Performance of the Care Contribution Agenda in the Municipality with Extended Scope of Dačice after the Social Reform Seen by Recipients of the Care Contribution.
ČURDOVÁ, Hana
Since January 1, 2007 a new social security benefit has been provided: Care Allowance. This benefit is regulated by Act No. 108 of 2006, about social services. The Act defines conditions of help and benefit distribution to people, dependent on other person's help, who got into a difficult social situation. I have chosen the topic, regarding Care Allowance, on the basis of my professional experience in this issue. The aim of this thesis was to survey opinions of Care Allowance beneficiaries (families with a disabled child), regarding office workers' work before and after social reform and find out the impact of the reform on beneficiaries. The theoretical part contains a short reference to the situation before passing the Law of Social Services, a short introduction of the Law of Social Services (effective from January 1, 2007) and social reform. Next part of the thesis describes Care Allowance after social reform, thus after January 1, 2012. It specifically contains: Care Allowance impact on social services sphere, claim conditions, extend of dependance, benefit amount and its payment, Care Allowance proceedings, terms of authorities, Care Allowance use and duties resulting from the law. The thesis describes in detail a social worker, his or her role and authority. A term "handicap" was defined in the conclusion of the theorethical part. The practical part of the bachelor's thesis elicits communication partners' opinions on office workers' work. The research question was: How do Care Allowance beneficiaries ( families with a disabled child) evaluate office workers' work before and after social reform? On the basis of the research question, I set four questions and worked with them during the research. The research sample consisted of twelve families with a disabled child, who were chosen on the basis of their free decision. These families were Care Allowance beneficiaries before and after social reform, which is essential here. The research was carried out by means of quantitative survey, an inquiry method and a method of semi-structured dialogue with the parent with a disabled child, who draws Care Allowance. According to the facts elicited from the communication partners, social reform is perceived rather negatively than positively. There is a significant difference between work of social workers of municipal authorities in Dačice and work of social workers of employment office in Dačice. Communication partners see differences in helpfulness, satisfaction, knowledge and workers' experience. Employment office workers are evaluated by communication partners very negatively, on the contrary municipal authorities workers' work is evaluated absolutely positively. Communication partners mention another serious problem, which is misfunction of Care Allowance payment, the benefit is paid out late, up to one month later. In the conclusion of the thesis, I suggest solving to the problematic situation, that was revealed in the research.

A Possibility of development of the Vodňany region social service
NOVÁKOVÁ, Veronika
Social services form an integral part of the social protection in the society. It might be perceived as a form of help provided to people who find themselves in difficulties and they are not able to get over this situation without the help of society. Social services help to socially handicapped persons to improve their living standard, alternatively to integrate them largely with the society. Social services also protect the society from the risks following from the disadvantaged persons. The core document for the field of social services in the Czech Republic is the law in force No 108/2006 about the social services. The object of my work is to sum up the general knowledge about the social services problems, but chiefly to find out if the provided social services in administrative ward of Vodňany are sufficient and what future progress of these services is possible. Research results show the Vodňany region to provide the services for seniors and handicapped persons sufficiently but there is total absence of special social consultancy service, meaning the civil advisory centre or low-threshold institution for children and young people and asylum residential facilities. From the practical point of view the diploma work can be used as the information source for the inhabitants of the Vodňany region, either in the form of booklets or information leaflets. In my opinion it is also usable for secondary and further school students and university students as a study material within the tuition. It can be also used as a feedback for the providers and clients of social services in the Vodňany region.

Jeřábková, Věra ; Fischer, Jakub (advisor) ; Krebs, Vojtěch (referee) ; Zelený, Martin (referee)
A significant problem of functioning the public sector is to ensure the efficiency of public expenditures. Efficiency model's creating is a dynamic process that requires regular evaluation of the socioeconomic conditions. The efficiency of financial system and granting social services is still not measured in the Czech Republic. The area of social services is affected by number of criteria and factors. So it is necessary to apply different views on evaluating the efficiency of social care, social prevention and social counseling. The efficiency of social services can not be estimated as a whole, but we should focus on different groups of social services and individual services within the group. In this thesis the efficiency is measured in the two selected residental social care services -- homes for the elderly and homes for people with disabilities. The applied methods was used only to a limited extent because of lacks of many important variables in the area of official statics. In the case of multiple criteria methods the calculation was also impeded by the availability of suitable software.

Care allowance and its usage in providing social services
BALAŽOVIČOVÁ, Nina
The topic of this thesis is a care allowance in the region of České Budejovice. The care allowance is a benefit introduced by Law No. 108/2006 Coll., Social Services, as amended with effect from 1st January 2007. Care allowance under the Act should be used to provide the necessary care to persons who are dependent on other´s assistance. It is paid in four stages according to the degree of dependence. This is a brand new benefit, novelty is its concept, which strengthens the position of active users of social services. The care allowance is designed as a subsidy at which users can purchase such social services they voluntarily choose. Since its introduction, the care allowance faced some problems - growing number of users, leading to the growth of benefits paid, which, however, compared to the original plan does not go back into the system. This is so because users mainly in the first instance elects family or other relatives as care providers, or consider care allowance for additional house hold income and does not cover social services. The theoretical part is focused on the notion of social services, their history and development. Another section is devoted to the current law on social services. .The last section of the theoretical part deals with the care allowance explanation, its function and describe the procedure of its gaining. The aim is to find out the actual use of the allowance and user satisfaction with its amount especially after the reduction from 2011. The research used quantitative methods - Secondary data analysis and questionnaire survey, which was carried out on a representative sample of users of the care allowance in the municipality České Budejovice. Basic file for secondary data analysis and questionnaire survey were the beneficiaries of care allowance in České Budejovice. According to the Municipality of České Budejovice it was in 2011, when the research was conducted, about 4400 people. The target file for the survey is therefore 330 people. In total 340 questionnaires were answered in this research. A questionnaire survey was conducted among users in the form of open and closed questions. The questionnaire contains a total of 10 questions, 8 are closed, one question is open and one question is closed with possibility of additional response. At the beginning of the questionnaire, respondents were informed about its focus and subsequent use of this information. The aim is to find out how recipients with care allowance actually use it and their satisfaction with it specially in the first stage of the reduction since 2011. I identified the following objectives and hypotheses: Objective I.: To determine how recipients treated care allowances. Objective II.: To find out how the recipients evaluate the amount of the care allowance. Hypothesis I.: Recipients of the care allowance in I. and II. degree prefer family care. Hypothesis II.: Recipients of the care allowance in the first instance are dissatisfied with the amount. Hypotheses were based on the results of preliminary research. Hypothesis I.: It was confirmed that recipients of the care allowance in I. and II. degree prefer family care, the research showed that the users of care allowance in I. and II. level prefer caregiving family or other non-registered individual in more than 60 percents Also the hypothesis II.: It was confirmed that recipients of the care allowance in the first level are dissatisfied with the amount. The results show that although it is not a rule with increasing level of the care allowance increases also user satisfaction with its amount, there is more than 60% of dissatisfied users among users of first instance of the care.

Social services for elderly in terms of Home for elderly Háje
Hnátková, Lucie ; Krebs, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Průša, Ladislav (referee)
The diploma thesis presents both benefits and threats brought about by Act No. 108/2006 coll., on Social Services, for users and providers of social services since 2007. The criticism is based on data on beneficiaries of care allowance as well as sources of revenue obtained by social service providers in the four-year force of the law. The thesis aims to assess the effects of the Act on Social Services on the quality and financing of social services for the elderly and verify these results on the data and development of Home for elderly Háje, allowance organization, founded by the City of Prague. The new legislation established a number of tools to ensure the quality of social services. However, it appears that the new settings of financing of this field may endanger the quality of services, particularly in residential social care services. The development of social services is significantly influenced by the process of aging, therefore, one part of the thesis analyzes the age structure of population of the City of Prague and the need of social services for the elderly in this region in the future. The conclusion summarises the most serious consequences of Act on Social Services in practice.
