Social work with foreigners from the point of view of the Authority for Social and Legal Protection of Children
FAJTLOVÁ, Tereza
This diploma thesis is part of the project entitled "Selected aspects of the integration of foreigners living in the Czech Republic and their relationship to social work" (reg. no. GAJU 101/2022/S). The aim of the work is to analyze and describe the barriers of social work with foreigners from the point of view of the social and legal protection of children (OSPOD). For the purposes of the thesis, two research questions were chosen. 1. What differences do social workers from OSPOD encounter during social investigations of foreigners? 2. What is the course of social work with foreigners? The diploma thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. In the theoretical part, the terms related to migration are defined, it also deals with social work with foreigners, defines its methods and support networks for foreigners, and last but not least, the definitions related to the authority for the social and legal protection of children, its characteristics, the legal framework and next. The practical part of the work contains the results of research related to social work with foreigners from the point of view of the authority for the social and legal protection of children. A qualitative research strategy, an interview method and a semi-structured interview technique were chosen for the preparation of this diploma thesis according to the instructions. Interviews were conducted with OSPOD managers or with other employees authorized by the manager. The interviews were evaluated using an open coding method and nine domains were created. Based on the research, it was found that social work with foreigners from the point of view of the social-legal child protection can be in many respects the same as with Czech clients, but the truth is that in connection with the outbreak of war in Ukraine, this situation of workers brought a lot of work and which they have not encountered until now, such as working with unaccompanied minors or other education system in Ukraine. The work was mostly time-consuming and psychologically demanding, but the informants' testimony showed that the OSPOD workers here had many positive things and these experiences brought them personal development and insight into another culture. The information obtained showed that the biggest barrier when working with foreigners is the language barrier. A problem related to the language barrier is also the lack of interpreters, which complicates the whole situation when working with foreigners, and social workers had to look for other solutions to communicate with foreigners. Other barriers are for example unrealistic expectations and mistrust on the part of clients, arrogance, non-acceptance of Czech law and reluctance to accept a new environment. On the part of OSPOD employees it is for example orientation in legislation related to the outbreak of war in Ukraine. It was about orientation in temporary protection, asylum law and permanent residence. As a result, OSPOD social workers had to adapt their work according to cultural differences. This work has the potential to assist other social workers in improving their readiness to work with foreigners. It can also be assumed that this work will serve as study and informational material.

Jan Kaňák, Ph.D. Bc. Markéta Merklová, DiS. Praha 2022 Abstract In my diploma thesis, I address the question "How do the curators of the criminal activities of children and youth of one selected OSPOD in the Czech Republic construct a response to the dilemma of intervening vs not intervening in their normal practice?". My effort was to describe how curators of criminal activities of children and youth, as specifically targeted social workers of OSPOD, create responses to the dilemma of intervene vs not intervene. The motivation for choosing this topic was that I myself, as a former curator, faced this dilemma and did not know how to respond adequately and in time to such situations. The greatest support for me at that time was sharing the situation with colleagues who did not always have the time and desire to think about the topic. I was interested in whether curators encounter these situations and how they react to them. These findings can subsequently serve as...

HÁJÍČKOVÁ, Andrea
This diploma thesis is focused on the issue of parental competence in vulnerable families. It offers an insight into social work with families where biological, psychological or social development of children can be threatened. Parental competence is related to fulfilling functions of family and satisfaction of needs of all family members. The aim of this work is to describe how social workers support and develop parental competence when working with vulnerable families and children. In accordance with the aim of the work, the author defined two research questions which focus on how social workers approach and influence parental competence of their clients. In her research, the author used qualitative approach which provided deeper understanding of social workers' intervention in vulnerable families. The research involved survey and semi-controlled interviews. To assessed the collected data, the method of data classification was used. The analysis of the obtained data has shown that it is essential to develop principals of family support which are reflected in the relationship between social workers and families. Only then support can be provided. Social workers should strive to build trust, approach families with respect, empathy, authenticity, without prejudice and in certain cases with sufficient authority. In their interactions with families, social workers should act as partners, motivate clients towards change and promote interdisciplinary collaboration. To develop and support parental competence, it is important to create a support system and define desired patterns of collaboration. Social workers should provide not only information but also support, help, and alternative perspective on the situation to empower their clients. That can be achieved by accompanying families, providing practical training, mediating contact with social environment, providing professional assistance etc. This should be done so that client's will to learn and change their behaviour leads to successful acquisition of parental competence. Findings of this work can serve as a feedback for social workers.
