On the basis of my interviews and the study of various documents I realized that municipalities and regions don't exploit possibilities of support of families, that the law about municipalities and the law about regions give them, and that they implement support of families by project of community planning of social services.

At the end of my thesis I identify main problems of the implementation of local family policy in the Czech Republic. These problems are especially a low institutional support of this policy and a low awareness of families and municipalities about possibilities of its...
