Jurková, Kristýna ; Nová, Monika (advisor) ; Čedík, Miloslav (referee)
Foster care is currently a topic that arouses certain controversy in society, which often stems from ignorance of this type of alternative family care. In the diploma thesis, with the help of the analysis, the domestic system of substitute family care was comprehensively described with a focus on foster care. This system was subsequently compared with foreign systems. The work also deals with the identification of the main motivational factors that are essential for the performance of foster care. To find out important information about the motivational factors of foster care, the method of a questionnaire survey was used, which was conducted with foster parents and also with persons without experience with foster care. The questionnaire survey with foster parents showed that the main motivating factor for foster parents is selfless help for children in institutional care.

Rubešová, Lenka ; Vrzáček, Petr (advisor) ; Procházková, Martina (referee)
Substitute family care is a frequently mentioned topic in the Czech Republic, especially in connection with the high number of children placed in institutional facilities. Foster care, as a one of the forms of substitute family care, was registered within the amendment to the Act on Social and Legal Protection of Children No. 359/1999 Coll. It was in January 2013 and a new concept of support and definition of foster parents' rights and obligations was defined. One of these obligations is to conclude a foster care agreement either with the municipal authority of the municipality with extended powers or with a non-governmental non-profit organization which is entrusted with the exercise of social and legal protection of children and with foster care agreements. This diploma thesis focuses on the personnel activities of non-governmental non-profit organizations that accompany foster families and on the key accompanying workers themselves as well.

Possibilities of Placement Disabled Children into the Substitute Family Care
STONAVSKÁ, Michaela
Substitute family care is a pressing issue for society, mainly because many children are still in institutional care. The bachelor thesis called "Possibilities of Placement Disabled Children into the Substitute Family Care " will introduce the given issue from the professional literature. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part deals with family, substitute family care and disability. The chapter about alternative family care describes how children are given this form of care and how negative childhood experiences are reflected in adulthood. This chapter describes forms of surrogate family care, financial contributions that are guaranteed by the state, or steps to be taken to become an applicant and a future surrogate parent. The next chapter introduces the definition of disability and the individual subchapters describe the types of disability. The conclusion of the theoretical part includes the adoption of a child with disabilities in the family. The practical part investigated how social workers in children's homes perceive the placement of children with disabilities in substitute family care and what they perceive as the biggest problems. Other goals were to find out what form of substitute family care is preferred for children with disabilities and how can the children benefit from being placed in a substitute family. The practical part of the thesis was processed using qualitative research. In-depth interviews were conducted with social workers in children's homes in the Pilsen Region. The research revealed that the disability of children in children's homes is very common. In answering the main research question, which was placing disabled children in substitute family care, children with disabilities have a lower chance of getting into foster care compared to children without disabilities. This is mainly due to more demanding education and care for these children. Research has shown that surrogate parents often accept a child with disabilities, but they do not manage and place it back in institutional care. A precondition for an unmanaged substitute family is low awareness of disability and courage to seek professional help. Social workers see the problem of integrating these children into society, so placing them in substitute families is a great help and benefit. According to the experience of social workers, children with disabilities are placed only in one of the forms of substitute family care, namely in foster care. This form is often preceded by host care, where the child meets a future substitute family, then grows into foster care, either to a married couple or an individual. Children with disabilities are often placed in foster care for relatives or close relatives. However, the research has shown that most children return to institutional care from these people.
