Monitoring of the Activities of Individual Regional Governments for Substitute Family Care.
REINOVÁ, Renata
The bachelor thesis focuses on substitute family care and the activities of regional governments in the process of its mediation. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to map the activities of individual regional governments for the promotion of substitute family care, then to find out how they bring this issue to the public and how they support and educate potential applicants for substitute family care. Two research questions were set in the bachelor thesis: "How do the regional governments promote substitute family care?" and "What activities do the different regional governments carry out to educate applicants for foster care?" The thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part includes a definition of the terms family, substitute family care together with a description of its various forms, an explanation of the topic of social and legal protection of children and the activities of regional governments in the process of mediation of substitute family care. In the practical part, a qualitative research strategy, a semi-structured interview technique and a questionnaire method were used to achieve the stated goal. The research sample consisted of social workers of regional authorities from the departments of social and legal protection of children who oversee substitute family care. The results were evaluated using open coding. The results of the interviews show that the methods of promoting substitute family care are mostly the same in the regional authorities surveyed. At the same time, it was found that the education of applicants for foster care is in most cases not carried out directly by the regional governments. This role is played by the contributory organisations that are mandated to carry out social and legal protection of children. This bachelor thesis can be used as a comprehensive study material for students, the public or those interested in substitute family care. Based on the data, the thesis can be used as a study material for strategic planning seeking to improve the promotion of substitute family care.
