Grandparents as Foster Parents from a View of Social Workers
LUSTOVÁ, Andrea
My bachelor's thesis deals with kinship care provided by grandparents. I have set two goals - (1) to map social workers' experience concerning raising a child placed into the care of grandparents and (2) to discover in which areas of child care the intergenerational distinction is most clearly seen. I have chosen the qualitative research strategy, questionnaire method and semi-structured discussion. Data were evaluated based on open coding. The research group consisted of five social workers. The research itself was realized in March, 2020. The theoretical part deals with foster care in general, its history in the Czech Republic, the beginning and end of foster care, foster care allowances, foster care by relatives, and especially grandparents. The practical part contains open coding with five categories, where each category contains one or two subcategories. I have researched that every social worker perceives kinship care differently and has her own experience. There was a great deal of disagreement among the answers given by social workers. I was finding out intergenerational differences, risks and negatives of this kinship care, spending free time with children and grandparents' participation in the school preparation of children. This bachelor thesis can serve as a source of information for authorized person to social and legal protection of children.

Foster Care of Romani Children
MARKOVÁ, Lucie
This bachelor thesis deals with foster care providers and their motivation to perform foster care. The aim of the work was to find out what are the factors of motivation for foster care of a Roma child. In the theoretical part, I described the basic concepts related to the concept of alternative family care, including the legislative framework. Subsequently, I also described the topic of the Roma community, the Roma family and the formation of the identity of a Roma child in a non-Roma surrogate family. In the practical part, qualitative research was used, more precisely biographical interviews, which I supplemented by subsequent questioning. The communication partners were families who provide foster care, have at least one child of the Roma ethnic group and are themselves of the non-Roma ethnic group. Another condition for the selection of communication partners was that they have a permanent residence in the South Bohemian Region. All obtained data are analyzed in a way based on grounded theory. While processing this bachelor's thesis, I found that motivation can be different and different from each individual separately. The main factors of initial motivation can be external and internal influences, in each case the greatest impact on such decisions has the environment, family, friends or even professional life. Cooperation with the relevant authorities and social workers is especially important for every applicant for alternative family care. If the applicant is sure that his interest is also supported by the authorities, this decision is often full and fulfilled.
