Building Legal Awareness Among Children Living in Children's Homes With the Support of a Social Worker
PROCHÁZKOVÁ, Natálie
The bachelor thesis deals with building legal awareness among children living in children's homes with the support of a social worker. The aim of the bachelor thesis is to determine the situation of legal awareness among children living in children's homes and to find out what role the social worker plays in building legal awareness among children in a selected children's home. The practical part is based on a combined type of research, the interviewing technique. First, legal awareness among children living in orphanages was investigated using prof. Gary Melton's international questionnaire. The method used was the guided interview, which was conducted individually with each child. The data collected was analyzed using the statistical program SPSS. The second research tool was a semi-structured interview which was conducted with social workers in children's homes. Coding in the subtext of the interview conducted was chosen to evaluate the data. The evaluation of the collected data was done by pencil-paper method and subsequent clustering. The research population consisted of a total of 63 people. From the research investigation, it was found that age does not affect children's attitudes towards granting rights in model situations. In terms of gender, only one situation showed that girls were more inclined to grant rights than boys. In the case of social workers and legal awareness building among children from children's homes, it was found that children's rights are primarily the concern of educators, but social workers also contribute to legal awareness building, especially before the child leaves the home. The findings of this bachelor thesis can serve all those who encounter children living in children's homes in their practice and the public who are interested in this topic.

Siblings and their relationships in children's home
HOJKOVÁ, Ráchel
This bachelor thesis, titled "Siblings and their relationships in children's home," is primarily focused on emphasizing the importance of working with siblings. The main goal of the thesis is to explore how caregivers, who spend time with these children and influence them in certain ways, perceive this topic. It aims to determine whether caregivers actively work with the children or if they do not feel the need to support their relationship. Another objective was to ascertain whether caregivers perceive that siblings influence each other and how this influence manifests. We also investigated the prevalence of sibling relationships in children's homes. The main research question posed and answered in the thesis is: Do caregivers in children's homes work on fostering sibling relationships? The research was conducted through qualitative methods, employing semi-structured interviews with caregivers from children's homes with extensive experience. Transcripts of the interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis, supplemented by open coding due to the abundance of content in the text. Emphasizing the importance of working with sibling relationships is one of the contributions of this thesis. Insights from this thesis can be utilized to improve the work of caregivers and other staff in children's homes. Since caregivers in children's homes influence the children placed there, it is essential to pay attention to their approaches towards the children. Information from the bachelor thesis should be integrated into specific practices in institutional care, while ensuring the best interests of the children themselves are kept in mind.

The attitude of educators in children's homes at the end of their career
MIŇOVSKÁ VOCŮ, Hana
The aim of the work is to describe how educators at the end of their professional career perceive their work in a children's home. For this purpose, the principles of substitute care, especially the forms of institutional education, were described in the theoretical part. With regard to the target group of female informants, a separate sub-chapter was dedicated to the children's home. Because institutional education cannot fully replace family education, attention was also paid to the risks of institutional education, especially the psychological deprivation that children from orphanages are often exposed to. In the following subchapters, the specifics of the educator's work in a children's home and his risk of stress, which can be one of the many factors of burnout syndrome, were described. Therefore, attention was also paid to prevention. The creative part is processed in the form of a qualitative approach. Data obtained from semi-structured interviews were analyzed and then interpreted through open coding.
