Social profile of client of Senior Citizenś House in Pisek region
VESELÁ, Iveta
The diploma work addresses the topics of old age and ageing that are becoming more and more noticeable facts in the human society. Ageing population and its social consequences constitute the framework significantly reinforcing the importance and urgency of the topics of old age and ageing of an individual. We have to be aware of the needs of elderly persons and to offer them such services that will help to solve their life situations at the individual level. The subject of the diploma work is the social profile of a senior citizens' home client in the Písek district. The main aim of the work is to map selected events in the life of a senior citizens' home client and to frame his/her social profile. The theoretical part defines the basic concepts in the old age and ageing area, their classification, and their manifestations. Other points in that part include family and family system in care for the elderly and social support and social services systems. The research within the practical part took place in five senior citizens' homes in the Písek district in March through July 2011. To achieve the objectives of the work, qualitative research was performed using the inquiry method technique of semi-standardised interviews with senior citizens' homes clients and social workers. The research intention was to define the decisive events in the senior's life that had influenced substantially his/her leaving the natural social environment; to map the social relations in the senior's family before his/her placing in the senior citizens' home; and to find out the particularities of the social worker's work when accepting the client with regard to the client's individuality and his/her previous way of life. Based on in-depth analysis of the testimonies obtained and secondary analysis of data, hypotheses were set up. The results of the diploma work can be used when drawing up the Community Plan for the Písek district. They can help to identify who uses residential social services for senior citizens and in what way, and what are the senior citizens' needs. The work points out the fact that non-residential social services for the elderly must be developed to enable them to stay in their natural social environment as long as possible; the main aim being to increase the availability of such services in the whole district. Support to family relations of senior citizens' homes clients seems also very important, which puts emphasis on high quality of social workers' work, not only with the clients, but also with their families.

Analysis of staff development and education in selected institution
POPELKOVÁ, Kateřina
Education and development of workers is an important activity in which workers acquire the necessary competence, professional skills and improve their job performance. It depends on each institution what type of education and development of their employees they choose. It is important to address all the phases of educational process. This process is important for effective functioning of all institutions. The objective of this thesis is to determine how employee education and development is carried out in selected institutions providing social services. Three institutions from Pilsen were selected. To meet the objective of this thesis, I chose a qualitative research, the method of interviewing, and the technique of interview using instructions. To obtain information about the selected institutions, I used the method of secondary data analysis. The research group consisted of employees of these institutions engaged in educating and developing their staff. The interviews were focused on information about the organization, individual phases of educational process, supervision and financial backing of education. The research set for the secondary data analysis consisted of annual reports from the three selected institutions. Each institution was examined separately, and the comparison of the obtained results was carried out subsequently. The research results showed that in the selected organizations the process of staff education is under way; however, each organization has their education set differently. An integral part of education is also the development of staff, in which supervision is primarily involved in the selected institutions. Employees of the organizations are involved in the educational process in all institutions surveyed. It was also found that there are some obstacles and gaps in the educational process. The obstacles in further education include primarily the lack of finance; the gaps include non- observance of the educational process stages. The final part presents some suggestions for improving the educational process in selected institutions.

Evaluation of the activities of the German educational and therapeutic facility Frostenwalde
ZAPLETALOVÁ, Tereza
This thesis deals with the issues of the German educational and therapeutic facility Frostenwalde as an alternative to detention for juveniles. The educational and therapeutic facility Frostenwalde, which falls under successful German organization Evangelisches Jugend-und Fürsorgewerk (the Evangelical Care for Youth and Needy), works under the project Menschen statt Mauern/People instead the walls. The first part deals with this issue from a theoretical point of view. It outlines an explanation of the Menschen statt Mauern project; it focuses on the analysis of the legislative basis for the possible establishment of similar facility in the Czech Republic and it describes the structure and activities of this facility. The combination of qualitative and quantitative research was chosen to handle the second part. The first technique of data collection was a semi-structured interview that contained open-ended questions. Additional questions and more specific questions were also asked. The respondent group consisted of selected employees of the Frostenwalde facility. The second technique was a content analysis of numerical data. Statistical data on the facility operation was analyzed. The objective of the thesis was to evaluate the activities of the German educational and therapeutic facility Frostenwalde through a set of research questions. The aim of the research questions was to find out about the effectiveness of Frostenwalde and about the motivation of Frostenwalde employees for their activities. Based on the results obtained through the research, I concluded that the Frostenwalde facility is more effective and more acceptable alternative to detention for the overall development of juveniles. The research also showed that a prerequisite for the functioning of this type of facility is a perfectly coordinated, respectful team composed of experts in their profession. The motivation of all the employees is considered to be an important factor. In my opinion, the Czech Republic joining the Menschen statt Mauern project and building a similar facility would benefit in new opportunities for life without punishment of young people committing offences. This thesis may serve as a source of comprehensive information on the Frostenwalde facilities for potential employees of similar facilities and the general public.
