts that are crucial for understanding the issue are characterized. The practical part of the thesis consists of a quantitative research method. Initially, I wanted to use qualitative research using semi-structured interviews, but as I encountered reluctance from the respondents, I had to use only the quantitative method. This questionnaire method was used with two groups, the teachers' group and the foster parents' group. The aim of the Bachelor's thesis was to identify and understand the specific characteristics of the integration of children from foster families into the kindergarten environment in the context of cooperation with this type of family.

Gabrišová, Barbora ; Hendrychová, Michaela (advisor) ; Šustek, Petr (referee)
Theory, practice and prospects of foster care in the Czech Republic Abstract The thesis deals with the issue of foster care, as a traditional private law institute of alternative family care, which has significant public law features. The aim of the thesis is to provide a comprehensive view of the legal regulation of foster care de lege lata not only from a theoretical perspective, but also to point out some practical consequences of the application of the legal regulation in question. Part of the thesis is also devoted to the prospects of regulatory developments of foster care following the upcoming legislative changes in the field of alternative care for children. If, from objective or subjective reasons, the child's parents cannot personally care for the child, the state must ensure a suitable alternative care for such a child. One of these forms of alternative care is foster care, which provides a solution to the lack of personal care for child by his or her parents in an environment that resembles a family as much as possible. That is why foster care holds an irreplaceable position within the system of alternative care for children. First, the thesis provides a brief explanation of the history and development of foster care and its legal regulation in the territory of the Czech Republic, also in view...

Children from institutional and temporary foster care in a new home through the eyes of substitute parents
Zdražilová, Elen ; Novotná, Hana (advisor) ; Presslerová, Pavla (referee)
This work deals with the comparison and in-depth analysis of some psychological aspects (especially problematic of attachment) in children currently living in foster care or adoption with experience in two types of early care - institutional care and foster care for a temporary period during the first year of life. The investigated areas were manifestations of attachment and significant manifestations of behavior, experience and relationality in these children. The aim of the work was to compare the effect of both forms of care on the psyche of the child and the deeper connections between the observed phenomena. The research was conducted in the form of qualitative semi-structured interviews with foster parents or adopters of the children under investigation. The results of the research show that investigated children from the temporary foster care, despite the often unsatisfactory quality of care provided, have more favorable manifestations in most of the investigated areas than children from institutional care, and they retain the ability to establish an intimate relationship with the caregiver. However, children show higher levels of anxiety and uncertainty. The investigated children from institutional care showed signs of impaired emotional attachment and other difficulties in behavior and in...

The Issue of Foster Care from the Perspective of Foster Parents and Accompanying Workers
JIRÁSKOVÁ, Aneta
The bachelor thesis deals with the issue of foster family care from the perspective of foster parents and the accompanying worker. The aim of the thesis was to find out what are the positives and negatives of cooperation between foster parents and accompanying organizations and to describe the experience of cooperation between accompanying workers and foster parents. The bachelor thesis has two parts. The theoretical part explains the basic concepts related to foster family care and its forms with emphasis on foster care. Family, its functions and types of families are defined, the concept of attachment, social and legal protection of children is explained. A relatively large space is devoted to foster care, its types and the process of mediation of FC. The last chapter covers the accompanying organisations for foster families, accompanying workers and the services provided by each organisation. In the practical part, qualitative research was conducted, using a semi-structured interview technique with foster parents and accompanying workers. Subsequently, the interviews are processed according to each communication partner. The research shows that the cooperation of foster parents with the AO is evaluated positively, a big role is played by the person of the accompanying worker, especially his personal qualities, the way of working and the overall approach and treatment with the family, because it is, together with the services provided, a decisive factor for the selection of the AO. In the conclusion of the thesis my main findings and the results I have achieved are summarized. I think that this thesis could be considered as a useful resource or information material that could serve future foster carers, accompanying workers as well as students in the field of social work. It could also be beneficial in improving awareness of foster care and accompanying organisations.

Risk taking behavior in children from foster care
SPILKOVÁ, Tereza
This Bachelor thesis deals with the problems of behavioral disorders, mainly in the context of problematic behaviors related to seeking individual identity. The thesis focuses on adolescents who were accepted into substitute family care and don't have access to the information about their past or biological parents. The aim of the theoretical part was to establish a connection between placement of the child into substitute family care and the development of problematic behavior during adolescence. The theory focused on the identification of specifics of the early stay in institutional state care and the effects of missing information about one's origin, in relation to behavioral disturbances in adolescents. The research component of the work was based on collecting quantitative data from deep conversations which were focused on the context of the development of behavioral disorders in an adolescent male, who grew up in an adoptive family and didn't have available information about his origin or biological family.
