The case conference as an instrument of social worker at the Department of social and legal protection of children
ARNOŠTOVÁ, Kateřina
The bachelor thesis deals with a case conference, which is one of the tools of social work with the family. The aim of the work is to find out how social workers in region of Jindřichův Hradec use this method and if they perceive it as an effective tool of their work. The theoretical part of the work is based on the study of professional literature related to the topic. It is focused on definition of terms such as social work with the family, social and legal protection of children, the role of a social worker and a case conference. Topics such as family, family functions, non-functional family or social work are explained here. The practical part of the bachelor thesis deals with the evaluation of research questions through a qualitative research strategy. The necessary data were gained through interviews with social workers who have personal experience with the implementation of the case conference. I categorized the gained material by the method of open coding and subsequently I analysed it. On the basis of these steps, it was possible to evaluate the goal of the bachelor's thesis and make a conclusion. From the results of the research, it can be concluded that case conferences are widely used by social workers, as it is a method that they consider very beneficial and effective. Thanks to this method, the work with the family has become faster and more coordinated. We can see the successes that social workers record after its implementation. The gained results could be used in praxis as a base for a deeper contemplation on the topic or they can become an inspiration for social workers who work with this method.
