The Life Situation of Children Located in Klokánek
SEMOTÁNOVÁ, Denisa
The Bachelor thesis is focused on life circumstances of children sent to Klokánek. This institution is a Fund of Endangered Children project which aims at providing children with transitional family care instead of institutional upbringing until they can return back to their parents or until permanent foster care is found for them. The theoretical part of the work is divided into 5 chapters. In the first chapter, the concepts of child and family are described. The second chapter deals with the concept of family, its role and function. The remediation of a family, its conditions and legislative framework are explained afterwards. Permanent foster care is described in the fourth chapter. The Fund of Endangered Children was chosen for the last chapter. The work makes use of qualitative type with questioning technique. A semi-structured interview carried out with social workers was used as a data collection technique. The principal objective of the research part of the work aimed at finding out the most common reasons for putting children into Klokánek and the possibilities of their return after the termination of their stay in that institution. In another chapter, the results of the research are presented and processed using descriptive statistics with charts. This part includes the particular statements of the social workers. The results show that the most frequent reason for admitting children to Klokánek is neglected care. It means ignoring basic life needs of children such as safety, love and acceptance. It also follows from the research that more than a half of the children keep staying at Klokánek. The following part of the work is a chapter called Discussion in which individual results are interpreted and compared with literature and a similar research.

Overview of facilities for children who need immediate assistance in the Czech republic and specification of the Fund for children in need facilities.
ČADOVÁ, Lenka
The thesis is focused on facilities for children who require immediate help (ZPDVOP) as an instrument of a socio-legal protection of children in the Czech Republic. The introduction describes the importance of a family, family disorders, fundamental legal instruments on children?s rights and socio-legal protection of children, including the legal framework of facilities for children who require immediate help. The objective of this work was to present basic information on facilities for children who require immediate help in the Czech Republic and to describe the specifics of these facilities that are run by the Fund for Children in Need. Quantitative research, the method of document analysis and the technique of secondary data analysis were applied to prove the hypotheses. The data obtained in the research were processed and diagrammatized. To describe the Children?s Centre of South Bohemia and another facility called Klokánek, in Hostivice, qualitative research, document analysis and secondary data analysis were applied. The method of a questionnaire and the technique of a half standardized interview were used during the visits to these facilities. Two hypotheses were being checked. The first hypothesis, claiming that the number of facilities in particular regions is not equal to the number of citizens, was proved. The other hypothesis, claiming that the organizational structure of the Fund for Children in Need differs from the structure of facilities run by other institutors, was also proved. Two hypotheses arose from the qualitative research: children who stayed in Klokánek were more satisfied than children who stayed in any other facility for children who require immediate help, the work in Klokanek is more demanding than in other facilities, the number of children who return back to their families is higher in facilities that are run as children?s centres than in Klokanek facilities. This thesis can serve as an outline file on facilities for children who require immediate help in the Czech Republic and also as a background for further research in this field.
