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.
