Professional readiness of children in children´s homes from the point of view of social work
FLEKALOVÁ, Simona
This bachelor thesis focuses on the role of the social worker in the professional preparation of children in children's homes, but also on the subjects involved in this process. The aim of the bachelor thesis is to find out what procedures and activities are carried out by the social worker in preparing children for secondary education, what methods are used or what actors are involved. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical parts. In the theoretical part of the thesis I deal with the definition of institutional education in the Czech Republic, the legislative anchoring of this issue, the role of the social worker in the children's home, and finally the child's departure from institutional education. The practical part of the thesis is devoted to the research itself. In order to achieve the goal, qualitative research, questionnaire method, semi-structured interview technique was chosen. One research set was chosen, which consisted of 5 social workers from the Czech Republic. The collected data was evaluated using elements of the grounded theory method, with open coding and categorization in the first stage and axial coding in the second stage with finding relationships between the codes and categories. Graphical processing of the categories was done in Atlas.ti. The results of the research show that the social worker in professional readiness in children's homes is mainly responsible for administrative tasks and communication with children and parents of the children placed. Many actors are involved in the process of professional readiness mainly educators, the director of the institution or the primary school. Non-profit organisations that organise weekend or holiday stays for the children and, last but not least, the services of the employment office and school fairs are still widely used.
