Comparison of Access of Workers of Children´s Home, Primary School and School Canteen Radenín to Children with Disabilities and to Children without Disabilities
ZHORNÁ, Michaela
The aim of this work was to map the activities of children's home workers in the care of children with disabilities and children without disabilities. The research set consisted of six staff members from the Children's Home, Primary School, and School Canteen Radenín, one of whom was a social worker who is an essential component in childcare. The research was carried out by qualitative research. A method of questioning was used to answer the research questions and a semi-structured interview was the technique. The data obtained from the interviews was evaluated by open coding and then breaking the codes into categories. Based on the research carried out, it has emerged that the education of children in a children´s home varies greatly, due to a visit to two types of schools when children come with different difficulty of tasks. There needs to be a difference in access to education for children with disabilities and children without disabilities. This brings me to the answer to the second research question, when workers in education with children with disabilities have to use certain specific aids to make it easier for children to work. Workers with specific aids not only encounter children with disabilities in education, but also in developing motor and skills in a boy with cerebral palsy. The work brings knowledge in the field of education of children with disabilities and the use of special aids when working with these children. The aids can be educational cards, which serve as an aid to the development of communication skills, or an auxiliary table for multiplication. It is clear from the research that an assistant educator is an indispensable component in working with children with disabilities because these children need individual care.

Preparation of Children for Leaving the Children's Home
BICEROVÁ, Markéta
This bachelor thesis called Preparing Children for Leaving the Children's Home deals with the preparation of children growing up in children's homes for their independent leaving of the institution and their preparation for life in general, on the part of the educators. In addition, this bachelor thesis is concerned with the life stories of children who have already left the children's home. The main goal of this work is to discover how children are prepared for their independent life and whether, from the children's point of view, this preparation on the part of the children's home has been sufficient. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part describes the institutional education and its legislative frame, the children's home, the rights and duties of the children placed there and the whole process of leaving the children's home. Finally, some projects supporting the children who leave the children's home are listed. The practical part of the thesis deals with researching the preparation of children for leaving the children's home, both from the educators' and the children's point of view. The research group consisted of nine educators working in unnamed children's homes in South Bohemia and four adults who grew up in a children's home. The research methods used were the method of qualitative research, the interview method and the technique of semi-structured interview. For evaluating the data the ATLAS.ti software was used, open coding was performed followed by data categorization. On the basis of this research, both the individual research questions and the goal of the work were answered. As emerged from the research, the individuals leaving the children's home just after reaching their full age or at a very young age have problems entering their independent life, mainly in the area of finance, housing, employment, integration into society and creating social relationships. In spite of the intensive preparation taking place in children's homes, it is difficult for the leaving individuals to succeed in the society at such a young age without any help of a close person, who could be helpful in solving problematic situations but also in solving everyday issues. The findings of this bachelor thesis can be used both by institutional and protective education workers and by the students of health and social studies and pedagogy. It could also be a useful aid for OSPOD workers and other specialists or the non-professional public who are interested in these issues.

Application of Supervision in School Facilities for the Performance of Institutional Education or Protective Education and in School Facilities for Preventive Educational Care
HELLEROVÁ, Kristýna
Supervision is considered a standard part of the professional growth of workers in the field of helping professions i.e., those who are in direct contact with people, their problems, and emotions at work. Supervision allows these workers to think about the quality of their work, increase their ability to reflect and self-reflect. The goal of supervision in specific facilities, but also in general, is the development of professionals and personal competencies of individual employees and teams. There is a methodological instruction for the provision of supervision for school facilities for the performance of institutional education or protective education and in school facilities for preventive educational care. Individual devices also have defined ways of personal support and professional development of workers. Supervision in school facilities is provided to pedagogical staff as part of work activities outside direct pedagogical activities. We divide the facilities into two groups according to where they fall, either under the Ministry of Education or under the region. Those facilities that fall under the region do not have to provide supervision to their employees. The aim of supervision is to improve the quality of multidisciplinary care for vulnerable minors, or persons under 19 years of age, placed in school facilities for institutional or protective education, minors, or adults until the end of secondary education, which is provided preventive educational care. The funds that facilities receive for their activities are normatively allocated, but their volume may not be sufficient to be used to financially ensure quality supervision in school facilities for institutional education or protective education and school facilities for preventive education. The research group consisted of employees of the mentioned facilities throughout the Czech Republic. The goal was achieved by using quantitative research, the method of a questionnaire using the Likert scale. The research showed that the most common form of supervision in these facilities is external supervision in the form of group and individual. Furthermore, it was found that the employees of these facilities are mostly satisfied with the supervision and its appearance in the facility. The data needed to process the hypotheses were analyzed in IBM SPSS Statistics at a specified level of significance = 95%. Thanks to the elaboration of hypotheses in the research, it subsequently turned out that we cannot prove in the case of this research, that school facilities for institutional or protective education and school facilities for preventive educational care, which fall under the MŠMT, have a more positively evaluated supervision from employees than facilities that do not fall under the MŠMT, so this hypothesis was rejected, and the null hypothesis was accepted. In the next hypothesis, it was not significantly proven that the evaluation of the benefits of supervision is influenced by the employee's job position. In the case of the last hypothesis, again, it has not been proven that length affects the evaluation of the benefit of supervision. The results of this diploma thesis can be an inspiration for school facilities as a topic for a possible change or as a positive feedback on the supervision implemented in them in the facility. They can also be used by supervisors and other staff involved in implementing supervision in education. Finally, it will serve as an information material for students and other professional public who are interested in this issue.

Social work with juvenile client of the department of social and legal protection of children from the view of social worker.
KULICHOVÁ, Lucie
The main aim of this bachelor's thesis was to identify the most common behavioral problems of adolescent clients of the Department of Social and Legal Protection of Children. The other aim was to show if and how it is possible, using methods and techniques of social work, to help clients to find a social standards for life. For the practical part of the bachelor's thesis a qualitative research was used, the form of four case studies, where the selection of basic sample wasn't made randomly but on purpose. The aim of the practical part wasn't to confirm or disprove the established hypotheses but to find new facts that connect individual cases and which can be described in more detail in my master's thesis, for example. The bachelor's thesis shows the fact that the risky behavior of adolescents is primarily caused by a bad family situation, lack of attention and love from parents. Adolescents try to escape from an unhealthy family environment to the environment of their peers where they feel understood. The most common behavioral problems of adolescent clients of the Department of Social and Legal Protection of Children are theft, addictive substances abuse which also include smoking and alcohol use. One of the chapters is about institutional care and its negative effects on adolescents and children. This bachelor's thesis could be a good example for new social workers who have the opportunity to see how other social workers from another Department of Social and Legal Protection of Children have solved a specific case. That social work can be a model that can be used in their specific cases. Furthermore my bachelor's thesis shows the importance of an individual and patient approach to clients and families where it's necessary to explain the role of social workers and their competencies, motivate clients to cooperate and set understandable and achievable goals of individual plan of protection of the children.

How Children in Foster Homes Perceive Their Life Situation
SEKALOVÁ, Eva
In my bachelor's thesis, I deal with the issue of children placed in care institutions. The aim of the work is to find out the current view of children from children's homes, whether they feel their social disadvantage with respect to peers in the school environment, on social networks and during social events. The work is divided into the theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part describes the functioning of the children's home, as a facility for institutional education, the area of social disadvantage and its impact on children at risk, and then discusses the approaches of social work related to the issue. In the practical part, a quantitative research strategy using a method of questioning is applied. The collection of research data took place in August to September 2019 using an anonymous questionnaire, to which 112 children, aged 7-18, from 11 children's homes from the South Bohemian, South Moravian and Moravian-Silesian regions responded. After processing and statistical evaluation of the data by the Chi-square method, applying a test of independence in the contingency table, my hypothesis was not confirmed, as only two out of fifteen questions showed a negative relationship between children's stay in the children's home and the behaviour of the environment. As a result, children from children's homes, in most cases, do not subjectively perceive their social disadvantage. This bachelor's thesis can provide an up to date information material for children's home management and it could also be used as a basis for further research on the subjective perception of children being placed in institutional care.

DEJOVÁ, Natálie
The aim of my diploma thesis was to map the experience of employees of children's homes and further of children's homes with a school and host care. The partial goals were to find out the benefits and risks of the implementation of host care for children with compulsory institutional education. The theoretical part explained in detail the principle of functioning of social and legal protection of children in host care, the system of institutional and substitute host care, differences in the life of a child in a children's home and children's home with a school and the principle of host care. In the practical part, the results of my research were clearly processed, and the research question was answered, which was focused on the view of the workers of children's homes and children's homes with a school and host care. Partial research questions found out what positives and what negatives host care can have for children with compulsory institutional education. A qualitative research strategy was chosen for the research of this thesis and questioning with the technique of semi-structured interview was chosen as the method. The data analysis was performed by the clustering method. Subsequently, two other methods were used; the method of simple enumeration and the method of contrasts and comparisons. The research files were selected by deliberate selection. The research group consisted of 5 principals, 3 social workers and 5 educators of children's homes and children's homes with a school meeting the selection criteria. My research shows that the experience of host care is for all workers positive, even though everyone is aware of certain risks that host care entails. However, they agreed that the positives of host care prevailed. The main benefit of host care, as can be deduced from my research, is the possibility for the child to see and experience the functioning of a normal family within host care. The main risk of host care may include disproportionate attachment of the child to the host provider or vice versa and the associated disappointment of the child or host providers. The results of my research will serve as acknowledgment to all employees of institutional facilities who participated in my research, and the brochure created, will also serve to increase the awareness of people who are interested in this issue.
