Work with the Client´s Family Social Services
PITKOVÁ, Zuzana
My thesis work deals with working with the family of a social services client. Social services can be defined as a set of activities to provide assistance to persons in unfavourable social situations. The main purpose of social services is to preserve human dignity and to encourage the given persons to pursue activities that do not protract or worsen their social situation (in other words, to prevent their social exclusion). People may find themselves in a difficult social situation for various reasons (e.g. because of age or poor health status). The most frequent social services users are seniors and persons with disabilities. With regard to the fact that in the future I would like to work in a job treating the above-mentioned target groups, I focused on them in my thesis. I suppose that mutual cooperation between a family and the staff in the social care providing facility can have a positive affect on the client himself. For this reason, I conceived my thesis in a broader context - a family, a social services user and a social services provider. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part describes all the important aspects related to a family, social services and basic characteristics of the Blansko district. In the practical part the target of the thesis was stated. I wanted to learn what problems most families face (not just prior to placing the client to a social services facility, but also in the course of the stay), what their experience with the facility is and whether they are informed about all available social services offered in the area. To compile the thesis quantitative research was applied. I used the method of questioning, the technique of structured interviews with family members of senior home clients and persons with mental disabilities attending a daycare stationary. The thesis could serve as information material on social services not only for families involved in my research, but also for the general public - to provide information about availability of social services for seniors and persons with mental disabilities in the Blansko district in the South Moravian Region.

Realization of People with Mental Retardation in the Labour Market
PITKOVÁ, Zuzana
My bachelor thesis addresses the problem of finding a working place for mentally handicapped people at the job market in our country. People with a mental handicap represent one of the largest groups among the handicapped. Integration of an individual into the working process not only influences his economic security and social status, but it also has a positive impact on the personal development. However, at our job market, there is a serious lack of adequate working places for people with a mental handicap. This thesis is divided into theoretical and practical parts. The theoretical part describes mental retardation, causes of its development, diagnostics, classification, combination with other kinds of handicaps, special characteristics and needs of these people. Further, it focuses on education and upbringing of the mentally handicapped and on the work issues (importance of work, unemployment, work possibilities for people with a mental handicap, benefits and duties of the employer and a brief characterization of an employee with a mental handicap). In the practical part, I set the goal of hypotheses of my work. The goal of the thesis is to asses the attitude and opinion of employers regarding employment of the mentally handicapped and further if these people are interested in finding work at the job market and if there is a sufficient offer of working positions for them in the South Moravian region. I set two hypotheses. The first hypothesis claims that most of the employers show only a little interest in employing people with a mental handicap. The second hypothesis assumes that it is problematic for the mentally handicap to find work at the labour market. The method I used to collect data was quantitative research. More specifically, I employed the inquiry method {--} the technique of written inquiry with employers in various companies and the technique of standardized questioning with people with a mental handicap. This work should serve as a source of information for wide public and the mentally handicapped in the South Bohemian region (mediate information on the possibilities of finding work for the mentally handicapped people).
