Cooperation of Primary Schools and the Offices for Social-Legal Protection of Children
KUBIŠOVÁ, Lucie
The bachelor thesis deals with cooperation between primary schools and authorities of social and legal protection of children. Social and legal protection of children is provided to children whose parents fail to fulfil the obligations defined in parental responsibility or fail to pursue or abuse the rights defined in parental responsibility. Social and legal protection is also provided to children leading immoral or shiftless way of life or regularly escaping from their parents. The general notification obligation assigns schools to notify local authorities of communities with wide competences of fact that indicate that a child requires social and legal protection. The goal of the thesis is to find out how a primary school cooperates with a children social-law care department in relation to social pathologic behaviour in primary school children. Two research questions were set to reach the goal. I tried to find out in what way cooperation between primary schools and authorities of social and legal protection of children is conducted and whether primary school teachers and social workers consider the cooperation efficient, by means of semi -structured interviews with primary school teachers and with social workers. The data obtained this way were analysed by the open data coding method. The cooperation is based on mutual transfer of information on pupils with problems, reports and written assessment of pupil's behaviour and school result. Social workers and primary school teachers meet at consultation meetings and also at disciplinary boards and case conferences. School teachers and social workers consider their cooperation effective. Certain problems however occur in their cooperation. To make the cooperation more effective two teachers propose more frequent updating of laws and applicable regulations with regard to current needs of children and legislation modification. Social workers propose establishment of a multidisciplinary team, an increase of the number of social workers and presence of a lawyer at the children social-law protection department, education in social and legal protection of children for primary school teachers, and an Internet forum. The results of the thesis may be used for making the cooperation more efficient and for prevention of risky behaviour among primary school children.

Assessing of Functionality of Family in South Bohemia Region
ZBORNÍKOVÁ, Kateřina
Assessing the functionality of family is a very current topic. The last survey of functionality of family according to Questionnaire of functionality of family was done by professor Dunovský in the 80th of the 20th century. The aim of this study is to determine what social workers in the South Bohemian region assess the functionality of the family according to. Partial research questions aim to answer the main research question: Which characteristics does a functional family have according to social workers? This study deals with the question whether the Questionnaire of functionality is still up to date or outdated. The study deals only with a few fields of the questionnaire. The research was qualitative; its main technique was a semi standardized interview. The structure of the interview took a form of broadly worded questions that were aimed at understanding the problem. The survey shows that the Questionnaire of functionality by Dunovský cannot be used in assessing the functionality of family without detailed history of a family, which will reflect particular variations in individual families on the basis of prolonged inquiry in the family. The categories of the Questionnaire themselves need to be updated with regard to the shift of social perception of family and the shift of social-economic situation of families in society.

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.

The theoretical part deals with socio-pathological phenomena in families, legal framework of placing children in special-care facilities, children´s social and legal security, different school institutions and their inmates´ rights and duties as well as psychological impact of institutional care on children´s development.

The research database consisted of all children who were placed in any special-care facility as a result of court-ordered institutional and correctional education, preliminary measures or parent agreed-to placement in an diagnostic institute. Three hypotheses based on the professional literature findings were defined. 1. The main reason why children are placed in institutional facilities is a dysfunctional family where the children´s education is threatened by some sociopathological phenomena. 2. Children are mostly placed in the institutional facilities aged 12 {--} 15. 3. The fact schools do not solve the behavioural problems in children in the long term affects negatively more than one quarter of institutionalised children.
